About the VTPH-2

The Herron Audio VTPH-2 is a vacuum tube phono preamplifier celebrated for its exceptional sound quality and versatility. Designed and hand-built in the USA, it features an all-tube RIAA circuit with a complement of 12AX7 and 12AT7 tubes, offering both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) compatibility. The VTPH-2 is praised for its low noise floor, natural tonality, and ability to extract fine musical detail from vinyl records. Cartridge loading is accomplished via resistors soldered to the input connectors, ensuring long-term reliability and sonic purity. The unit is robustly constructed, with gold-plated RCA connectors, a detachable AC cord, and a power-line polarity switch. Though now discontinued, the VTPH-2 remains a reference-level choice for analog enthusiasts seeking a tube-based phono stage.
