Verastarr amplifiers? Anyone ? Owners or Opinions


Hi guys I am looking for owners of or people that have heard of Verastarr amplifiers, particularly the ssa 64 but any will do.I have found very limited info out there and most was from people that seemed to have an interest in Verastarr. I am wondering how it sounds whats current worth or if anyone would even be interested because I see no sale history. Either their awesome amps and no one wants to get rid of them or no one ever buys them ? Whats the real deal here ?

Hello OP. I own both a Verastarr SSA-644 and Studio 6.4. These amps have plenty of headroom for dynamic passages backed by more then just total watts as they have massive power supplies with plenty of capacitor storage so the current to drive demanding speakers or taxing musical transitions is readily available. The SSA-644 is a Class A amplifier that switches over to AB when more grunt is needed. What I notice most is that the Class A really opens up the detail on the quieter passages (neutral, natural, musical) and there is no noticeable difference when the louder more demanding passages need the grunt of the Class AB as the amp has all the authority that it needs the moment it needs it. I have listened to large high wattage room heating all Class A amps and once the sound level gets so high the finesse of Class A is lost to the overall sound pressure level in the room which in my opinion means a 300 watt all Class A amp really isn't needed unless its your primary heat source!

These amps are well built with premium components and way over built PCB boards and awesome power supplies. The amps are well thought out as well as laid out properly with attention to signal path detail.

So if you get an opportunity to buy either an SSA-644 or Studio 6.4, I am fairly sure the owner will let you listen to it before you buy it if you both are local. And if not local, I am just as sure that if you purchased one on Audiogon and ended up not wanting to keep it that you would have no trouble turning around and reselling it again on Audiogon.

If you have specific questions about either amp, I would be happy to attempt to answer them.
I have an EAR 890 amp. I am wondering if Vearastarr has an amp they build that will outrun my amp by a country mile? Must be tubes :)
I mostly visit various forums and read the post. I will make an exception on this occasion as I am one of the fortunate who purchase a Verastarr SSA64 (  2400W @ 8 Ohm with all 5 channels driven.) the model before the SA664.   There is a small list of things that I have made a perment part of my earhly experience, my Verastarr SSA64 is on that list. In 2008 or 09, and authorized dealer had permission to sell them on ebay to the highest bidder above the reserve price.  I won the bid (and it was not cheap) and never looked back. At the time I had a pair of Adcom mono block (model ?) a Cinapro preamp, and Bryston 4b amp. Speaker where Genesis Technology Genesis III,  and some other surround sounds,  I have since added a pair of Metaphor 2 with matching numbers an sign document from Bill Peugh, and Karl Schuster.  

Currently my listening room and down, and I am going through that phase of upgrading speaker (sure others have been on the ride) I have been reading reviews on several speakers that require good quality, clean power, to drive said speakers. Some potential buyers are advised, that they might have to invest in better amplification  I review each speaker with the confidence that my Verastarr SSA64 will more than conquer the challenge, exceeding any given requirements with high-end results.

The real challenge is finding them, they are keepers.
Just became the owner of a Verastarr ssa64 and WOW ! , this is a sweet powerhouse. anyone else left here with one?I would  love to chat on your experience in multi channel modes.   

Sorry for the old post resurrection. I just moved to Germany and want to configure my two Verastarr amps for 240v. I have an SSA-644 (same internally as the SSA-64) and a Studio 6.4. I have a handwritten schematic for the 64 but its not very clear and some annotations are obscured.

There are two unused wires on the toroidal transformer that I assume get connected to the junction box with the black circular ICL component.

I can’t find an orange wire thats mentioned on the schematic and it appears all spade pins are used for 240v vs 110v operation. Can anyone provide an image of their 240v wiring? This is how my SSA-644 is setup for 110v.

Thanks in advance
