| better phono stage The Herron VTPH-2 is a tubed unit and as stated previously very quiet. Excellent detail but to my ears more importantly is the accuracy of the unit. I think it retails for around $3500.00 or so...You can go to the Herron Audio web-site for more in... | |
| better phono stage I have a Herron VTPH-2 running with my VPI Classic and it is simply an amazing phonstage; very detailed and quiet. And Keith Herron is as good as it gets to work with. Don't know how you could go wrong or even perhaps buy a better phono stage rega... | |
| Back to tubes? Any tubed preamp discussion must include conrad johnson. | |
| Phono preamp comparison: Herron vs. K&K 18K such a bargin I am sure it sounds great.Chuck | |
| Have you donated yet? Interesting; my son 16 yrs old loves vinyl better sounding (his words) than cd's , sacd's and certainly MP-3's. We have bought some Zeppeling, Floyd and Nirvana both reissues and original pressings. Plus he says my (our) TT looks bitchen (vpi clas... | |
| A good start on selecting cables? I went with Home Grown Audio DNA / X-32 and have never felt the need to change. I switched from Audioquest Volcano and Anaconda. The HGA cables are better than the Audioquest cabling they replaced. Much more revealing and natural. HGA offers a 30 ... | |
| opinions on favorite cartridge I use a benz micro wood sl on my VPI classic and I am very pleased with it. It is much better than the denon 103r it replaced. Phonostage is a Herron VTPH-2 also excellent.Chuck | |

| Phono preamp comparison: Herron vs. K&K Understand didn't realize there was that much of a difference cost wise. I have never heard the K&K but have read good things about it and I own the Herron. I am very satisfied with it as it is a fantastic sounding unit. Chuck | |
| Phono preamp comparison: Herron vs. K&K Doesn't the cost of the maxed out K&K get very close to the cost of the Herron VTPH-2. | |
| 45rpm pressing of Fleetwood Mac Rumours I have both copies (original release and the remaster) the 45 rpm remaster is better. | |
| Phono preamp comparison: Herron vs. K&K I know that this doesn't directly answer your question. But I have a VTPH-2 and it is extremely detailed and acurate. A simply stunning phono stage. Chuck | |
| Manual vs. Auto Bias I have had a cj tube amp required biasing using the lights mounted on the amp and now cary using a meter, both are easy. Although I guess I prefer to use a meter so I know exactly where the bias is set. Both amps required biasing and were not auto... | |
