Lak's Music Room 2014Wow! Spectacular system, just stumbled upon it after your comment on mine. I've entertained making the leap to vinyl, and the Teres/Zyx would be my dream combo. How are the Maggies working out? posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |

All In One RoomThanks for viewing, Devilboy. My appreciation for SR remains strong - they are special cables that have as their hallmark a wonderful sense of space. But when I added my newest components (the Brys... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |

My StereosetHi Vergeerr. Very noce setup you have. Consider upgrading the Herron to VTSP-3, it makes a substantial improvement in body and impact, while keeping all the virtues of the Herron. Curious what you ... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |
All In One RoomThanks Davt. In my setup, the Herron works very well with the Classe amps. And as you've noted with your Belles, the real secret is in the tubes. I have a set of RCA/Siemens A-frames that I love. I... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |
