The hallmark JRDG musicality cannot be slotted into a simple category, be it solid state (SS), tube-like, or otherwise. It brings together power, staging, imaging, and control, with an incredible extension devoid of hotspots and suck outs, subtlety and transparency, into a seamless musical whole, devoid of grain but filled with emotion.
This is why lovers of music of all traditions, and from all over the world, have embraced the sensuous refinement of the award winning JRDG sound.

When you’ve heard it done right, you’ll know immediately.
Correct presentation in time is the key element to transparency. We experience this every day in our listening to the un-amplified world around us.
Transparency is so much more than just low distortion. It is that rare and special ability of an exceptional piece of audio equipment to get out of the way of the performance and allow the listener to really hear the expression, emotion, and subtlety of each individual performer.
The touch and feel of each instrument becomes profoundly clear - the foundation and the soul of the performance. There should be no equipment bias as to the type of music be it contemporary, jazz, rock, classical, and other forms of musical expression. Herron correctly presents to the listener music as performed and recorded!
Herron offers Line stage tube pre amplifier model VTSP 360, tube phono stage VTPH 2A and mono power M2 solid state amplifiers. See link for more product info.

We know that true hi-fi is about being able to reproduce the magic of a performance. It’s about experiencing music just as the artist intended, even in the cinema. It is music that delivers the ecstasy and agony of a film’s story. To Marantz, perfect specifications and technical accomplishment count for nothing unless a product can unlock the power, the excitement and the emotion of music.

Project Audio
Heinz Lichtenegger, one of Austria's leading distributors of high-end audio brands, founded PRO-JECT AUDIO SYSTEMS in early 1990. As an audiophile and music lover, Heinz 's interest in turntables and analog playback turned into a passion to create turntables, tonearms and analog accessories that were reasonably priced yet that were uncompromised both mechanically and sonically. This passion is what led him and his like-minded colleagues to launch a new business venture named PRO-JECT AUDIO SYSTEMS.
http://www.project-audio.com/Rega Research Limited
Rega’s philosophy is to make high quality products at sensible prices, as a means of reproducing music as faithfully as possible.
We are committed to the design and development of new and existing products, both in hi-fi and other areas, that will perpetuate Rega’s values of quality and value for money.
By 1983 the time had come for Rega to design and build its own tonearm and so the world famous RB300 (Rega Britain) was born. The high pressure die-cast silicon alloy tube alone took two years to develop alongside the UK's largest die-cast company. The work and our casting subsequently won us an "international casting award" from America for what is still considered today to be a technically impossible casting.
