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

I've had the VTPH-2 for about 4 years, and can't think of any reason I would want to replace it. It is just plain great. Keith recently upgraded mine to VTPH-2a spec and I don't think you can find anyone better to deal with for support and service. I'm about to take delivery on a big speaker upgrade and I have no doubt that will just make the Herron sound that much better. If there is a better phonostage out there it has to cost vastly more. Others in the range just don't stack up.

@jhajeski...WHen I asked Keith Herron about that he told me that every aspect of the phonostage is improved. He didn't provide specifics. As for cost you should contact him about that, not me. I live 10 miles from him, so dropped my unit off at his place and picked it up again when he completed the work. He didn't have to deal with inbound and outbound shipping for me, so I'm pretty sure he factored that into my cost.

I listen to jazz and classical, but also a bit of rock from time to time. There is absolutely no lack of of anything on the VTPH-2 (or 2a) for any kind of music. It has plenty of PRaT, musicality, bite and is the best presentation of all kinds of music that I have experienced with any phonostage on my system. It is certainly genre-neutral as far as I can tell.
