Herron Audio VTPH-2A Question

 I want to get this phono stage. I worry it might be too detailed and unforgiving. I do like an
extended low end and a deep soundstage. I like all kinds of music, especially prog rock.
I have considered the Manley Chinook. I really want something with tubes. Has anybody
owned both of these? I also like strings, woodwinds, acoustic things. Thanks.
