RE: Should I replace my passive preamp with tubes?

I was huge passive guy. Tried so many of them at all budget levels and finally when bought a phono preamp from Keith Herron, he suggested that it sounded better with a tube preamp and I bought an old model used for like $1200 and it totally changed my view. There's just a spacial aspect that you can't get with a passive that tubes bring you and if you're careful with tube choice, you don't give up resolution.

If you can find a used Herron VTSP-1, that's a great place to start.
