First impression: Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp
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 ... 
First impression: Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp
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... 
First impression: Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp
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... 
Finally took the Bryston 4B Cubed plunge
I've read a great deal about how Bryston gets things right and it's almost unanimous. With my Bryston CD player and now the 4B Cubed, I'm singing in that same choir. I'm fond of the sound that my Focal speakers produce, but I'd love to hear what B...
