Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar?

Echo bpoletti--the VTPH-2 gets all the (well deserved) praise but Keith's linestage (I own the VTSP-3A (R03) is right up there in my view. I ran through a bunch of linestages from ARC and Modwright before finding my way to the Herron and it is simply awesome. It shares all the same qualities of the phonostage in spades--and is the quietest linestage I've ever had in my system. Super musical with incredible pace, rhythm and timing and a very clean, yet organic sound. Highly recommended!! 

I think VTPH-2A would be a huge improvement over the Parasound Jr. It easily bested any solid state phono pre I've tried, be it op-amp or discrete. It is an end of journey piece, IMO.

I am reminded of the great movie, “Manchurian Candidate”. Were you guys all prisoners of war in Korea, together with Keith Herron, by any chance?

I was asking a real question. I have seen so many raves I might consider the purchase, but I would like to understand the comparison
