| I just returned my second defective Manley Chinook I have a Herron VTPH-2 and it has worked flawlessly with my Cary SLI-80F1 and now with my Pass XP-20, XA100.5 combination. I use NOS Telefunkens in it which I feel was an improvement over the stock tubes. Before purchasing it I compared to an Audi... | |

| Any Herron VTPH-2 Phono Stage Owners out there? I currently have the VTPH-2 and like it very much I use NOS Telefunkens in it. I compared it to an ARC reference phono stage at the time and felt the Herron was very competitive with the ARC. Chuck | |
| 6922's Replaced......It was time. Hi QuincyGlad you like them. I thought they were one of the better/best current production 6922 tubes. They are not inexpensive when compared to most current production 6922 tubes but certainly more affordable than most NOS tubes.Chuck | |

| vpi scout 1.1 poping noise through speakers Write to VPI they will send you a new Capacitor to rectify the issue. Easy to install yourself. | |
| Cary or Conrad Johnson phono preamp? The reason I recommended the Herron VTPH-2 is because I directly compared it to the Audio Research reference phono stage at the time. The Herron was very close in performance and the AR was a $10K reference level phono stage. So I bought the Herro... | |
| what do i power my thiel 3.6 with They are a great speaker that can be purchased cheaply. Unfortunately they need high quality electronics along with high power to sound their best. At least that has been my personnel experience with them. | |
