PS Audio BHK Pre Amp and Herron VTPH-2A Phono Pre Users

I just purchased a PS Audio BHK pre amp.  I am moving to the BHK because I need to start using XLR cables for long runs to my power amp.  

When using the BHK with the Herron VTPH-2A phono pre, the sound is flat - for want of a better word.  When I use my Herron VTSP-3A(r02) pre amp with the VTPH-2A, the sound is wonderful.  I'm new to tubes.  I think I have an impedance issue.  Anyone else using a Herron phono pre with a BHK pre amp having or had a similar experience.

I understand, give Keith a call. He may have something up his sleeve including some loading changes

My cathode follower McIntosh Mx-110 drive 25’ rca w easy in a moderate RFI environment- suggest you try that. While I don’t have Herron preamp, I have his phono - excellent gear. A low capacitance Blue Jean cable built on Belden wire should allow you to test a 15’ run for about $75
if I was in Seattle I would loan you mine

How do you know your Herron won’t properly drive a long length of SE cable ?
