Have you heard the new VS VR4 Anniversary Edition

Sorry for the misinformation on the Audiospace price. Your right, I didn't pay much attention to the price sign at the show. Someone else told me $4700.00 later. I do know that Albert was VERY impressed with the APL unit.

Those of you at the show probably know that the APL player was being used in that room. On Thursday afternoon about 3:30 just before the end of the event, an APL prototype tube hybrid was put in the system in place of the Audio Space. I was on the end of the couch listening when Albert sat in the middle (sweet spot) and took a serious listen. He got up and took Alex Peychev aside for a talk.
I can tell you that the APL amp took those speakers up to a much higher level. The clarity was the most obvious improvement with a more three dimensional presentation. It was an obvious difference.

Hi M-mibby. I was told the Audiospace is $4700.00. The APL hybrid integrated is supposed to be $5000.00. I believe it uses the ecc99 tubes and has 85 or 90 wpc and is able to drive difficult loads.
I too thought the sound in that room was good with the audiospace but when the APL integrated went in it all came together and showed what the VR4 Anniversary were capable of. Besides the noticable difference in clarity as I mentioned above, a slight upper midrange glare disappeared and the bass went deeper as well.
When this amp is availabe, I'm sure that Alex Peychev will have another big hit. Especially for the price.
