The Conrad Johnson Premier 350: Revisited
I second your review as I had owned 2 in the past! The only issue with it is that it has very high input sensitivity and gain which will create hissing sound with the wrong pre-amp. Some older versions may have slight humming near close. I was usi...

Sub-woofer fast enough for Horns?
Sorry guys, my horn is Cessaro Chopin. Their smallest model. I think it goes down to around 30Hz on paper. I am very happy with most music but not enough for electronic and heavy rock. I had Thiels 3.6 before and I think the Thiels has stronger bass.

Herron VTPH2 questions?

Lyra Titan i - in focus?
It happened that I also have Titan i and SME V. but I also have TW 10.5 with my Raven 2. To me, the Titan is matched better with TW arm which they both sound detailed and neutral. I found SME V match better with carts that also have an emphases on...
