Dear Mijo, Are there data to suggest that the Herron is quieter than the Chinook? Great as the Herron apparently is, what with its many admirers hereabouts, I would have thought the Chinook would be quieter, just because of its use of transistors for gain in a cascode with the 6922 on top. Also, I don't think it's quite fair to say the Chinook is "old", if the Herron is not also old. The genius in the Herron is apparently how it is put together; it's design is that of a classic MM stage, where such stages have used the 12AX7 as input gain stage for decades. I'm not judging one vs the other; I just wonder about the accuracy of your statement.
Considering a new Phono Pre-Amp
Hey Everyone,
Going to try and keep this short and simple.
I am considering a new Phono Pre-Amp. Currently have the Sim Audio 110lp V2 and it has been serving me well but wondering if a better Pre-Amp could further improve the system.
Here is what I am considering after much research and reviews:
- Herron VTPH-2A
I have read many great reviews of this particular device.
- Manley Chinook
Once Again read good reviews of this device also
- SimAudio 310lp
A step up from what I have now and has had good reviews. Also, everyone who reviews it states it’s extremely quiet, so I suppose that is a plus.
-Goldnote Ph10
I like the ability of this device to change settings on the fly. Have read good reviews but also possible noise issues?
The Herron and Manley of course are tube based so that’s one of the biggest differences between these 2 and the SimAudio and Goldnote.
I don't think I could go wrong with any of these because they are all quality products.
Well I wanted to get the communities opinion.
My only fear is, with my system, would I experience an improvement or not? Not Sure
Thanks
