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

There are MANY threads from years gone by that are still very applicable today and get resurrected for good reason.

I was interested in the Herron, rather than start a new thread, I did a search, saw this one and brought it back into the fray.

It is not uncommon.

Chakster.

Be interesting to see what you find on that output coupling cap if you go that route.

Still on the fence on the Herron.

@uberwaltz again I'll ask why not just get the matching power supply for about 850? It will give you more detail, depth and bass definition. This only if you still find the PH10 still to your liking.

Reports from two members who have the matching ps to the ph10 is that it really has not helped out over much.
Not in the bass or details department.
At least not $850 worth by all accounts.

And going back a couple of years I was set on a tube phono, just was not really going to match up well with then present amp.
Now I am pretty much wide open on choice, and still have a hankering to try out a tube phono.

Do not mistake me, the ph10 is still an excellent phono and I love its flexibility.

However I have moved away from exotic lomc carts tbh and likely just going to,play with various mm and vintage mm carts so do not truly need the gain the ph10 has available.

And there is that tube itch which I feel compelled to scratch......
