Advice on phono pre

I've been using a Herron VTPH-2 for a while. I haven't heard anything as good, nothing better. Prior to the VTPH-2, I was using a VTPH-1mc. It was excellent, but not up to the VTPH-2. As I said, I haven't heard anything as good as a VTPH-2.

The VTPH-2 has an advantage of being "cartridge output neutral" since it has inputs for high output carts as well as low output carts.

Did I mention that I haven't heard any phono stage as good as a VTPH-2?

Herron Audio is very easy to work with and has an outstanding product line. Herron Audio would be on my very short list of manufacturers to use.

On the table side, have you listened to a Classic 2 or Classic 3? And I understand the 3D arm on the Classic 3 is a combination very hard to beat (though pricier than the Prime).

Pbnaudio - you wouldn't have a conflict of interest with the B2B-1 would you?

The information provided indicated that PBN (Pbnaudio?) is the manufacturer of the B2B-1 unit.

But you're promoting your own products. That is a clear conflict of interest. You should only be here to offer technical support advice like Jon Carr instead of hawking your products.

Shameful self-interest.

Doug, there is no disclosure in this thread. The conflict of interest seems to be supported in this thread. If you are responsible for policing the threads, you can see for yourself the obvious and blatant conflict.

It appears more that you are saying the articles are from the maker, not that you're self-promoting. But you're still promoting your own products. That's completely unethical on a forum like this. I don't think I would ever do business with someone like you.

I don't have a financial interest in Herron Audio components. You have a FINANCIAL INTEREST. That's the difference. I can describe what I hear honestly and without FINANCIAL INTEREST in the business, just an enjoyment of music.

I can own any components I want. I choose Herron because I have not heard better. I have not excluded or attacked comments from others who own (but TTBOMK do not have a FINANCIAL INTEREST) other components. I listen and learn. I'm often motivated to listen to other components that people WITHOUT FINANCIAL INTEREST seem to like.

Can you honestly say that you don't promote your components?
