| Gauder Akustic Berlina RC7 I have not heard The Music. Very interested in comparing the two. Let me know how it goes. Scott | |
| Any Herron VTPH-2 Phono Stage Owners out there? I would buy the used VTPH-2 and not look back. I have the regular gain model and have had no problems with gain while using low output cartridges: Dynavector mkiii and Ortofon Windfeld to name two. The unit sounds great. I bought it over a Pass Xp... | |
| Please help a rookie –used amps for magnepan 3.7? I would not recommend the Modwright recommended above. I had problems with mine and it seemed to run out of power earlier than other amps I have used. If you are willing to look outside the name brands I would recommend the Primare A32 which can b... | |
| Esoteric A-03 amp- opinions on them as mono-blocs I would also like to hear an answer to this one. Any takers? | |
| Ortofon's new A95 - titanium SLM cartridge Hey Paul-- I love the Wingfield you sold me. scott | |
| Phono Preamp recommendation for VPI Prime I did a search in the $3000 t0 $3500 price range. I liked the Xp-15 and the Herron VTPH-2 best. I chose the Herron because I liked the tube midrange with he rest of my equipment which is solid state. If your sound is already warmish, I would go Pa... | |
| Stereo Amp To Match With Magico V3s My room 14 feet wide by 36 feet long. The speakers are in one end on the short wall. My current amps which put out 600 watts into a 4 ohm load are adequate. I think 200 watts per channel in an amp that doubles down because of its high current capa... | |
| Stereo Amp To Match With Magico V3s You are right-- an H30 would be great. Cannot say I have ever seen a used one on this site though. Of the Pass and the BAT, the BAT is cheaper so maybe that is the way to go. Any other opinions? | |
| 3k to spend... I would go VPI Scout II or Classic 1, target price 1400-1800. Agree that DV-P75 Mk ii at $475 is excellent; I have a perfect 150 hour Dyna XX-ii mkii which I would sell you as well if interested. Great analogue within your budget...Teeshot | |
| Vienna Acoustics The Music Thanks for the great responses. Guido I guess you never wrote part 2 of your report on these speakers-- I looked for it! My question for you guys is your perception of bass and lower midrange in the VAs. Both the Youman review in PF and Valin's RM... | |
| Mobile Fidelity Surface Noise I agree with the OP. For example, I had bought MF Los Lobos By The Light of the Moon and found a $4 copy at a used record store that had much quieter surfaces. I now usually pull out original LP. It's too bad-- I live only about 1/2 mile from Musi... | |
| Phono preamp or cartridge - which to upgrae first I know your phono stage and cartridge well. The Modwright is an excellent unit which can easily accommodate a better cartridge. The Dyna XV1S is great. At lesser cost the Ortofon Windfeld which I own or the Cadenza Black are both excellent. I own ... | |
| Cary SLP98P not working with Audio Research VT100 I had that exact combination for many years without a problem. Mine were plugged into the wall. Given what the OP has said, it must be the power conditioner or the cables. My VT100iii was also very finicky with after market power cables. If all el... | |
| Phono preamp: Sutherland 20/20 or Manley Chinook? I would call Keith Herron and see if he has any demo units of the VTPH-2. It does exactly what you want and does it better than the Chinook which I also auditioned. It is in your budget. It is a fine piece of equipment which more than fit in a rel... | |
| $10-15k speaker - Revel Salon2 / Usher BE-20 For what you want, the used pair of Wilson Sashas currently for sale are ideal. Deep bass, good power handling, ability to play loud. |
