I have used both of their products, just not the phono stages. The after purchase service is a big deal for me. I have had some updates to my amps and preamp by Keith. Very reasonable and responsive to any questions. Dan is the same way. He always answers questions and is very helpful. From a service perspective, you can't go wrong with these gentleman.
Herron VTPH-2A vs ModWright PH 9.0
Hello, I was wondering if anyone has compared the Herron VTPH-2A to the ModWright PH 9.0? Unfortunately, I am not able to audition the two in person but am very curious how they compare. Their price is similar, Herron - $3650; ModWright - $2900/$3200 (with XLR connections). They also use a different sets of tubes, Herron - two 12AX7, three 12AT7; ModWright - two 6C45, two 6DJ8. I've heard 6C45 tubes are extremely quiet but, again, I haven't heard them in person. Appreciate anyone who can offer their experience with either product and how they compare in sound. Thank you!
