| Best interconnects used for around $500 +? I have been very pleased with Herron Audio cables. I haven't had any reason to change. That said, I have not heard a very wide variety of cables. | |
| Record Revirginizer I never use anything but Disc Doctor fluid and a VPI RCM. If the record is particularly bad, more than one application might be necessary. But the results are consistently excellent. | |
| VPI Classic Platter- Naked or better with a mat? This is a family-oriented forum. Please take your platter porn elsewhere. ;-) | |
| Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp?? raul, when you did your side-by-side comparison between the Klyne and the Herron VTPH-2, what were your specific observations? I'm very interested. I've heard both and have my own personal opinions. | |
| Help search for a phono stage that fits my system IMO, Herron Audio VTPH-2. It's currently the last word in phono stages. Period. Nothing better regardless of cost. And it doesn't cost that much, well under that $5K point. Works great with the DVs and pretty much any other MC, MI or MM cart.... | |
| Best amplifier and preamp for klipsch heresy 3 A low- to mid-wattage vintage Audio Research tube amp (Maybe a D76 or D79) with an Audio Research tube preamp (SP-6, SP-9, SP-10) would be a good combination with the Heresy III. If you really want to try something interesting, try a Dynaco ST-70... | |
| 5% THD to .000 THD SOUND Doesn't matter. Listen carefully to the amp using YOUR preamp and YOUR speakers. Your preamp needs to be able to drive the amp, the amp needs to be able to handle the load presented by your speakers. The amp needs to be able to provide the rang... | |
| Is the Merill "Gem Dandy" turntable far superior in sound than the Project RPM-3 TT?? To each their own. Like I said, some people like the colorations of the Rega. | |
| Help Picking a turntable inna - absolutely right. You comment is hard to beat. | |
| Help Picking a turntable Amen to the VPI Classic. Very good table at its original price. Discounted, its a great deal. That VPI arm mates very well with an AT OC9/II. Hard to beat at twice the price. | |
| Curious .. What is the compared price of your tt vs spkrs Let's see.... I guess, based on retail price, my tt, arm and cart is around USD 4500 - 5000. Original retail. Phono stage is around USD 3500. So we'll say, conservatively, around USD 7500 - 8000. Conservatively. Speakers... Custom designed ... | |
| Help me choosing Phono Preamp rwhowe11 - Don't know about others, but I never use reviews to decide what units to consider, only units that get crossed off the list. Too much bias and personal preference involved. Too many other factors that may influence a review. Read into t... | |
| Is the Merill "Gem Dandy" turntable far superior in sound than the Project RPM-3 TT?? Comparing the tables is really a matter of preference. Some people really like all the colorations introduced by Rega tables. Others prefer the more neutral performance of the Merrills.The Jelco SA-750 is a significantly better arm than the -250... | |
| cleaning liquid for LPs I have been very satisfied with Disc Doctor cleaning fluids. Not terrible expensive, but really effective.DON'T BE FOOLED INTO USING ANY ALCOHOL-BASED CLEANERS. They can leach out some of the softeners required to help a record recover from use. | |
| Recommendation on MC cartidge and Phono Preamp There goes Peter / pbnaudio, again. Recommending components that he manufacturers without a disclosure. Nice job, Peter. |
