I've had the VTSP-3A (r03) for about two years now if memory serves correct. I was curious about the microZotl pre... it could not compete. Even with NOS RCA from Andy.....
If I choose to get a new linestage. It will be the next iteration from Herron.
My only gripe. It looks like a cable box with no ability to completely turn off all led's.... other than that no complaints. I asked Keith about the possibility of a kill switch to completely black out while in operation. He feels that would interfere with the signal path, hinder the SQ... First world problems. I'll manage!
