I would have to agree that the Herron VTPH-2 is the choice at any price point. That said, Herron does take VTPH-1 units in on trade. IMO, a used VTPH-1 in your price range is the very best bang for the buck and still an excellent choice in most price ranges. A call to Keith Herron (www.herronaudio.com) is the only way to find out if he has any and the price.
Which of these 4 Phono Pre you'dl choose?
Hi to all the forum members,
I'm looking for a new phono preamp to upgrade my system. The only one that I had was the first version of ASR MiniBasis, a very good preamp, but compared to the settings and the improvements of the Exclusive model the first version it's so far behind. I have watched, but no listened, other three more expensive models (at least here in Spain) but I don't have sound reference. I would like if you can give me an opinion of these models:
- ASR MiniBasis Exclusive
- LehmannAudio Decade
- Avid Pulsus
- Nagra BPS
All are factory new and their prices range from $1500 (MiniBasis) to $2300 (Nagra)
Please tell me your reviews!
Thanks in advance
