Herron VTSP-3A

Hey guys, I just got this preamp in my system and have only used it for 5 hours. However, I don't have to wait for burn in or more evaluation time to tell this compenent is absolutley outstanding. The VTSP-3A is the new version and it has over 50 changes from the VTSP-3. I got my system sounding really good before the arrival of the Herron, but the Herron has really brought my system to life. Heck, the VTSP-3A has had the most postive impact on about every aspect of sound in my system than any other electonic compenent I have ever bought. I feel like the Herron is letting me hear the potential of everything else in my system. I thought I would make this post since I'm not sure if a lot of people know about Herron. If someone is in the market for a top of the line preamp, they may want to at least consider this one. For the record, I have no affliation with the company, I'm just a VERY happy owner.

Guys,

I changed the stock fuses to Hi-FI gold tuning fuses on the power mains for pre and amps and boy did it make a difference. I'm shocked by the increase in bass not to mention sharper more defined images, deeper soundstage and lower floor noise. My next step will be to replace the main fuses on the grid with the new supreme fuses. This $150 change is far superior to $500 power cord change.

Received my VTSP 3A last night, cold out of the box and all I can say is WOW! Rich, dynamic with you can almost grab images. You can almost feel the emotions of the Violin and Cello player in "You raise me up" track. I definitely feel like I've been transported and loving it and I have many more hours of play before the unit is at its best.

Kudos to Keith at Herron for his dedication to music and his devotion in designing audio playback components that captures the original performance.

I can't wait to get the kids in bed tonight for more therapy sessions :o)

Kclone,

By pushing the phono button on the unit for a few seconds will switch the unit from low to high or vise versa.
