I don't believe the Chinook is considered competition for the 1201 or Herron VTPH-2. There may be Chinook owners who disagree! Another real good one perhaps available used at your price is the original version of the Zesto.
Manley Chinook or Allnic H1201
I haven't found a thread on this that isnt a couple years old. Time to upgrade from modded Jolida J9. These are the top two contenders. Anyone compared them directly? I also see that Herron phono stages get thrown into the discussion at this price point. I'm really trying to stay under 2k, which probably means used.
