Herron VTPH-2A discontinued


I came across a post recently http://www.vpiforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=19187
and confirmed it through the Herron website.  Bummer.

Many discontinued equipment are on the market for decades after, his phono stages will be available used and if the demamd is so high the price will be higher or vice versa. There must be another person who can service them just like any other piece of high-end audio equipment. Life goes on. 
Yeah, I tried this thread before posting my unit online but seems my post was flagged so it did not go through
Longshot here, but are there any forum member that own a VTPH with a silver faceplate that might want to trade me for my black faceplate? I was lucky enough to find another unit (after reluctantly selling my first earlier this year) and the price was so good, just wish it was silver to match everything else. Already tried Keith, no leftover parts.

I didn't know the VTPH-1 had a silver faceplate.  I thought you could get them in any color as long as it was black.  

I saw the other VTPH-2 faceplates, but ended up choosing the brushed silver.  Matches my VTSP-3A (r03).  My M1 amps all have black faceplates.
