Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar?


Hi just reaching out to get any input/feedback  on the Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp.   While I'm happy with my existing Parasound JC3 Jr., someone recommended the Herron, so I got intrigued, as I've never run into, nor listened to, any Herron products.  
Thks, Jim

I've never tried to connect a low output cart and a high output cart to my VTPH-2A at the same time. I don't know if the manufacturer recommends this or not. 

That's a good question for Keith Herron.   

In my opinion....

The VTPH-2A is the best phono stage I've ever hear.  And I've heard most all the cost-no-object phono stages.  Aside from its very accurate and exquisite sound it is very flexible being able to handle high-output and low-output cartridges.  It also is capable of externally selecting moving coil cartridge loading by using RCA plugs rather than soldering resistors inside the case. 

And the free extra benefit that comes with the VTPH-2A is that it includes Keith Herron.  He provides great customer service.  Arguably the best in the business.  
@lewm You haven't been to my house or you would know that it's only red wine that is consumed when listening.  Maybe you should make some arrangements to have that sampling.  ;-)  

Is there ANYTHING to say BAD about the Herron VTPH-2A?  Doesn't ANYONE have ANYTHING to say BAD about ANY Herron Audio electronics?  As good as the phono stage is, the amps and preamps just don't get the proper attention.
