Herron VTPH-2 Phono Preamp

I have a few questions for those of you who own/or have owned the Herron VTPH-2 Phono Preamp.

1) If you have sold it.....what was it that seemed to be lacking that made you decide to sell it? What did you move on to?

2) If you still have it, what are its most enduring traits that you love about it?

3) Has anyone compared it to any of the Klyne phono stages and what were your impressions of the comparison?

Thanks much!

When I ordered my VTPH-2 from Keith early last year, he in fact sent me 4 x 12ax7's and 3 x 13at7's. So it's up to me to try out which works best in my system.

He did ask me the input impedance of my amp. He will recommend based on the value.

Hi everyone,
Is anyone using the VTPH2 to drive a headphone amp? If so what one? I am looking to add a headphone amp and LCD-3 to my system.

Dear Stereosforgeeks,
You would need to stipulate the input impedance of your headphone amplifier.

Czbbcl I'm pretty sure you can switch the tubes yourself for different gain. I have done it and noticed no ill effects.
I'm using a Lyra Delos and the combo is rich and detailed.

Lewm,

I dont have a headphone amplifier yet. I have heard good things about Audio gd Master 9, Schiit Ragnarok, Headamp GSX mk2, etc... for the LCD3s. I was curious if anyone had any specific experience with a headphone amp combo that will go well with the VTPH2. Id like to keep the great characteristics of the VTPH2 apparent.

Would you do tube/SS or combo?

Thanks
