Anyone compare Herron VTSP-3a and Lamm L2.1 Deluxe?

I've heard neither! But I have the Herron phono stage. And I talked on the phone quite a bit with Keith Herron, both before and after the sale. More than enough to say with Herron you are getting Keith Herron, which is priceless, which you will know within minutes of talking with him the man is a rock. No wonder his gear is so highly regarded, and hardly ever comes up on the used market, in spite of there being quite a bit of it out there.

Not to mention the VTSP-3A just looks a whole heck of a lot better.

If you're down to just these two then its time to give Keith a call. That's what I would do.

I never listened to Lamm but I have a Herron line and phono stage.
Both were upgraded to current specs a couple months back and Keith shipped it back in a and gave me extra new tubes .
He is very knowledgeable and the upgrades sound very nice .

sorry for the error in above post , Keith shipped it back in a week .

I see you have the Herron VTSP in your system, so you already know the house sound of the Herron to some degree. Are you looking @ the Lamm as a change all choice? There is a reasonably good deal on the Lamm LL2.1 deluxe on Agon right now and I have a source where I bought mine new that was a steal. Like you I haven't compared the two choices you list but did go thru some very nice preamps to get to the Lamm and it is and will remain the center piece of my system. Good luck
