Herron VTSP-3A
When I first got my Herron 3A, I listened with the Polarity Switch in each of the A & B settings, determined which was the correct one for the right polarity and have not touched it in two years. I leave it on 24/7 unless I am going to be away... 
Whats the diff in these Synergistic Research cable
Zeal, SR makes a line of ICs named the Magnetic Tricon and it is in the Tesla Series.I have these throughout my system and am very satisfied with them. I suggest that you give them a listen. They are one notch below the Accelerators and I thought ... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Hi Sabai, what improvement if any would one notice with the SE version of a Hologram D PC over the standard one that it replaced when not used with a power conditioner such as the 10ES ?Thanks,violin 
Power strip recommendation.
Try Synergistic Research QLS-6 with SR T-2 power cord. 
$3500 to spend on a tube preamp....ideas?
Since you have the Herron Mono amps , I would go with the Herron VTSP-3A preamp. The Herron Audio room has been considered by several audio reviewers in the past to be one of the best sounds at some of the Audio Shows.The VTSP-3A is a wonderful pr... 
Adding tubes to SS system-Tube Preamp Amp or Int?
Hello Nuck, I can only speak to my system and my tastes in music and all of the above comments have merit. I have a pair of Parasound JC-1s fed by a Herron Audio VTSP-3A tube preamp and a Herron Audio VTPH-2 tube phono stage and the synergy betwee... 
Man between two eras
I am using a Marantz 2275 driving a pair of Large Advent speakers and the sound is wonderful. I use an indoor antenna and I get a classical station that is 90 miles away with no noise or station flutter. Highly recommended.violin 
Direct Drive TT...vintage era....sleepers....
Hi fellows, would the Micro Seiki DD 40 tt with the MA 505 arm fit into the recommended DD TT group as mentioned above?Violin 
Herron VTSP-3A vs. Shindo
I agree with Davt, the Herron VTSP-3A preamp sounds like music. What more could one ask for? I also have the Herron VTPH-2 phono stage and they are a great match. I do not think that I will be in the market for another preamp or phono stage in the... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Is anyone on this forum using the SR Tesla Vortex speaker cables in a bi-wire configuration and if so I would like to know your comments?ThanksCarter 
Dynavector 10X5 v. AT OC9
Hi Guys, I am curious if any one has used or is currently using the AT OC9/III with a VPI JMW-9T tonearm and if there are any resonance issues with this combination?Thanks for your comments,Violin 
Herron VTPH-2
Hi Dodgealum, all that I can say is I agree with everything that Davt has said in his response. I also have the Herron VTSP-3A as he does and the sound is wonderful. The VTPH-2 is so very quiet that you hear no tube noise within any listening leve... 
Any JC-1 owners use the 2nd set of spkr terminals?
Hi E30m3, I am using both sets of terminals on my JC-1s for by-wire having one set on each amp connected to the mid and tweeter and the second set connected to the bass for that channel. Also I have a pair of sub woofers and each one is connected ... 
Stand out phono stages
I would like to nominate the Herron Audio VTPH-2. Excellent in every way that I can mention. 
Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths
Hello Fellows, I am not trying to hi-jack this wonderful thread but I have a question about wall voltage and it's effect on not only tt motors but amps, pre-amp etc. Logenn's comments above caused me to think about my situation. I live appx. 4 mil...
