| My 1st Tube Equipment Experience I've finally found my sweet spot with the Herron and NAD settings. The Herron gain is set to low; the NAD M22 v2 gain is set to mid. Now I understand why many here have recommended a tube preamp and SS poweramp. I'm quite happy with the Herron/... | |
| Fedex issues I have these same issues with FedEx and UPS. While somewhat inconvenient, I have UPS deliver high dollar items to my local UPS store for pickup; I have FedEx hold my delivery at the distribution center for pickup. With other things, I take my ch... | |
| Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection? I have 1200 to 1300 vinyl albums collected during the 70’s and 80’s. Most are in very good to excellent condition because, I recorded about 40 reels and 100 cassettes from my favorite ones and mostly listened to them. I went the CD route for a wh... | |

| My 1st Tube Equipment Experience All of my components are plugged into a Furman Elite-15 PF power conditioner. The Furman is plugged into a PS Audio receptacle, which is connected to a dedicated AC line. I use WireWorld and VooDoo power cables; with a VooDoo cable to the Herron.... | |
| My 1st Tube Equipment Experience @jmolsberg. I bought it used. The VTPH-2A would be a nice addition I’m sure - if I could only sneak it in the house without my wife noticing (:Herron gain was set to Low. I set it to High and left the M12 at Mid. I had to lower the volume to a... | |
| My 1st Tube Equipment Experience @jmolsberg. I see said the blind man! I'm not yet sure what mode the Heron is set to. I like what I hear now, but I'm definitely going to play with the M22 and Heron gain modes today to see what happens. Thanks to everyone for your help. I'm ... | |
| My 1st Tube Equipment Experience This preamp has no gain setting that I can find, at least on the outside. My speakers are Tannoy 8 dcti. And yes, I have to put my ear to the tweeter to hear the hiss. I like the Heron paired with the M22 v2. I’m hearing all of the detail I he... | |
| My 1st Tube Equipment Experience With the Heron volume level set to 60 and the M22 gain set to Low, the sound was hollow. With the Heron volume level set to 60 and the M22 gain set to Mid, everything opened up. The detail is there, and the sound is so much more musical with a w... | |
| My 1st Tube Equipment Experience @noromance In general I would agree. The M12 is a too bright; I also don't use it's DAC, BluOS module, or phono inputs. If the Heron doesn't pan out, I'll look for something else. | |
| My 1st Tube Equipment Experience @jackd. I haven’t tried that but I will. Thanks for the suggestions. | |
| My 1st Tube Equipment Experience They are supposed to be. I'll check and let you know. | |
| New Qobuz User Comments I had Qobuz and Tidal. I dropped Qobuz because Tidal has a better selection of music that I like (old school R&B and Jazz). Tidal also has a military discount and Qobuz doesn't. I like MQA and Qobuz Hi Res doesn't sound any better to my ears. | |
