| Tube Phono Stage with balls, and slam!! rlawry - Your statement only applies to components that don't take into consideration using solid state amplification with tube preamps. Good designers make their amps with sufficient input impedance to work with the higher output impedance of tu... | |
| Researching Preamps In my studied opinion, the combination of a Herron VTPH-2 and a Herron VTSP-3a(r03) is in a league by itself. The combo is around $10k but the units can be purchased separately. There will be a big increase in performance with the addition of eith... | |
| Best current footers for preamps? Have you tried Vibrapod Cones? They work well for me. I have them under my Herron Audio gear. At the price, the Vibrapod Cones are a cheap experiment. | |
| Yes "Fragile" How great of an album is it? I like most of the work by Yes even though it can be hard to figure out just WHICH Yes is performing. Lots of different musician combinations. Fragile is a showcase album. It features "solo" work by the band members to show off their individua... | |
| Upgrading to an external Phonostages for my system Glad you're happy with the VTPH-1. It is a fine piece of equipment. Before I got my VTPH-2, I had many hours of pure listening enjoyment with the VTPH-1. | |
| 1 pair of good interconnects- which 2 components should I use them on? If you only have one pair of good interconnects, it doesn't matter where you use them. The rest of the system will drag down your performance. | |
| Herron VTPH-2 Lew - Call Keith Herron and arrange an audition. Investigate the value of your current phono stage and prepare it for sale. | |
| Herron VTPH-2 All of my electronics, except my DAC and optical transport, are from Herron Audio. Even the cables. I have heard nothing better. Keith Herron is a master of customer service and will always give friendly, unbiased advice when asked.IMO, the VTP... | |
| Do female audiophiles exist Female audiophiles exist. And, everything else being equal, females generally have better hearing than males. | |
| Why does my 35 watt tube amp draw 300 watts of power The short answer to your question is "yes." | |
| Solid state amp to replace my Audio Research Ref 150 amp A solid state amp to replace your Ref 150? Same level of performance? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. | |
| Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce Why the question? If you actually LISTEN, there is no comparison. Period. Wilsons, hands down. If you want a second opinion, I'll be happy to give you one. | |
| looking for a stand mount speaker to match a s/s int amp. Picking speakers to match your amp? Isn't that sorta like picking out a car to match the license plate holder screws? | |
| What makes an expensive speaker expensive The speaker manufacturers build pricing model into their design. They charge whatever the they can get [away with]. | |
| cable and interconnect advice? I use Herron Audio cables throughout my system. I never feel like I need an upgrade. Inexpensive and very effective. |
