I can confirm all the positive comments here about Keith and the VTPH-2a. Keith lives just 10 miles up the road from me, and when I ordered my VTPH-2 five years ago he delivered it to my house and hung out for several hours while we got everything dialed in and enjoyed playing some jazz in my collection. He has been back a couple times since too. Last summer he upgraded my unit to VTPH-2a spec, and I got to hear his system at his house. He is so humble and friendly, and a real pleasure to deal with.
Since I first got my unit the rest of the system has expanded to a nearly $100K (at retail) setup with almost most everything else improved. Now my phonostage represents less than 4% of the value of the whole system, but I still consider it end game. It's that good. I'm using it now with a Dynavector XV-1s.
