Any opinions on VAC preamps?


I see a VAC Standard pre for sale on here but I can't find any reviews on it or other VAC preamps out here. There seems to be plenty written about their amps, but not much about their pre's. Anybody have any comments or experiences?

I have had the VAC Standard Pre for about 6 months and give it the utmost praise. I have never heard a sweeter pre for under $5000. I am using the Pre to drive an Anthem AMP2 and B&W CDM7NT. The sound is very lush, but detailed, nothing harsh or shrill. I had a Proceed Pre before I got the VAC and there couldn't be any more difference in sound.
VAC has about the best build quality and finish I have seen. And for one on one conversation about any info on VAC products, Kevin Hayes is very personable. VAC owners are really treated like one of the family.
I'm saving my pennies now for a VAC PA100/100 amp.
Hope this helps.
