Why Not More Conversation about VAC?


As I browse Audiogon's posts...I'm constantly amazed at the lack of attention, questions, remarks about VAC, (Valve Amplification Company).
First and foremost, I'm thinking that most if not all of us are music lovers--and I'm not aware, subjectively, of course, of more, just out and out, musical sounding electronics. And, I don't mean that in a perjorative, 'colored' sense...I mean that in the most flattering sense.
The lack of comments may mean nothing, but it just strikes me as 'absent' from good discussions.
Second, and beyond the stellar sound, if you want great gear, and a great person to buy it from, who better in terms of accommodation, knowledge and service than Kevin Hayes. Like the Bobster (Palkovic) his reputation for building first rate stuff and then backing it to the hilt is unsurpassed.

Kevin is also a great guy AND music lover of the first order...a friend too, but I'm not shilling here, just seriously wondering why VAC isn't further up the discussion ladder.

Kinda like reading Motor Trend Magazine, in which they 'Test Drive' a Mustang in EVERY ISSUE!!!

Just wondering.

Thanks Podeschi,Q for Sig MKII owners,do you stack the pre on top of the power supply,wondering about any hum issues or noise.
I do have mine stacked,she seems dead quiet,overall very impressed with the Vac.
I'm curious, are you guys using any form of tube dampers on the
preamp side and what are the sonic differences(damp/no damp.
Reason, I picked up a Sig MKII pre(no PH).
With my Bryston's I'm content,unless like JWM says win the
lotto.
I was shocked that I could even get the pre(used).
All in all,in the comfort zone,now it's gonna take some time
reading up on tubes,she never ends.
