| Ethernet Cables I challenge anyone claiming differences in ethernet cables passing packets. There can be zero differences because a bit is a bit. Bits just don't get dropped or we would not have communication over the internet. | |
| Ethernet Cables OK, let's think this through... What kind of ethernet cable is carrying the signal to the router and possibly to the internal switch in the house? It's generally marginal semi-junk that is just sufficient to carry the signal. Cheap copper. So ... | |
| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? HR-X with a VPI fixed gimble 3D arm. Then consider a SoundSmith Xephyr MIMC * cartridge. When your settled on the table and cart, get a Herron VTPH-2a phono stage. That should take care of your vinyl front-end. | |
| Why don't more recordings have soundstage outside of speakers Too many possible reason and variables to list. | |

| Your tube preamp and ss amp thread I've had Herron amps since they were first released. Started out as M-150's but were upgraded to M1's. They were first driven by a Herron VTSP-1, but now a VTSP-3A (r03). I'm satisfied. | |
| Seller ants my credit card info @kgbspy Maybe the seller could physically process that card. But does his merchant agreement allow him to accept cards as payments for transactions that are not related to his business? | |
| Seller ants my credit card info Absolutely, positively DO NOT GIVE YOUR CARD INFORMATION TO THAT SELLER IF THAT SELLER IS NOT A DEALER. Think it through.... What is that seller going to do with that card info since he isn't a dealer? He has no way to process the card or get p... | |
| Ground Wire Try it. What's the worst that could happen? | |
| Silver cables added resolution The "added resolution" is actually some added brightness that silver creates. | |
| This forum is antiquated. The forum might be antiquated, but so is a lot of the recordings and music we still enjoy, and the media on which those performances are record. | |
| Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar? @vpi I've never tried to connect a low output cart and a high output cart to my VTPH-2A at the same time. I don't know if the manufacturer recommends this or not. That's a good question for Keith Herron. | |
| What phono preamp are you using? Herron VTPH-2A, Lyra Skala. |
