Phono Preamp Tube Rush


Is there such a thing as a tube phono stage that doesn't have tube rush? Is it just an inherent weakness of that type of pre or is it some combination of cartridge gain and preamp gain? I went from a silent solid state ASR Basis Exclusive to a Herron VTPH-2A (new home with space limitations) and now I'm using a Hagerman Trumpet with my Decca London Super Gold. Both the Herron and Hagerman have tube rush. The Hagerman beats the Herron in my setup and it really sounds incredible but in quiet passages and between songs, there's that hiss at high-medium and high volume. It's just there. No combination of new tubes, new cables, etc changes this fact. Same with the Herron. Anyone having a different experience with a tube phono preamp?

Thanks for the suggestions,

What else do you have in that Vintage System? Inheriting my wealthy uncle's system is how I got hooked.

I visit my friend Bill 15 minutes from Binghamton every spring, we photograph waterfalls with plenty of water.

Last year I pre-arranged with McIntosh, to check out my SS amp MC2250 and SS Preamp C28. I was going to sell them.

dropped off Thursday before noon, picked up Monday afternoon. Good people. btw, that place is HUGE!

Sold em, bought the mx110z tube tuner/preamp and a Cayin A88T Tube amp, wonderful together. I need 16ohm tap, this early Cayin has them, but, bias adjust is inside.

Anyway, McIntosh said no, mx110z too old, no parts, ... They are making me a new mx110z factory box, $55. and shipping it to me free. 

I figure, I'm not ever parting with it, why not have it checked out, probably will need a box.

Audio Classics is a few miles closer to my friend than they are. I'll call them and see what they say.

Sorry to OP for my off topic trip.

No worries. Enjoying the diversion on this horrible day.
