| Preamp for Rogue Stereo 100 amplifier @pani Rogue's own preamp is an option but they are not as well reputed as the power amps so I am considering other options too. Budget, $3-4k new/used I don't think I'd say Rogue's preamps aren't as well reputed, particularly in the case of the... | |
| Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement @clearthink If you are going to do this for the purpose, goal, and objective of higher fidelity then you will also have to design, build, and install a clamping device to insure that your head never deviates from the optimum measured listening pos... | |
| Power Conditioner recommendations? @dwhess Does your conditioner improve the sound compared to no conditioner? I'm just wondering what may be gained by this replacement or exactly what you're trying to accomplish. | |
| Do you have a defining musical moment from your early years? at age 4 I asked my mom if I could buy a 45 for my little plastic record player with a lid. I picked Yellow Submarine (A side) with Eleanor Rigby (B Side). I've seen Super 8 video of myself dancing to the 45. The momentum never stopped from there. | |
| Herron VTPH-2A final thoughts. @wlutke Appreciate the feedback on your experience with VTPH-2A. I have no doubts I will feel the same in 6 months. Keep us posted on your experience when the VTSP-360 arrives. I will be interested in seeing how you feel it performs against you... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A final thoughts. @dodgealum Yeah, I will reach out to Keith to collect his thoughts. I have to say, adding the VTPH-2A has made me rethink the relative importance of the phono pre in the vinyl system. Compared to the other upgrades I've made along the way (TT an... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A final thoughts. @dodgealum Thanks for the comments coming from your reference point which seem quite on point to me given how likely similar the 3A and 360 are in design approach. This may be an irrational fear but my only hesitation is whether I'm giving up anyt... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A final thoughts. I just received my VTPH-2A yesterday and I’m completely blown away by the performance even early into break-in. I did notice the dynamics really begin to shine after the unit had been running about 45 minutes and kept getting better throughout the... | |
| Anyone else notice rating scales are getting inflated? It seems that grading is getting inflating in the world of used vinyl sales. NM doesn't seem to mean what it used to ...sigh | |

| Auralic Lightning DS App I have Vega G1 and like the Lightning DS app. In fact I did a short trial using Roon with the Vega G1 and dropped Roon because I liked the free Lightning DS app better, at least for my purposes. | |
| Is there such a thing as a Portable Hi-Rez USB player that can be used in a car aux input? I have a Jeep Wrangler soft top. Can't imagine pursuing hi-res in light of the tremendous road noise! ha. | |
| Has anyone used the Auraic G1 with the original Auralic Vega DAC? Not exactly what you are asking but I did see someone discuss (on the Auralic community board) using the Aries G1 streamer with the Vega G1 streaming DAC in order to get a more robust streamer (the Vega G1 streaming is pretty basic, the DAC being ... | |
| Rumors of iTunes Demise @n80 But I do see it as another step towards individuals not owning music at all. Perhaps counter balanced by continually growing vinyl sales - my favorite media to own music. | |
| What brand was better than it is today? Acoustic Research from the mid 50s to mid 70s. Very influential products - acoustic suspension bookshelf speakers which set the stage for all others. Tough to stay above the competition for 60 years.I think a more positive thread would be brands... |
