Herron VTPH-2 Phono Preamp


I have a few questions for those of you who own/or have owned the Herron VTPH-2 Phono Preamp.

1) If you have sold it.....what was it that seemed to be lacking that made you decide to sell it? What did you move on to?

2) If you still have it, what are its most enduring traits that you love about it?

3) Has anyone compared it to any of the Klyne phono stages and what were your impressions of the comparison?

Thanks much!

The best sound quality of a Herron VTPH-2 is that it has no sound. It just passes the music to the pre-amp. IMO, there is no better phono stage available at any price.
ATOC9MLII should be a spectacular performer on the Herron phono stage. IIRC, it is the cartridge that Keith Herron uses to voice his equipment.

And yes, the VTSP-3 r02 and the latest version of the amps are wonderful. I was lucky enough to get that preamp just as the latest rev was being released and have a pair of latest mods of the amps.
