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 Herron is a very musical phono-stage yet very detailed and quiet . Also it is flexible with the loading resistors and is a very clean and well laid out design. I compared it to an Audio Research reference model of a couple of years ago and the Herron was very comparable but at 1/3 of the price.

I have the 69 dB gain model and No it can not be switched without sending the unit into Keith.

Because of the sonic qualities of the VTPH-2 I am seriously considering going with his VTSP-3Ar02 and M1A's.

Doggealum do you still have the modwright amp? I am looking at either Keith's equipment or Pass and possibly conrad johnson if I decide to go with a tubed amp; although my wife hates tubes.
