Herron VTSP-3A
Hey guys. How about the AC Polarity switch? Do you mess with is much to see if it sounds better in the A or B position? 
Preamp suggestions
If you want to wait and maybe save up some more money, the Herron VTSP 3a would be a great choice. I suggest giving Keith a call if there is any interest on your part. No affiliation or anything, just a huge fan boy of his pre. 
Luxman or Leben with Devore?
Oh okay. I had only been to the solid state part of the website. I should have done a search before I posted. Thanks. The last time I heard anything from the Luxman line was 1982. So really, I don't have any experience with them but I bet you are ... 
Luxman or Leben with Devore?
What year or years was the MQ-88? I have the Luxman L-507u integrated on the way. I was curious to as to how the older models sounded in relation to the new stuff.

Are tone controls worth a second look ?
Actually, I don't think the new Luxmans have tone controls on the remote. Oh well. 
Are tone controls worth a second look ?
Luxman with tone controls on the remote. Can't beat that. I mean, if you are like me and play music via Itunes/Pure Music into a USB DAC, no need to get up if you choose a recording that is not so good, just make the adjustment on the remote. Now,... 
The Beatles Mono CD Box Set
I love the Beatles, but I get kind of annoyed with some stuff coming directly form one speaker and other instruments coming from the other. For example drums and base from one side and voices and guitars from the other. Would I bet better off gett... 
Which monitors for my tube system in a large room?
How about VSA Unifield 1s? 
a good pre amp with remote usd6000 or less used
Check into the Herron VTSP 3a. There is a good thread with plenty of info on this site. Just do a search, it should come right up. I chose this one over the Audio Research REF 5. 
the guess who vs the rock and roll hall of fame
I like the Guess Who, but I don't think they should be in the RRHOF. I can't stand the song American Women, but I love These Eyes. 
Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did???
I have a tube pre, the Herron VTSP 3A, which is hassle free. You can leave it on 24/7. I pair it will a solid state amp. I agree with others in that a tube pre and solid state amp is the way to go. I leave my system on 24/7 and don't worry about w... 
Is it possible to get Hi-end sound ??
As others have said, give us your budget. Let us know your room dimensions and what kind of music you like and we can start helping you out. There is lots of good budget system options that can sound great out there. 
advantage of seperates vs integrated
Thanks Phaelon. Okay, go ahead and buy one and let me know how it sounds :). I may be looking to simplify and go back to integrated for my main system in about a year or so. I certainly would want to look at the Neodio. Also maybe Luxman and Linde... 
advantage of seperates vs integrated
I have always been curious about Neodio. One other poster raved about the 150. I bet the NR 1200 is very good. Not much on the net though, do they even sell them in the States?
