better phono stage

I have a Herron VTPH-2 running with my VPI Classic and it is simply an amazing phonstage; very detailed and quiet. And Keith Herron is as good as it gets to work with. Don't know how you could go wrong or even perhaps buy a better phono stage regardless of price. The rest of my system is a Cary SLI-80F1 direct coupled integrated (triode mode) driving Focal 1007Be monitors and HGA DNA/X32 cabling and Benz wood sl cartridge.

Czbbcl what is the price range for the Herron is it tubes or solid state. Thanks for your reply.

I second the Herron VTPH-2. It is a wonderful very musical phono stage, very quiet and is a tube unit. Call Keith Herron and see if you can try one, I bet that you will not send it back.

After a little reading I bought a different rectifier tube. Not sure it made a difference but it's fun.

The Herron VTPH-2 is a tubed unit and as stated previously very quiet. Excellent detail but to my ears more importantly is the accuracy of the unit. I think it retails for around $3500.00 or so...
