My Herron VTSP-1A, as well as my former Air Tight ATC-1, and my former Supratek Syrah. All fantastically musical and transparent, with great life and also fantastic frequency extension. Also the Herron is the quietest tubed preamp I've ever heard....

WILSON PICKETT- R.I.P.
A momentous loss. 
Listening Fatique- componet or speaker issue.
