Herron Audio...Still in business

@soix ​​​​​​ almost every high end audio component made can be hard to find proprietary components like circuit boards even if the company is still in business. These companies don't generally keep a stock of this stuff for discontinued items very long.  You could just buy point to point wired tube equipment, then no problem finding all the electronic parts needed to fix it.

Keith may be retired now. Last I looked, his website is gone. I have Herron M2 monoblock amps, Herron vtsp-360 preamp, and the VTPH-2A phono stage. All his gear is clean, detailed, and neutral sounding. If you come across any of his gear, it’s a good value. The vtsp-360 replaced the LS100 I bought from you. I loved the LS100 but the vtsp-360 was noticeably better. 

His website domain was allowed to expire. By all accounts, he can still be contacted directly. I have no concerns about the longevity of his phono stage, either way. If I had an aging SS power amplifier with OOP transistors (quite common), that would be something to be concerned about.

I just find it funny a marketplace that still buys Carver gear is questioning the value of Herron gear lol.

Keith told me that one of his design goals is to build gear that will not come back for repairs. That's why all his amps are SS.

I have had Herron gear for years (around 2002).  I have only changed to upgrade to the current models.  I have never had any kind of a failure and will keep my 360 reference pre amp and M2 amps for the long haul.
