HI Mike, I owned a Herron VTSP-2 for several years and had Keith up-grade it to the 3 early this year. The 3 is better in all parameters of sound and is probably the last pre-amp that I will ever own. I am sure that the mating of either with the Herron phono stage would be the way to go. I am a musician and I have never heard better accuracy of brass or woodwind sound before. Highly recommended.
Tube preamp needed for Herron M1 mono amps.
Speakers are Wilson Benesch Arc. 88db, 6 ohm. CD is a modified Jolida JD-100. I need a remote control for the preamp. I've been looking for a Herron preamp, but the latest model is a rarity to find used. Next is the ARC Reference MKII. I appreciate any input.
