| Tube preamp needed for Herron M1 mono amps. HI Mike, I owned a Herron VTSP-2 for several years and had Keith up-grade it to the 3 early this year. The 3 is better in all parameters of sound and is probably the last pre-amp that I will ever own. I am sure that the mating of either with the H... | |
| Grounding of Dedicated lines Thanks all for your confirmation that my current method of grounding is correct. I really do appreciate your comments. | |
| White residue on stylus Albert, after you spray the Premier on the record surface, do you vacuum it off or just wipe it off with a soft rag?Thanks,Carter | |
| Musicality vs Transparency & Detail Being a violinist like Stringreen, I agree with his statements above completely .I would also add, I think that the violin and piano are the two most difficult instruments to record and get the sound correct. As Stringreen, I have played in sympho... | |
| Best Power amps in $7000 range Boy does Parasound have build issues. The issues being that they simply build what is considered by many to be one of the best ss amps ever-the JC-1 monos. I have had a pair for four years. After having owned several high end amps in the past,they... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Has anyone tried the Tesla AU79 and Magnetic Tricon ICs together or an all Magnetic Tricon wired system? I would like to know your opinions.Thanks,Carter | |
| Power amp Suggestions for Dunlavy SC-IV Trinculo, like Pryso, I have a pair of the Duntech Princess speakers that were made by John Dunlavy in Australia and I am driving them also with a pair of JC-1 monos. Years ago I was using a Rowland Model 5 ss amp to drive them. It was some of the... | |
| Music Reference RM9 and Preamp Experiences Pubul57, you might give the Herron Audio VSTP-3 tube preamp a listen. In my system, it is fantastic and Keith Herron is great to deal with.Carter | |
| New SACD player Marantz SA8001 : leave it on? Hi Chenc, I have a Marantz SA 11S1 CD player and I leave it on all of the time. I have had it for over 2 years and have turned it off maybe 5 times in that length of time and can not detect any problems with it.Regards,Carter | |
| Phono Cable Suggestions? Check out the Synergistic Research Tricon phono cable.I tried it against the Hovland Grove 2 and preferred the Tricon. Absolutely a fantistic cable.Regards,Carter | |
| Wow I just got the KAB strobe Thom, I agree with you about using a tuning fork if the test record has a 440 hz tone band on it. Like Stringreen, I am a violinist and as you know we tune the violin to A 440hz. I have a Stereo test record that must be 25 years old and it has a 4... | |
| Typical upgrade path from VPI? Madfloyd, I think that you just nailed the problem with you latest responce. If your speakers are overloading the room in the deep bass, then I bet that your are getting a bunch of mid bass suck outs due to various node multibles. These suck outs ... | |
| VPI Scout Upgrade Path Help Steve, I have a VPI Scout with the standrd JMW-9 arm ,the table sits on a Ginko Cloud 11. I have added the Super Platter and have had the SDS for some time. This maybe overkill for the Scout but my long range goal is to eventually sell the Scout a... | |
| How many use Vintage Hi-Fi systems? Hi Guys, when I think about all of the old great vintage gear that I have had in the last forty years of this obsession, and either traded or sold ( Scott, Fisher, Technics SP-10 w/arm,Mac.,KLH and many others) that I would love to have back now, ... | |
| Mint Tractor Hey Guys, several weeks ago when I aligned my cartridge and VPI JMW 9 on a Scout with Super Platter, using a MintLP, I inserted three foam rubber wedges in a triangular fashion around the platter between it and the plinth and they held it in place... |
