Going back to the many skeptics and sour grape guys in 2021. Tell me.....how many companies are there where the CEO (Kevin Hayes) is highly likely to answer the phone when you contact the company??....and then he will speak with you for as long as necessary to thoroughly answer your question!! My Sig Mkii se with phono stage is an amazing piece of precision equipment that compliments my entire system. I can only dream as to "how much" the Master series could improve upon the sonic results I am so fortunate to experience.
VAC preamps - too expensive?
VAC makes great products so i hear. The Linestage Master lists for $28k and next one down is Signature, for $22k. Add $12k for a phonostage.
anybody have experience with these units?
its a marketing strategy. Yeah the $22k Signature is very nice but for just $6k more u get a much better unit. Might as well get the Master. Pretty clever. Oh and they offer a line stage called the Statement for $80k and it comes with chrome and a skylight so u can view whats inside. The Master has most of what the $80k Statement has (no skylight) so i guess the $28k Master seems a great deal. Pretty clever.
