Herron VTPH-2 Phono Preamp

I have the 69 dB gain model and No it can not be switched without sending the unit into Keith.

Because of the sonic qualities of the VTPH-2 I am seriously considering going with his VTSP-3Ar02 and M1A's.

The best way to find out more about the VTPH-2 is to give Keith a call. Not only will you find out more that you will ever want to know about the unit but you will learn a few things as well. And you will find out why Keith has so many loyal customers--it is not about selling gear but about sharing the joy of hi fidelity. And Chuck--the VTSP-3AR02 is every bit as good as the VTPH-2--perhaps better. A truly reference class product that disappears and lets the music live and breath in your home.

Thanks again gentlemen for your replies. I was able to email a little bit with Keith today about his phono stage.

I'm currently using the Benz Ruby ZH which has a .7mV output and therefore would need to order mine with the 64dB of gain which uses 2 x 12ax7's, 3 x 12at7's.

Which cartridges are you all using with this phono stage?

I use a Benz Micro Wood SL which is .4mv output.

I am using a ATOC9MLII. I don't recall the output but I am using the tube set in my Herron for low gain--mostly because I have very high efficiency speakers.
