Has anyone heard both of these phono preamps? I'd love to hear impressions. I've had the Herron so I know what it sounds like so I'm using it as a point of reference, but I'm thinking of a non tube phone preamp. Cartridge is a Decca London Super Gold so I'm using MM only.
It doesn't have to be all tubes vs all SS. There are several hybrid designs that use discrete transistors in conjunction with tubes to achieve high gain with low noise. Manley makes two such phono stages, but there are more.
