There hasn't been more buzz about the JC3+ because it's so new. It came out in December and has not been available for long.

I had one on order not to long ago, but cancelled that and decided to get a Herron VTPH-2 instead (for more money), which will be delivered on Saturday afternoon.

Dean, had you heard the Parasound JC3+ vs the Herron VTPH-2 or were you going by reviews? The reason I ask is that we currently have almost the same TT (I assume my Performance DC is somewhat close to your Ovation)/Arm/Phono Stage set up - different cartridges though.

I heard neither. I am getting credit for my failed Fosgate Signature v2, so I had a choice of another phonostage from the same dealer. I could have gotten the JC3+ as an even trade, or the Herron for a very reasonable upcharge. I saw some comments on Audiogon comparing the Fosgate, JC3, and Herron and they all spoke to what I was looking for, so I went with the Herron. I really want to stay with the tube quality in my phonostage. If I don't like the Herron I can return it and try the JC3+.

Keith Herron is delivering my VPTH-2 to me tomorrow.
