| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? To me, it seems like you're just NOT interested in the music. | |
| Cartridge Suggestion Requested The AT-OC9/II is a surprisingly good cartriddge. It is NOT as "thick" as an ART-9. Another consideration if the OC9/II reputation scares you away is the AT 33Sa. | |
| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? It's a good performer. If you don't like the way it looks, listen with the lights out. What is the point of investing in great-performing equipment, anyway? Is it for you to stare at or are you actually going to listen to music? | |
| Where were your audio components designed/engineered? All the Herron gear was engineered in the U.S. That’s phono stage, pre, amps and the [modified] DAC (St. Louis)Turntable and arms were engineered and manufactured in the U.S. (New Joysee)Cartridges were engineered and manufactured in Japan The Onk... | |
| Design a $60,000 Speaker - Start here Designing well-braced cabinets that work within the constraints of baffle-step is one thing. The use of top-notch drivers is another point. But it has been my personal experience that developing a good crossover is probably 75% of the effort and... | |
| Ineed some help with a simple math equation Your preamp will likely breath a little easier with the 400w/29dB gain amp if the amp's input impedance is equal on both amps. | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations please to partner with Parasound JC-1's.... How about a NEW Herron Audio VTSP-360? No phono stage but maybe Keith Herron will cut a deal for a combo purchase with a VTPH-2. The worst he can say is no. However, in my opinion, if he says yes, you will have a combo that will be difficult to m... | |
| Mark Levinson has odd choice for cap upgrades in one of their service bulletins. Why? There are three possible reasons. First, because it sounds better.Second, because it's cheap.Third, because it sounds better and it's cheap.Sometimes "better quality" caps actually hurt the performance. Their resonance (physical and electrical) ... | |
| whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money DIY - Cerro 12 gauge stranded THHN. Twist conductors around each other one turn per foot. Do not terminate. Use bare copper into the amp and speaker connectors. Get the wire from Home Depot or Lowe's. Clean, detailed. IMO, beats a lot of expens... | |
| Herron 1A,, Herron 2A, Modwright LS100 or Aesthetix Calypso? I have owned a Herron VTSP-1, upgraded to the max over time. I traded it in on a VTSP-3A and have upgraded it to the latest version. As really good as the VTSP-1 was, the 3A (r03) is outstanding. Until I heard the VTSP-360, I had not heard anyt... | |
| Allnic 1201 and Herron VTPH-2 I heard an early version of the Allnic under the worst possible of conditions - an audio show. That unit I would only categorize as satisfactory. But it was at a show and under the very worst of conditions. Too many variables in other manufacture... | |
| Allnic 1201 and Herron VTPH-2 tablejockey-You specifically said " The Allnic, based on all the reviews, has the superior transformer and associated circuitry." That isn't statement construction. So where are ALL the reviews that you are citing? Where are ANY of the reviews... | |
| Allnic 1201 and Herron VTPH-2 tablejockey - Please provide the sources for the reviews related to the Allnic vs. Herron transformers. Did any of the reviews cite the superior performance of the Herron or did they focus on the transformers? | |
| Jelco SA-750D or Rega RB250 Jelco SA-750D. Period. I can't think of any Stock Rega that is in the same league. Haven't heard ALL the arms using Rega parts, but EVERY Rega-based arm has the same sonic signature. | |
| VPI Analogue Drive System All the "speed control" fanatics are completely missing the point and the REAL issue. Speed control is NOT the issue. It is VOLTAGE control. At wall voltages, the motor will generate pulses that are carried to the table through the belt (or dri... |
