The moving coil inputs have no load resistors installed. We recommend trying the VTPH-2 in the no-load configuration as the unit is supplied for most moving coil cartridges. 47,000 (47k) ohm RCA load plugs are supplied with the unit for optional use. Additional user specified loading plugs can also be purchased from Herron Audio.

The moving magnet inputs are factory loaded at 47,000 (47k) ohms, 100pF (standard loading for moving magnet cartridges).

"If you are considering the VTPH-2A, you probably care a lot about the quality of the sound your system produces. Vinyl playback that is often described as clean, clear, soft, detailed, spacious, dynamic and even has “slam”. I know that I wanted to hear those qualities when I listened but really couldn’t experience it with the 2 previous phono preamps I used. With the other phono preamps listening often became a battle with the equipment; fussing, tweaking everything trying to get the sound qualities I craved. It wasn’t fun for me. So after reading everything I could, I focused my efforts on phono preamps and took a huge economic chance (for me) with the VTPH-2A. After a month of listening to the music I know well all I can say is “wow”. The VTPH-2A is everything I want because it plays the music beautifully. All those superlative adjectives about the sound- yes! With the VTPH-2A it’s not about the gear, it’s about the music." - Customer Feedback
