Herron VTPH-2A or Manley Chinook mk II phonostage
Herron, all the way.Search all the comments, then call Keith Herron. That's what I did and got mine about a year ago. No desire to side by side. Not at all. Its a keeper. 
Have Aesthetic Rhea. Calypso and Atlas Amp Have 12k budget for speakers. Recommendations
Congratulations!I'd go with Tekton Moabs, and Audiokinesis Swarm subwoofers. There are few speakers in that range can touch the Moabs, and none with the awesome bass of a Swarm. Then I would put the remaining $4k into Perfect Path Solutions Total ... 
Perfect Path Solutions Total Contact Mega Review
Oh yeah, it totally adds up. Been comparing and experimenting with stuff like this since the early 90's. The undisputed value champ for most of that time was Black Diamond Racing Cones. To this day I have BDR under every single thing in my system.... 
Perfect Path Solutions Total Contact Mega Review
I don't doubt it, not for one second. I'm sure nobody believes me, but there really is a system here in Seattle at Definitive, an insane $1.3M that is just what you said, cannot match the intimate musically natural sound I'm getting now.Its not ju... 
Subwoofer interconnect quality question
Oh yeah. The three most important elements in quality playback are speaker placement, speaker placement, and speaker placement.

That's like 110 pins to paste! Wow! I'm thinking of where to use the remaining 0.3ml and its down to coating things like tubes and the insides of outlets, component covers, stuff like that. Ideas? Frank? 
MOBILE FIDELITY ONE STEP VINYL
Roughly half the time I never revisit my posts. Partly because I've said what needed saying so why? But honestly, also partly because it just gets so dreary reading through the same old same old from people who might as well write a macro and hit ... 
How old to qualify for vintage?
With vintage turntables, do you have to decant, or can you play straight from the platter? 
Dual Subwoofer Placement
Apology in advance for getting all mathy, but its V/N where V is the variance and N is the number of subs. So if one sub measures +/- 6dB then 2 subs will be 6/2=3dB and 3 subs will be 6/3=2dB and so on. Main point being, once again, its demonstra...

^^^ Yep, Millercarbon ... it is hard to describe the lowering of the noise floor as done by using these products, and you just did an admirable job of it. Thanks.You're welcome. That'll be one dollar, please. Lol! Only 299 more and I can get anoth... 
Would you donate a dollar to have these Members Review a Product?
Lets see, you have a Luxman fanboy, a Synergistic fanboy and a GAN fanboy. What do you expect the results to be? I can give you a clue. BAD idea. You can add me as a McIntosh fanboy too. We could also add one of the Tekton fanboys to review Tekton... 
Pro-Ject Debut Acrylic Platter Sticking to Hub
Try a thin coat of graphite on the spindle. My platter is a bit different, but when removing it I place a small piece of wood across the spindle. Then hold the platter with the fingers, push down with the thumbs on the stick, this way you can pull... 
Perfect Path Solutions Total Contact Mega Review
That's a good metaphor. I can still remember as a kid being out at night in Montana, miles from any electric light let alone a city, far even from the camp fire, and this was back in the early 60's. The Milky Way is so bright you can see your shad... 
Subwoofer interconnect quality question
You moved the sub. That right there would be a bigger difference than any interconnect could ever make.I went from one sub to five. Wire was a big concern. I have a lot of Synergistic in my system, Element CTS speaker cables, Atmosphere Euphoria i... 
Perfect Path Solutions Total Contact Mega Review
Spent this past weekend applying TC and listening. Talon Khorus crossovers was huge, although hard to say it was all due to TC as an E-Card went in each one as well, and those E-cards are pretty impressive themselves. The Dayton sub amps got a lig...
