Try to find a used Herron Audio VTPH-1mc. Maybe even call Herron to see if they have had any trade-ins. In my opinion, a used Herron VTPH-1mc is better than any other used or new $2K phono stage. Any. Better than any $3,000 used or new phono stage.
Help with phono amp upgrade
Hello: Need some input from those in the know. My current system:
Mesa Tigris tube amp
ifi phono pre
Sansui 2050c ( older belt drive table) with Hana SL cartridge.
question: i feel as though the IFi is very quiet and clear, but at times a bit harsh. I’m thinking of buying
a used Sutherland PhD to improve the harshness in my system. I’ve got around 2k to spend. Yes, i know the table is old, but it sounds sweet and haven’t jumped at a new one... yet...
thanks ,
