| Top Ten Tube PreAmp of all time? The Herron VTSP-3A(ro3) has to be on the top ten list of tube preamps. Vinalvalet, did you happen to own a VTSP-3A before you acquired your Herron VTSP-360? If so, please compare the two Herron preamps for us.Sflazor | |
| The Davone Ray-S Speaker--A unique speaker that is worthy of your attention and audition cdouillard,Yes, I still have my Davone Ray-S speakers and I continue to love them. My associated equipment includes a Herron VTSP3A (rev.03) preamp; Herron M1A monoblock amplifiers (150 watts into 8 ohm, 275 watts into 4 ohms); a Berkeley Referen... | |
| Herron VTSP-3A I apologize for all of the mispellings in my prior post. In the future I will proof read my posts before hitting the submit key. Oh well....Sflazor | |
| Herron VTSP-3A Luna,I have the 3A and it is dead quiet. Indeed, it is as quiet as the best of the solid state pre-amps, but is far more musical than any solid state pre. I bet you have a noisy tube that is causing the sound that you are hearing. You will not nee... | |
| Herron VTSP-3A Luna, the VTSP-3A is head and shoulders above the VTSP-3. It is far more musical. I find myself saying over and over, "That is a beautiful piece of music." The 3A is so perfect that I never feel inclined to use the word "neutral." Neutral is far t... | |
| Herron VTSP-3A Mitch2, the VTSP-3A has incredible bass. I have auditioned/owned many of the top contenders from CAT, Conrad Johnson, First Sound, Modright, Audio Research, etc. and none of them matches the bass I get from the VTSP-3A with my Rowland Model 10 amp... | |
| Jeff Rowland amp owners: What's your pre-amp?? I am glad Guidocorona restarted this thread. I am using a Herron VTSP-3A with my Rowland Model 10 and it is a wonderful match. I have tried a number of preamps with the Model 10 and do not find that balanced vs single ended matters as much as the ... | |
| Herron VTSP-3A Billspecfoc inquired regarding what amp I am using with my VTSP-3A. I am using a Jeff Rowland Model 10, which is a two chassis (separate control unit and power supply) 150 wpc solid state amp that I love. The synergy with the Herron is perfect. I ... | |
| Herron VTSP-3A I loved my VTSP-3 and felt it was perfect in every respect. When I learned that Keith Herron had redesigned this wonderful preamp and was offering an upgrade to the new VTSP-3A status for a very modest charge, I initially hesitated because I did n... | |
| Has anyone heard the Herron VTSP-3 linestage? Tympani, could you tell me where you obtained the Amperex 7308's and approximately what I might expect to pay per tube for a set of 6? I would appreciate your sharing this information. Sflazor | |
| Has anyone heard the Herron VTSP-3 linestage? Thanks for the correction, Arthursmuck. I am absolutely horrible with names. | |
| Has anyone heard the Herron VTSP-3 linestage? Lula:I have not tried any tube rolling with the VTSP-3. Dave Herron recommends against it. I have been so pleased with the sound produced by the stock tubes that I have not been tempted to try NOS tubes. The bass is terrific with the stock tubes. ... | |
| Has anyone heard the Herron VTSP-3 linestage? Lula: I own a VTSP-3 and it is fabulous. I have owned a number of highly rated preamps including CAT, First Sound, Krell, etc. and this is my favorite by far. It is dead quiet, has superb tonality, is very detailed, has tremendous bass and treble,... | |
| ARC LS26 performance for $2500-3000? Luna, I totally disagree. I have the VTSP-3, and it is head and shoulders above the VTSP-2. It has a much blacker background; it is far more detailed; its tonality is spot on; it has better base; and it is far more musical. The VTSP-3 is like a ch... | |
| ARC LS26 power cords, interconnects, tweaks Rayden 1972 and Jim swantko, you both state that you "used to own" the LS26. What pre did each of you purchase after the LS 26 and what aspects of the performance of the LS26 were lacking as far as your personal preferences are concerned? |
