Dgad,
Are you using the stock VTL power cord or an aftermarket PC?
My 7.5 vs 1 sounds abit more open when plugged into the wall rather than my AdeptResponse PC. I have good clean power but need to protect against lightning surges, so play it both ways.
Have thought about the upgrade to vs 2, but the 3k price is difficult to swallow for what seems to be a nice but not dramatic improvement. Is the gain lowered on the new version?
I am using the 12au7 tubes VTL sent to me because of lower gain requirement using my Sim Audio W6 monoblocks. Gain is still too high, but much more acceptable and very low tube hiss now.
I thought about rolling tubes, but the no warranty threat in the manual gives me pause.
Your system is impressive. Would be curious to know what interconnects you are using on phono and digital inputs.
