| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital I have thought for a long time about this difference between vinyl and CD sound. They are in reality two entirely different perspectives on the sound of music. Since Stringreen and I are both violinists and have played for some 30-40 years in symp... | |
| What Solid State PreAmp? Mikeaudio, I know that based on your thread you are looking for a SS preamp rather a tube unit.However I would like to suggest a tube preamp that in my opinion will not benefit from tube rolling. That preamp is the Herron Audio VTSP-3. Like String... | |
| Gingko vs. pucks Kmulkey, I have been using a Gingko Cloud 11 under my Scout for several years and it sounds great. I have no complaints about it at all. I think that you would be very satisfied with a Cloud. | |
| Synergistic Research's Tricon Phono Cable I stated my comparisons above on 3-30-08 so you can tell that I thought the Tricon was fantastic. My advice- go ahead and reach for it, you will not be disapointed !! | |
| Upgrade turntable, arm or cartridge? I agree with Rickeyyan. I had the same combination that you have several years ago and was told by an Oracle rep. that the ET-2 arm is not a good match for that table.I loved the ET arm and what it could do so I got rid of the Oracle. My experienc... | |
| How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks? Years ago in the mid 60s I owned an Ampex F44 r-r and got rid of it in the early 70s for a ReVox A77 deck.

| Synergistic Research's Tricon Phono Cable I agree with Thaluza, I tried the Synergistics phono cable against the Hovland and Cardas and I bought the Tricon. It does everything that Thalusa said. I am a violinist and have played in several Symphony Orchestras and this cable reproduces the ... | |
| Acoustic Research AR-3 I agree with Bbro.Bill Legall is the speaker Master. I have two pair of AR3s and they sound wonderful. Bill is going to work on a pair of Large Advents for me as soon as I can get them to him. They need new woofer surrounds, updated crossovers and... | |
| Herron VTSP 2 or First Sound PreAmps I have had a Herron VTSP-2 for the past two years. I sent it back to Herron 3 weeks ago and had it upgraded to the 3 and got it back several days ago. It is one of the best pre-amps that I have ever heard or used, either tube or solid state. The a... | |

| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Emailists , I have a VPI table which has the connection block on the rear with RCA jacks,so the SR tone arm cable that I bought runs between the table and phono stage and has RCA connections on both ends. I am a violinist and have played in severa... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Hi Guys,I have just finished a 3 week trial from the CC of the Hovland Music Groove 2 and the SR Tesla tone arm cable. The SR blew me away.I have never had better vinyl sound, in fact for a long time I stopped listening to vinyl because I was so d... | |
| The passing of Marianne Barber of Joule Electra In 1964, I was working for a chemical company in Augusta Ga. when a young Chemical Engineer came to work at the company. That young engineer was Jud Barber. A fast friendship soon formed between us and we have remained best friends for 43 years. I... | |
