I am currently using the Manley Labs Shrimp with the amp, and I am very pleased by the results. You may know the the amplifier as input impedance of 47k ohm, which means it shouldn't be a problem matching with most tube preamps. Regards,

I am still waiting the VTL to arrive, but when I'm up and running, I'll report on the performance. I might also buy something a little cheaper just to mess around. Maybe an AES or something . . .
