Getlemen, the unit I bought is a used unit that was being offerred by Oswaldo Martinez of Let There be Sound. It was his personal unit. It's getting closer by the day. Another couple of days, and it will be here.
The latest and final line stage, according to Keith, is now called Reference. New units have Reference with Stereo Preamplifier underneath in smaller font on the lower right corner of the faceplate not VTSP-360 with Vacuum Tube Stereo Preamplifier underneath.
Been running a Reference with a VTPH-2a for about 3 months now (pushing LTA UL+ monoblocks) really feel like I am where I want to be after 30 years in the hunt. The presentation is so vivid and authentic I could just sit for hours lost in the performance. I am so grateful for Keith and his support over the many years I’ve known him—he has a genuine passion for his craft and cares deeply about his clients.
I've been using my custom built Tannoy HPD 315 speakers for years now, firsst with solid state, with which they sounded very good.
I switched to tube amps quite a few years ago now, and with my latest amp purchase, the 3C24 amp built for me by Paul Birkeland of Bottlehead, they sound the best they ever have. When coupled to the Herron preamp, I'm expecting wonders through them, as they already are very enjoyable to listen to.
