| Did I just make my audio system too sensitive after adding a Herron VTPH-2A preamp? @almarg You're correct, the AT-ML150 pF 100-200. I had it set to 100 pF on the Pro-Ject as well as the Herron. I'm strongly leaning towards a new cartridge. I'm looking at the ART9. No doubt the Herron exposes system shortcomings, but will also re... | |
| Did I just make my audio system too sensitive after adding a Herron VTPH-2A preamp? Thanks for all your responces...keep them coming.I will try a different cartridge. The ART9 looks like a decent one. I'll be looking for any additional recommendations on cartridges under ~2K. | |
| Did I just make my audio system too sensitive after adding a Herron VTPH-2A preamp? I forgot to add the cartridge is an AT-ML150/OCC. Time to figure where this noise is emanating from. | |
| What albums, in your opinion, sound unquestionably better on Vinyl rather than Digital? I'm partial to wax but I have to say 2 come to mind on a great sound set up:Kraftwerk - Computer WorldRush - 2112Of course everyone's perception will vary depending on what the album is playing through. | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) I'd love to hear the Ohm Walsh. Take a listen to the Bryston Model T, they will impress how dynamic and vivid they are. | |
| Files from a Harddrive to a DAC vs dedicated digital player? I agree with you. Specifically designed gear will sound better than a multi-functional one. Can you provide some examples where you found the improvement to be. Was it more revealing, more up front stage? Or more dynamic due to the digital player'... | |
| Cartridge or Pre Amp I'm not fluent in tube technology. I do know that my Pro-Ject Tube Box comes with ECC83 (12AX7).I'm all for upgrading the quality but how does your suggestion differ in sound dynamics compared to the ECC83 (12AX7)? | |
| Cartridge or Pre Amp Update:Subsonic filter was removed! I didn't notice that it was selected. I also increased it to 60k, resulting in a much sensitive and wider stage. Amplification volume was much more sensitive, which was my end goal. Thanks to everyone's input in... | |
| Cartridge or Pre Amp @jimf42 I totally agree. The sensitivity of my setup is such that media production is crucial. As with any high end systems, poor recordings will be amplified. | |
| Cartridge or Pre Amp @invictus005 Unfortunately I need a subsonic filter due to my systems dynamic nature...alas the Parasound JC3 lacks one. | |
| Cartridge or Pre Amp Thanks @chakster for the valuable information you provided. I'm all in for testing various components and hearing the results. Of course results may vary. I'd like to start out by testing the ATN170 / ATN180 styli, a high output MC.Testing various... | |
| Cartridge or Pre Amp @jollytinker Very nice cartridge! I was actually thinking of upgrading the the ART9. What phone stage are you running with it?@chakster I may also experiment with upgrading the stylus. | |
| Cartridge or Pre Amp My initial post has the incorrect link. This is the correct one: Pro-Ject Tube Box DS | |
| Cartridge or Pre Amp The current Tube Box DS has the ECC 83 tubes just like some of the higher priced tubed stages carry. I'm all for upgrading but I'm also aware of the diminishing returns on said upgrades. I'll triple check the DIP switches.http://www.project-audio.... | |
| Cartridge or Pre Amp Sorry for the incorrect link I provided. My cartridge is indeed the AT-ML150 OCC I don't mind spend the necessary $ to address/compliment my system. Hearing the details of your favorite track and jamming of a band in synergy is some of the best... |
