First impression: Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp
SCM, I’ll be able to answer your question next week as I’m trading my VTPH-1mc for the VTPH-2a.  My understanding, though, is that the major improvements in the  VTPH-2a were to the MC side of things.

There’s a Herron VTPH-2a for sale right now on A’gon.  Check it out.

Infection.  My previous gear included an ARC LS-27 preamp; VTL TP 2.0 II phono stage; and VTL ST 150 amp.  I’m extremely happy with my Herron set up.  Somewhat reminds me of my Naim set up from 10 years ago with a tube flair.

Another vote for the Herron.  I bought a pre-loved VTPH-1a MC from Keith.  I loved it so much I sold all my gear and went to a  Herron VTSP-3a and the Herron M-1a monos.  I also had money left over which helped pay the tax man.   
Mono Blocks on a Budget, is it possible?
There are a couple pairs of Herron monos for sale right now on Agon. Worth a look.
