Herron or ?

On a whim, without planning to, I bought a Herron Line Stage, it being unusual by the fact that it containd six 6922 tubes intsead of four. I don't have any clue if it sounds any different the later units that have four 6922 tubes.

By itself, it so dramatically improved the sound quality of my system I was, and still am, in awe  of what it was able to do.

So impressed, I just bought a Herron phono stage.

Maybe this tells you something.

They’re obviously both great and doubt you could possibly be unhappy with either.  I’ll just say Herron is no longer in business, which may be a consideration for down the road in terms of repairs.  Best of luck. 

I have the Herron and the detail from it is amazing but it’s a tad lean and dry.

I think I’m looking for more of a tubeish sound like from a 6sn7 tube

If you can wait for a new one to be built or can find a used Don Sachs preamp, just go for it — and it does use your desired 6sn7 tubes. I don’t think the LTA will give you what you’re looking for.
