The Herron & Modwright are both great. But I would choose the Herron. One reason IMHO is that the Herron has a FET first stage for MC followed by a tube second stage for the MC (the tubes also act as the only stage for MM). So, you can bypass the FETs when using an MC cart by using a separate SUT into the Herron's tube only MM stage. However, the Modwright has a
tube/JFET hybrid first stage for MC followed by constant current source loading for the second stage. There does not seem to be a way to bypass the JFETs in the Modwright. YMMV.
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
