Which Phono Preamp?

Among your choices HW(VPI) gives the PS Audi a thumbs up.

The Pass would be the other choice if cost isn't a big deal.

Congrats on the Hyperion. Call Keith pronto see if you can snag one of the last VTPH2A from him.

I have to agree, if you like the Pass you have then the Pass is going to have a similar and complementary sound to it. I found over time mixing if you don’t have to complicates things. Same brand are made together.

Pass is technology with discrete electronic components, PS Audio Stellar is all in smd ... moreover the Stellar does not work without remote control and some in the world have already accused defects

Best-Groove - are discrete electronic components a bad thing?
