I came across a post recently http://www.vpiforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=19187
and confirmed it through the Herron website. Bummer.

Prices have gone up so much since the last time, that this time he looked and said the price increase to produce would be astronomical. Probably one of several factors but a crucial one. Anyway, point is the VTPH2A was and is an awesome phono stage, it was selling well, but now will be made no more. A real shame, I don't know of anything to recommend in that price range, and as performance goes you are now realistically looking at $5-10k. It will be missed.
