I thought the VTL/Avalon Indra set-up at RMAF sounded excellent with both an analog source Rega P5/Exact and digital source. It is difficult to say how much of this was due to the VTL 5.5, but it certainly didn't get in the way!
RMAF and VTL
Did anyone here go to the RMAF and listen to the new VTL signature TL 5.5 preamp? I am interested in a full funtcion preamp, (I am trying to simplify my system with fewer components and cables)? If you did what did you think. I have auditioned the VTL 6.5 and it was wonderful but big, line only and a bit out of the budget. I have also auditioned the Aesthetix Rhea and Calypso at different stages and #1 on my possible list is the Janus or Janus signature, the VTL may take it's place however. I appreciate your input.
