| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? The only class D amp that I've ever heard is the NAD M22 v2. I've paired it with a Herron VTSP-3A (r02) tube preamp. Being able to adjust the gain on both (VTSP set to low; M22 set to mid), with the Herron's 100 step volume control has allowed m... | |
| Innous Zenith MKII and Roon DSP An update to my original post. I purchased the Small Green Computer SonicTransporter i7 for Roon DSP (thanks david_ten!) to solve my Zenith MKII Roon DSP issues. And just recently, I purchased a tube preamp, a used Herron VTSP-3A (r02). It pai... | |
| My 1st Tube Equipment Experience @rodman99999. Understand. Thanks, I’ll PM you tomorrow. | |
| My 1st Tube Equipment Experience @rodman99999 I’m new to tubes and have never rolled tubes. All 6 tubes in the Herron VTSP-3A are of the type 6922. What's different about the one's you are offering? | |
| My 1st Tube Equipment Experience Run the Herron directly from the wall outlet. Why? | |
| My 1st Tube Equipment Experience The Tubadour III looks interesting, the Tubadour Signature edition even more so. Audio Mirror's trial period makes this even more interesting. @jmolsberg Thanks for the suggestion.@atmasphere I'm also wondering how much better a Herron VTPH-2... | |
| 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 @atmasphere. Thanks for insight and advice. | |
| 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... |
