Herron VTPH-2 added to system (almost)

Congrats @islandmandan I have had my VTPH-2a for many years now and have never felt the urge to change. Super quiet, reliable, sounds great. I’m also using Keith’s Reference linestage which is equally awesome. Love the guy and his gear. Let us know how it all sounds once you get it connected up! PS I don’t use the loading plugs either though I have a full set.

Well, after chasing around for a few days getting my R/H speaker working right again, I finally had time to listen to some vinyl last night.

What a pleasure. Chick Corea's Play Wonder, Chopian,  etc; sounded the best my vinyl front end has ever sounded. I just turned off the lights and listened to a beautifully played piano.

I'm already in love with the Herron VTSP-2 phono stage. Much more vinyl listening is coming my way, I should think! 

Regards,

Dan 

So, for the record (!), does the Herron beat the well-regarded Modwright SWP 9.0 phono stage?

Yes Noromance, it does, though it's not an ass-kicking. I put my new cartridge on tonight (new to me), a Shure V-15 Type 5 MR and new stylus, and my analog front end has never souded better.

I couldn't be happier with how it sounds, and that's all that matters.

Best regards,

Dan

I hear that phono amp is something special. Enjoy.
