| Solid State Preamps I am currently using a Modwright 36.5 for a preamp. I spoke with Keith at Almarg's suggestion and he opines that the 22k impedance of the P-7 is marginally OK but that the 40k impedance C-03 will be fine. I have tried the Marantz preamp in my syst... | |
| Sleeper Debut Lps...70s classic rock I have two favorite sleeper debuts both from 1974. The Outlaws self titled first album with Green Grass & High Tides to me is the best southern rock album ever made. The second is Kansas' self titled debut. Most people have not heard this albu... | |
| Phono Preamp Suggestions Ignore my comment. No volume control on the Pass. | |
| Phono Preamp Suggestions I would look at a Pass Labs XP-15 demo from Reno Hifi for approximately $2700. It has plenty of gain for your application and meets all of your requirements. | |
| Herron VTPH-2 Phono Preamp I recently purchased the VTPH2 from Keith. I am using a cartridge with .28mv output. The 64db of gain from my VTPH2 is plenty in my system. | |
| Magico Comparison As the original poster, I have to say that I wanted people who had heard Magicos to weigh in on the models noted. I own Magicos and made that clear in the post. So for some of you, who would trash a speaker brand I more than admire, I own, is disa... | |
| Phono preamp comparison/Pass,Herron,Avid Based on the fervent recommendations here and my listening in the Herron Audio room at AXPONA, I ordered a VTPH2 from Keith. If I am dissatisfied with it for any reason, which I highly doubt I will be, I may get a Pass XP 15 to try. I ended up rul... | |
| Phono preamp comparison/Pass,Herron,Avid Great responses. Swanny I too have rediscovered vinyl after twenty years of digital. I listen occasionally now to my sacds but the vinyl is so engaging and really fun. I am going to AXPONA Chicago over the weekend where Keith Herron and Music Dire... | |
| Phono Peramp Choice/Pass, Herron, Avid Moderator--Please delete this thread. I thought the first one did not go through. | |
| Phono Preamp Gain Question Jmcrogan, I am using the same cartridge as you. And as I stated above, my preamp, a Modwright 36.5, has 12db of gain. The responses above have more or less convinced me to not consider the ARC PH6 or the CJ TEA2SE. I think my focus now will be on ... | |
| Tube preamp for $2,000 Another vote for Modwright. The like the almost new 9.0se that is available now is also a great piece; it is a great match IMHO for your tube amps because it is very open and non-tubey. Dont know your system to give better advice. | |
| SACD vs Analog I recently took the vinyl plunge after being SACD oriented. I spent a little more than $4000, but got a used Basis 2500, Vector 4 arm, Benz cartridge and Simaudio phono preamp. I had the table and cartridge set up by a professional; I also bought ... | |
| Ebay LP Purchases Thanks for the informative responses. I am heartened that so many people have had good experiences. | |
| Turntable recommendation Thanks to all who made helpful suggestions. I tried to buy a Well Tempered/Dynavector DV-500 only to find out that mounting another arm to that table is problemmatic and the importer has no blank mounting brackets available. Instead I purchased a ... | |
| Turntable recommendation Thanks for the responses. There is a Dynavector DV500 table available now which was designed by Well tempered' designer Bill Firebaugh. What would a combo of that table and a separate arm such as Origin Live or other arm around $1000 be like? |
