Adding a Herron VTSP 3A/360 Preamplifier to the system.

Muleving, this one is the silver finish. It is one of the first VTSP units made, and has six tubes rather than four. I don't know what possesed me to buy it, just perusing the tube amps and preamps, but when I saw the Herron, I had to have it.

I'm hoping for a positive transformation, if it's anythiing like when I went from the Transcendent Sounds to the Modwright, it's going to be huge.

I assume you bought the one that was here on Audiogon last week or so? 

I recently bought a pair of Herron monoblocks and am impressed with them, so I then bought one of his SS preamps, a used HL-1 built ~ 2005. I like the build and function of the HL-1, and it sounds good but I can't help to think one of his newer tubed units would sound that much better. Let us know how you like the  VTSP 3A/360. 

sebrof, I will give my impressions as to how I feel regarding the VTSP 3A/360 after it arrives, and has been in service for a little while.

And yes, it is that same unit that I pulled the trigger on, even though I didn't know I was looking for a preamp. I did though, feel like it was a pretty rare animal, and felt like it would brace up an area that could use some improvement

Thanks and regards,
Dan

Keith is a gem. Enjoy the new pre.

I'd looked at both the 360 and the Herron monoblocks in the recent past, but went in different (and much more expensive) directions. My ears have recently been opened up to Tannoys on Solid State amps (Phison - who I'd never heard of before this year), so I could get curious to try another SS amp like Herron someday :)
