Herron VTSP-3A


Hey guys, I just got this preamp in my system and have only used it for 5 hours. However, I don't have to wait for burn in or more evaluation time to tell this compenent is absolutley outstanding. The VTSP-3A is the new version and it has over 50 changes from the VTSP-3. I got my system sounding really good before the arrival of the Herron, but the Herron has really brought my system to life. Heck, the VTSP-3A has had the most postive impact on about every aspect of sound in my system than any other electonic compenent I have ever bought. I feel like the Herron is letting me hear the potential of everything else in my system. I thought I would make this post since I'm not sure if a lot of people know about Herron. If someone is in the market for a top of the line preamp, they may want to at least consider this one. For the record, I have no affliation with the company, I'm just a VERY happy owner.

I have the same sssss but I have had that on every piece of equipment I've owned. I chock it up to dirty power even with a power conditioner.
I apologize for all of the mispellings in my prior post. In the future I will proof read my posts before hitting the submit key. Oh well....

Thanks for the reply. I tried low-gain mod and it is almost as quiet as SS so it may not be the tubes. Mine 3A is brand new only 2 weeks old! I think it goes down to power supply or a mismatch with gain input from power amp. I have same problem with Conrad Johnson P350 and VTSP-2 but there is no low gain option to play with. Going back to 3A, it does have a much fuller body tan 2 and I have to madke do treatments to neutralise the bass. Anyway, my system has raised to another level and I have since been listening to it everynight, this is something I have not done for years!
