Problems with VAC Avatar
I have been considering purchaseing a used VAC Avatar in standard or SE form. The reviews look good although I have not heard one. My concern is about its reliability. I have owned tube amps in the past and know that one can expect to tinker with them from time to time. Tubes are Tubes after all. It seems that the Avatar has issues though. I believe more than one has stoped functioning in the reviewers hands and it seems like there might be a week point or two from the design being pushed to its limits. I hope I am wrong and that all the Avatar owners and past owners can clear this up for me with feedback as to how there own Avatars held out over time.
Thanks for your interest.
