Hi all, hope all is well with everyone. Just to let you know that we are having our 14th Annual Sale starting today. Virtually everything has been marked down...
I have a primarily vintage tube system: Van Alstin Super PAS 3 preamp, Dynaco St-35 power amp (which makes an excellent headphone amp btw), and a Trio tuner...
My guess is that your cats are playing some sneaky trick on you. You could try changing their cat food. I find that Hill's c/d works wonders. Robert Brown...
Perhaps I don't have the dry sense of humor that some people do, but cat food post is worthless.. Sorry, a.m. ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
How quickly after you close the door does the bass improve? If it's right away, then perhaps the problem is microphonics, in which case closing the doors...
I have my two channel system set up on a dedicated isolated ground circuit which works quite well keeping the system nice and quiet. I like to run an output...
I know this problem as do you, the ground differential between the two systems. The ground problem may be coming from either the respective grounds of the two...
If the ground loop is coming from your cable box, one option may be the Mondial MAGIC. See this link http://www.onhometheater.com/product/20030401.htm This...
You should only have to lift the ground on your tape output. I went to Kromer radio on Bathurst and bought an RCA ground lifter for $14 that did the trick when...
Did the thing you bought at Kromer change the sound much? Is it something like this? http://www.minidisc-canada.com/shopexd.asp?id=51 Thanks. ... for ... sales...
Hi Greg, It kind of looked like that and is about the same size with the same plugs, but instead of a nice box, all the "guts" are held in heatshrink or some...
Thanks for looking into it for me. For anyone interested, here is the result (for now) of my ground loop issue. A couple of people suggested that it was the TV...
Anthony, thanks for your detailed reply. The improvement in sound is immediate and I was also thinking microphonics could be an issue as there is a subwoofer...
I'm happy to help, Rob - it's a fun subject, and easy for me to get (too) verbose real quick :) I like the idea of audiophile furniture that doesn't look...

I think you're right; granite is best used for its mass in conjunction with a layer of vibration absorption like sand or bearings. Corian (fake granite...
I think that these isolation devices would have the biggest bang for the buck (in diminishing order): turntables cd players dvd players amps & preamps... not...
Hi there, I just recently purchased (arriving today!! )a slightly used Herron VTPH-1MC Plus phono stage to upgrade my current phono state - the mighty Lehmann...
Congratulations. The Herron sounds like a superb piece. But, I suggest you check the link you provided for a photos of your system. David ... From: Aleksandar...

That makes sense, since tuners are amplifying a very small signal, with which microphonic noise can be significant. Anthony ... From: Dr. Jeffrey Rabin...
Have you hear the moving magnet version of the Herron. Would it be worth it. I'm aking because also have a Black Cube and have a turntable with a Clearaudio...
Alex, This is why I recently asked you about your Herron VTSP-1. I also picked up a VTPH-1MC (plus model which is non inverting) and have heard that there is...
Hi Greg, yes, there are quite a few VTPH-1s coming on the market, check on audiogon! The unit I got was one of the last ones before the 2 came out. Yes,...
Hi Andre, no, I have not heard the MM version of the Herron. I don't own a MM cartridge, so it did not come into play. I think that going to a MM version...
Hi there, recently, I have been getting ready for a garage sale. One of the things that my wife wanted to get rid of is a Sony DVD receiver. Upon closer ...
