| Duelund DCA16GA I`ve decided to give the Duelund 16 GA a try. I ordered 8 meters of it on Sept 11 and it`s supposed to be here this Tuesday the 18th.Single run from my amp to Revel F52`s...replacing (hopefully) my MIT Music Hose 750`s that I`ve been using for qui... | |
| Best TT under $1k Awhile back, I was thinking about either selling my upgraded Rega P5 or continue to add mods to it and even posted a thread here on AudiogoN asking opinions/suggestions on which way to go.I`ve added a number of upgrades since and I`m no longer loo... | |
| Best TT under $1k If you can find a nice clean Rega like a early P3 for a good price like $450 or so, then you can get your foot in the door. Then you can shop all the various upgrades that are out there.Each upgrade can make for a nice improvement and can make it ... | |

| Best Cartridge for $1000-$1350? Have a look at the Dynavector 17D3 | |
| Mod my Rega P5 OR...time to move on ?? UPDATE....I added an SRM Silent Base a few months back and from getting the motor detached from the plinth and using the stainless 'cones' there was a nice drop in noise. I`d guess about 30% of what the Groovetracer subplatter did in that regard.... | |
| Best Speaker cable in the $400.00-$500.00 range for 2 meters Ok...now I`m wondering if the Duelund wire would be an improvement over the MIT 750 Music Hose that I`ve been using for the last 15 years or more ??? | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? Just wanted to add an update.I revamped my setup quite a bit since I posted to this thread.Changed out 3 power cords and got some shorter RCA interconnects at the same time.I took out the Yaquin tube buffer and reconnected the Tortuga Audio passiv... | |
| Rega Planar 3 upgrades help. Basically that`s what the SRM Silent Base does ! I added one, as did my buddy and it absolutely lowered the noise level. We both agreed on that without doubt.In fact, after I set his up for him he asked me what to expect knowing I`d already done m... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money @elizabeth ...I`d be interested in knowing what cables you use now.I have a pair of .5 Meter KCAG that I now use between my Tortuga Premp and Herron phono stage and it was a step up from the Silver Streaks that I had been using for the last couple... | |
| First impression: Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp @steveyork...I` m looking forward to your thoughts on the upgrade.@bpoletti ...That`s quite an endorsement ! I have a ZYX that sounds nice to me but maybe a move up the Herron would help it to sound even better.Has me really wondering now... Does ... | |
| PRIMALUNA OR ROGUE AUDIO Rogue..Great sound great customer support and there`s always an upgrade path AND it`s made here not China. | |
| First impression: Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp I`ve been wondering lately if there would be an improvement going to the VTPH-2 from my VTPH-1 MC Plus.On the surface it doesn`t seem to be cost effective for me because I don`t see myself going back to MM cartridges.Why pay for features that I`ll... | |
| First impression: Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp @ professorsvsu You`re a good sport ! Thanks for that, but if I may, I`d like to add this too:I actually had to run a splitter off the back of the tube buffer because it only has one output.So, one goes to my subwoofer amp and the other goes to ... | |
| First impression: Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp @georgehifi What really seemed to help was adding the tube buffer. The volume level on the numeric display was usually maxed out at about 54-56 by..."maxed out" I mean what I felt was loud enough.Now though the display shows 40-42 for the same le... |
