Oh ya my sentiments exactly.....I have had many pieces from VAC over the last 15 years, the most recent and current is the 70/70 III amplifier. There is no question that VAC absolutely makes some of the most musical gear available for the dollar-regardless of price. And their design and craftmanship are second to none IMO. And just as important to me when buying expensive high-end gear is the commitment of the manufacture to support his/her product and I can tell you from my own experience that the customer service at VAC has always been nothing less than stellar! Kevin and his team has always, and continues to, make every effort and sacrifice to support his product and make his customers happy. In my opinion VAC exemplifies all that is great in this fun hobby.
