I would repair what you have. Which version do you have? I have listened to the mark I and mark II. I had a lot of enjoyable hours listening with those amps. I have never heard the VS115. Even if you decide to sell the amp it is better to sell a working amp.
Audio Research VS115 and VT100 Questions ?
I've owned a VT100 for 10 years, and it needs new tubes (or an upgrade.) The tubes have not failed, and it still works, but I saw and smelt smoke comming off of one of the boards.
(I was pushing it real hard into Sound Labs using a Wadia CD player with no preamp (just the volume on the Wadia)
I'm considering buying the VS115. The AR dealer near me is somewhat new to the brand and doesn't know much yet.
Does the VS115 amp require a 20amp plug in the wall?
What if I don't have a 20 amp recepticle? Can I use a cheater?
Does AR still offer upgrades to the VT100?
(I know I sould call them)
I like the box design of the VT series better than the open plate layout of the VS series. Should I just buy a new amp and forget about the VT100?
