Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar?

I think VTPH-2A would be a huge improvement over the Parasound Jr. It easily bested any solid state phono pre I've tried, be it op-amp or discrete. It is an end of journey piece, IMO.

I am reminded of the great movie, “Manchurian Candidate”. Were you guys all prisoners of war in Korea, together with Keith Herron, by any chance?

I was asking a real question. I have seen so many raves I might consider the purchase, but I would like to understand the comparison

I've had the VTPH-2 for about 4 years, and can't think of any reason I would want to replace it. It is just plain great. Keith recently upgraded mine to VTPH-2a spec and I don't think you can find anyone better to deal with for support and service. I'm about to take delivery on a big speaker upgrade and I have no doubt that will just make the Herron sound that much better. If there is a better phonostage out there it has to cost vastly more. Others in the range just don't stack up.
