Hey Stewbee
Just commented on the ER300, but I own this amplifier also. "Just Audio" in Baltimore did a tune-up on mine about 18 months ago and all is well. Mine came direct from Emil as he was a dear friend whom I met while working for a Defense Contractor. After all these years my case on the VTE-200S is a little deformed under the transformer but works very well to this day. Emil loaned me this amp when I first met him and he said once you hear it forget everything you knew about audio. He definitely knew his stuff! As a habit I put my amplifier on a Variac after long periods of inactivity since I also own the ER300M 300 watt monos Emil made. I love them even more.
