Herron VTPH-2A vs Rogue Ares Magnum
@mulveling ...please share your feedback on your newly purchased Herron VTPH-2a.  [I'm sure you have other things to do, but maybe you could pen a little review for us, lol].   I, like yourself, have been fascinated by the consistently positive re... 
Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar?
@dwette....what're the specifics around the "2a" version/upgrade on the VTPH-2?  Also, what was the cost for the upgrade?

@celander...Not sure of the exact date, but it wasn't anytime recent.   I submitted my interest pretty early in the process.   I'll see if I can find the original email or confirmation.  Jim

Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3

SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?)
My VPI has served me well for years, since I upgraded from my old Ariston deck...very happy with it.  Good luck.   
Need help with Subwoofer upgrade
Please don't get sidetracked with counting watts.  Equating watts to dollars in your post is a mistake.   My REL sub is one of the most instantly effective components I've ever purchased, period.    
Phono Preamps with "balls" ?
Is (rauliruegas) always as "all-knowing" as this?
