Herron VTPH-2A, Herron VTSP-360 and Herron M2


Has anyone heard the newly-updated Herron products, the VTPH-2A, VTSP-360 and M2? If so, how have these new models changed or improved upon their predecessors? Keith Herron is just about the best guy in all of hi fi and I hope that these upgraded models improve upon his already great products.

Thanks.

Keith Herron describes the VTSP-360 as both fuller and more detailed than the VTSP-3A (r03) and that seems right, though I don’t have them side by side for comparison. 
The VTSP-360 is as Keith describes after listening to 03 and 360.  I also think the  soundstage elements are improved.

I've had the VTSP-3A (r03) for about two years now if memory serves correct. I was curious about the microZotl pre... it could not compete. Even with NOS RCA from Andy.....

 

If I choose to get a new linestage. It will be the next iteration from Herron. 
 

My only gripe. It looks like a cable box with no ability to completely turn off all led's.... other than that no complaints.  I asked Keith about the possibility of a kill switch to completely black out while in operation. He feels that would interfere with the signal path, hinder the SQ... First world problems. I'll manage! 

Hey--former VTSP-3A (R03) owner now Reference (360) owner. Both units are great, but the Reference really takes things to another level sonically. A major understatement. You can dim and turn off the volume display from the remote which is the most significant light source however not the tiny function lights. That said, during a normal listening session only one small LED is lit up, two when I hit mute to change sides or talk to my family.

I have the VTSP-360 ESP/REF and one of the last VTPH-2A phono stages that Keith made.  My M1 amps are on their way back from Keith after some "updates". They had already been upgraded to a FET front end and he has some additional tweaks he's doing to them. He makes this stuff to listen to himself and is somewhat tight lipped about what exactly gets "updated" or "upgraded" from one model to the next, other than describing the sound you should expect to hear.  I change gear more often than most probably, but the only thing that I see changing in that part of the chain in the future is possibly the amps.  His tube gear is fantastic.
