| I need your help. I have an ARC Ref 3, ARC 110, Vandersteen 5As, but no turntable. @fsonicsmith Given the OP's lack of stated budget constraints, why not suggest a good system rather than a more limited on? | |
| I need your help. I have an ARC Ref 3, ARC 110, Vandersteen 5As, but no turntable. @jaym759In my studied opinion and personal experience....I don't use ARC electronics any more (I used to, but moved on), but a lot of people (including myself) think the Herron Audio VTPH-2A is about as good as it gets for a phono stage. Exceptio... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp owner's advice. @dwette I use only the tubes provided by Keith. I have not found the need to use anything different. I keep in touch with Keith and he lets me know if he has found something better. I get my VTPH-2a to him for the change. When he works on a uni... | |

| Butcher BLock Acoustics under turntable There is a pretty comprehensive thread discussing maple butcher block under a VPI table. Very recent. Might want to search for it. | |
| $1000-1500 range for phono preamp... what to buy? Try to find a used Herron Audio VTPH-1. You will NOT find anything close for less than $3000 used except a used Herron VTPH-2, if you can find one. | |
| Just curious if anyone knows.. Why did Audio Research do away with the SP-6b? | |
| Turntable setup in Chicagoland area @ bpwalsh - shhhh... Audiogon will want a piece of the "value exchange." ;-) | |
| Turntable setup in Chicagoland area I would trust Brian Walsh. He has a long history and great reputation in the industry. I have met him several times and he has good depth of knowledge. I would not trust infectus005. | |
| Tube pre amp How about a used Herron Audio VTSP-1? VERY GOOD performer. Doesn't sound tubey, just very clean. | |
| Help with counterweight on VPI JMW 3d tonearm Glad this is resolved for you. | |
| Help with counterweight on VPI JMW 3d tonearm It might be under the counterintuitive. BTW, my early JMW-12 doesn't have a set screw. | |
| Help with counterweight on VPI JMW 3d tonearm Agree with @stringreen and add that you might want to try a drop or two of a light oil and allow time for the oil to penetrate into the joint. It might also be that the joint has seized over time and needs a little extra umph to break it loose. ... |
