Any VAC CPA-1 preamp owners here?


I have just purchased a VAC CPA-1 MKIII w/phono upgrades here on Audiogon.
I am hoping there are some other owners of this preamp here to exchange information and experience.
Especially would like to know what tubes you are using, and what tweaks have been found to get the most from this preamp.

I hope there is some owners out there, my search did not bring up much information.. in fact, there is not much on the net period about this preamp.

Hey Rick... any follow up on this thread? Ever get a sound that you liked? I am interested in VAC products as well but it is not like I am swimming in cash. Used would be the only way I could go.
Rick, I see that you are now selling this preamp. I find it interesting that after all this research and upgrades from VAC, that you only listened to the preamp for a week. It's been in storage for almost 3 years???
Am I to assume that you did not care for it?
