Herron VTPH-2A vs ModWright PH 9.0


Hello, I was wondering if anyone has compared the Herron VTPH-2A to the ModWright PH 9.0? Unfortunately, I am not able to audition the two in person but am very curious how they compare. Their price is similar, Herron - $3650; ModWright - $2900/$3200 (with XLR connections). They also use a different sets of tubes, Herron - two 12AX7, three 12AT7; ModWright - two 6C45, two 6DJ8. I've heard 6C45 tubes are extremely quiet but, again, I haven't heard them in person. Appreciate anyone who can offer their experience with either product and how they compare in sound. Thank you!

+1 on the Luxman EQ500! I am using NOS medical grade European Amperex tubes and it sounds so good! Even with stock tubes, it beat the Tavish Adagio and the Herron. Also the most quiet phono stage I have ever owned...tube or solid state!
