| BUY Bryston!!!!! My BCD-3 had a display failure a few months ago (roughly one year old). It ended up in Canada via Vermont for repairs. The diagnosis was a bad solder joint easily repairable. Instead of a repair, I inquired about swapping out the original green di... | |
| First impression: Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp djohn,I've had the VTPH-2A for about six months now and have not been disappointed one bit. Keith Herron must have been divinely inspired when he came up with this beast. If he retires, the listening community will be at a loss. His skill, talent,... | |
| Is it time to just quit? Elizabeth,Few people on this forum deserve the respect that you've earned. Perhaps it's time to simply enjoy the music, but not walk away from this community. Your decency, knowledge, and experience would certainly be missed by ME and I simply won... | |
| On the fence about Vinyl need a good phono stage for A/B testing If you're thinking about the Parasound JC3+, go with a slightly more costly option: Herron VTPH-2A. I've had a half dozen phono stages over the past ten years including the Parasound and Herron puts them all to shame. With a properly set up TT, th... | |
| What do you LIKE BEST about your current audio system? What do I like the most? Let me think . . . . . I could start with the Bryston 4B3 amp that you convinced me would be worth an audition. It is a permanent part of my sound system! Along with the Herron VTPH-2a phono pre that I purchased soon after... | |
| Looking for straight talk on Focal Sopra No 2 speakers toneranger58,Thanks, your reply helps. | |
| Looking for straight talk on Focal Sopra No 2 speakers Thanks ejr1953. The MD452 is an amp on steroids and if there were any problems with the Sopras, your amp certainly would have made those flaws apparent. | |
| Looking for straight talk on Focal Sopra No 2 speakers mboldda1,I'm in northern Michigan. The closest metro area would be Ann Arbor/Detroit, about 5 hours one way by car. | |
| Looking for straight talk on Focal Sopra No 2 speakers Thanks briands78 and gmercer. I started the thread voicing my concerns about reliability and that really is my biggest concern with new Focal speakers. Again, I enjoy the "house sound" of Focal, but can't spend $15K on a pair of Sopra No 2s just t... | |
| First impression: Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp George,Thanks for the feedback that I requested. I too did a little bit of experimentation. Hooked up my Goldpoint SA1 to the VTPH-2A then directly into the back of my Bryston 4B3. Kicked up the gain on my amp to 29dB and nothing (just kidding). A... | |
| First impression: Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp bpoletti,I've picked up your comments about the VTPH-2A on other threads. I've got your back buddy, I've got your back. It's a bad-ass extraordinaire. | |
| First impression: Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp George,I found my Goldpoint and it's a 24 step SA1. If memory serves me correctly, I bought the "standard Issue" which means it's impedance is 25K ohms. I'll run the VTPH-2A through it this weekend direct line to my Bryston 4B Cubed and give an up... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart I recently started a thread concerning the Herron VTPH-2A that I purchased and would like to interject my two cents again . I use an AT-ART9 cart and Avid Diva II SP TT with an SME 309 arm. I've listened to vinyl for more than 50 years and have n... | |
| First impression: Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp No problem Al. I'm having a great time being a bystander as you and George go back and forth. It's entertaining and somewhat educational. I'm pleased to have started a thread where folks can have a hearty, decent conversation. | |
| First impression: Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp Thanks celander, I'm enjoying it immensely. I'm only two days into the VTPH-2A experience and 100% sold out on the product. I'm 64 and have to admit that some of the vinyl I've listened to the past few days has made me as giddy as a kid. At least ... |
