Curl or Pass

Am looking to upgrade my phono preamp.  Interested in the Pass Labs XP-15 and the Parasound JC3+.

Any opinions as to which is better?

Both about the same price used, about $2,300.

I have a Well Tempered Reference TT with a rebuilt Lyra Clavis, very low output MC.

On another note, I’ve never heard of Herron or Tom Evans.  Where could I find some reviews of those?

Wow.  You're planning to spend a couple thousand dollars and you haven't even done any basic research into alternatives?  

Do a basic search on "Herron Audio" and "Herron Audio reviews" to get a little background.  Herron Phono stages are legend in the vinyl community.
