| Herron VTSP-3A Herron makes one of the best phono stages in audio. | |
| Herron VTSP-3A I had the First Sound in my system for many months - I know people who love it. In my system, the FS was very good but ultimately a bit leaner than I like, and I didn't realize by how much until I put the Herron in. Remember, I was using the hot-r... | |
| Herron VTSP-3A Wow! A Herron thread!!I love Keith's gear and think he must be one of the most underrated designers in audio. Whatever he makes...pre-amp, phono-amp, power amp - it just sounds like - MUSIC. Plus they are reliable and worry free. Why doesn't Keith... | |
| Where does your user name come from? My handle comes from the world of horses. In the show ring, five gaited American Saddlebreds are ridden & judged at the walk, trot, slow-gait, rack and canter. The horses proceeed from the slow gait - a slow stepping pace - directly into the r... | |
| Warm Sounding Surround Receiver If good "wamrish" sound is important - Arcam, Rotel, Cambridge. | |
| CD Player for Cary system, pls... Cary makes great CD players, any several of which will smoke the Marantz.What are you looking to spend and would you consider used/demo? | |
| open/energetic but not harsh? what am i describing I would strongly recommend that you check out the Nola speaker line - very open, unboxy, coherent, yet very dynamic. They have a lot of that airy sound I like in planars and stats but they are more dynamic. Pleny of detail but without any harsnhes... | |
| Herron VTSP 2 or First Sound PreAmps Congrats! Enjoy. | |
| Moving up from Marantz 2325, to new amp and preamp Etbaby is talking about a power conditioner, not bi-amping. :-)You already know what I think...Arcam or B&K. Or Cary...but that would have to be used, and you'd have to use separates. | |
| Best Audio quality in Home Theatre Reciever? DVD ? knowing your sound preferences, you don't really need HDMI audio on your receiver - run the HDMI video direct from the Blu-Ray player to your Pioneer anyhoot, even though there are video HDMI inputs on the 350. You'll even get better sound for 2 c... | |
| which Brand of Reciever produces the Best Audio? The vintage sound is no longer considered the "best" audio sound. Best audio for HT in my book would be Meridian,then Cary...any of which would be 5 figures worth of HT audio equipmentModern "sound" is less fuzzy and warm than vintage sound, less ... | |
| best audio from a Blu Ray player Knowing you're coming from the wonderful world of stereo music listening... let me just point out that if you're going to listen to music through your HT system then none of the suggestions above will sound as good as a dedicated audiophile CD pla... | |
| Herron VTSP 2 or First Sound PreAmps Teck5, what did you end up buying?I owned both the First Sound Presence Deluxe MkII and the Herron, and frankly, the FS, as excellent as it is, was just not my cuppa tea.I absolutely LOVED my Herron VTSP 1a-166 and the 3 is even better! If I could... | |
| Has anyone heard the Herron VTSP-3 linestage? I do not suggest any tube rolling with Herron preamps. Keith cannily designs and voices his preamps using the most reliable tubes he can find - be it his superb engineering, voodo or black magic the gear always sounded best to me with the stock tu... | |
| My favorite Steely Dan song has to be... Oh no! I forgot Show Biz Kids! Love love love this band... |
