best phono stage under 10k

My only problem with Herron is that Keith is getting on in age and it is a very small company. What happens when he passes?

Why then instead of only slightly depreciating they go up in price. Like all fine art when people realize there just won't ever be any more.

That's why I said call Keith Herron. The Herron does have tubes but its not tubes that are the problem, the problem is RFI, most of which gets in somewhere along between the cartridge and the end where the phono leads connect to the phono stage. Somewhere along in there, more often than not.
I don't know that I'd say the Herron is particularly warm, but mine sure sounds awfully good. Don't discount it just for being so cheap either. If you can have $10k performance for $3k what's not to like?

Give Keith Herron a call.
