VTL information

I do have a good tech. I like to have as much info as I can when I get new equipment. There isn’t much out there on these amps that I can find. I usually like to find the owners manual, and any reviews for reference when possible.  I was really surprised when I contacted VTL. Maybe the receptionist was having a bad day. She was rude and no help. She informed me they don’t have any information on their equipment that age and offered no help at all. Customer service was lacking. It seems like this is a good source for information and lots of advice. 

I read this form almost every day and have learned a lot of the years. This is my first time using it. I am switching over to tubes and discovering how much I don’t know. That is part of the appeal for me to audio. 

DeKay,

Thank you for that. That is what I was hoping for.

Dekay,

Upon digging into that link that amp is different than mine. I have 8 807 power tubes. The Manley has 10 EL34's. Maybe the difference is in the different years or the two different companies. My understanding is that David Manley engineered that amp for VTL and they split from them. 

Thanks I will try that. Thanks for the warning. 

It turns out that I did talk to Bea previously. She was much more helpful/pleasant this time. I still didn't get any info. She indicated that they didn't have an owners manual they furnished to purchasers back then. Seems odd...Maybe I don't need one. I must say that this forum has been very helpful even though I didn't find what I was looking for. Thanks everyone for your input. If anyone comes up with another idea please let me know.

Thank all of you for the information. My tech is soon to have room on his bench for them and we will see. He is very good and not to concerned about the servicing them. When I get new equipment I like to get the sales brochure and owners manual and a few reviews for it for later reference.

I didn’t know anything about Bryston amps. I read some reviews and they say nothing but great things about them. Hmmm. Maybe some day. Thanks for the heads up.
