This is a bad ass Phono Pre-Amp guys.
I am very glad that I didn't buy the supra now.
So far the results are outstanding. I spent about an hour on VTA, 20 minutes on VTF, 10 minutes on Bias.
This really is much better then the herron and I'm oly using a scott 352B from the 70's. When the jolida arrives I expect to get even better results.
All I can tell you is imagine the difference from vinyl to cd. This is that exact difference. I will tell you that the air is exactly what Jim said it would be. The soundstage has the singer in front and layer correcly while setting boundries well. It is the most accurate sound that I have ever heard in my entire high fi disease.
If you thought you needed a berning ZH-270 forget it. I feel that this phono pre-amp has made a better improvement for the money the ANY thing I've ever heard or owned. If you are fortunate enough to allready have a great system and you like vinyl; I believe this is the best phono pre-amp made and I suspect it's even going to have more drive then a bolder or a Manley.
I know this is an insane comment but it really is the best piece of hi-fi I've ever owned. I may not be the sage that the rest of you are but this is the absolute thing I was praying for. It will be a hard act to follow, I doubt we'll se a better $ 4 $ upgrade in the next few years although the ZH-270 is close to as good of a $ deal.
Guys do search on google for: Hagerman Technology Trumpet
If you live in the DFW(Dallas Fort Worth) area I would be happy to let you hear this thing kill any phono pre-amp you have. If you can beat it I'll eat my hat.
If you think the herron is good think again
This is the honest truth. Call me if you like 940-384-0004
If you live in DFW and have a Berning, I have the Merlins and the trumpet with a NAS Spacedeck/Arm Metal and a Dyna DV-20XH, Come on Down!
