First impression: Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp
Thanks celander, I'm enjoying it immensely. I'm only two days into the VTPH-2A experience and 100% sold out on the product. I'm 64 and have to admit that some of the vinyl I've listened to the past few days has made me as giddy as a kid. At least ...

salectric,I owned a Vincent and two Graham Slee phono preamps as well. They were disappointments, especially for the money. Until I purchased the VTPH-2A, the best bang for the buck phono preamp that I've owned was the Neo 310LP.

georgehifi,Before I start rewiring my system, I'll probably set the gain as low as it will go on my preamp (Parasound JC 2 BP) and kick the gain up on my 4B Cubed. A fun adventure for tomorrow. As far as the Goldpoint is concerned, I haven't used ...

georgehifi,I would be excited to read about how the Herron performs in a truly high end system. My system is almost a starter kit in comparison. I'm glad that you brought up the Lightspeed. I have a Goldpoint floating around that I haven't used in...

dweller,I have not heard the Chinook, although it's my understanding that it is quite good as well. My last two preamps were both solid state, the Parasound JC 3+ and Simaudio Moon Neo 310LP. The JC 3+ was new and returned after a few week auditio... 
Finally took the Bryston 4B Cubed plunge
I purchased the 4B3 right after the JC5 was released for sale. I thought about purchasing the JC5, or at least auditioning, then I nixed the thought. It's marketed as two JC1 monoblocks under one roof for 2/3 the cost . . . . . or something like t...

jafant,Now I await your update on the 4B3. =)I speak for myself and hopefully elizabeth as well when I say, "try it, you'll like it."

I just haven't gotten around to selling the A21 yet. That's the only reason I still have it.  
Finally took the Bryston 4B Cubed plunge
I wanted to chime back in one more time. I now have hundreds of hours of use on the 4B3 since I started this thread. All that's left to say is WOW! The amp is crazy good. I briefly went back to my Parasound A21 for a comparison now that the 4B3 is... 
Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp owner's advice.
dodgealum,It's good to know that no owners have stepped forward to complain about the VTPH-2A. In a time where people gripe about every little thing, that says a lot. It costs more than I paid for my entire first stereo system 45 years ago, but I'...

Thanks arsh,You obviously own the VTPH-2A. If you'd like to offer up more on your experience with the unit, I'm all ears (pun intended). I do want to be a little surprised the first time I put it to use, but like a kid seeing unopened  Christmas  ... 
Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp owner's advice.
It's replacing a Simaudio Moon Neo 310LP. I have no gripes against the unit that I'm using, I'm just hoping to experience a few of the finer things while I'm still alive. I'm thinking that the VTPH-2A along with my AT-ART9 MC cartridge should qual...

Thanks tooblue,I'm a little excited about getting the unit. The reviews are as good as I've ever seen on any audio component. I may like it even if it's awful. The power of suggestion  =)

Listen to elizabeth. Her advice is as good as it gets. I've listened! 
please help! which turntable , michell gyro se ,, pro ject rpm 10 carbon ,, avid diva 2 ?
I have to plug my Avid Diva II SP. It's outfitted with an SME 309 tonearm (table comes ready fit for SME) and sits atop a 3" thick maple block. I can't brag it up enough. I am completely confident that the table is audibly inert to anything that i...
