| Black glass KenRad 6SN7s take the cake No, haven't tried any 5692... but I'd be curious to hear your opinions on them. Have an opportunity to get some National Union black glass... think I may wait until I get the preamp that needs a 6SN7 before I invest anymore in 6SN7s. The kenrads a... | |

| Opinions on preamps Glad I amuse you Kana. Tell me, how are you so sure the VAC can't handle a 4 ohm load? Ever own this amp? ever speak with the manufacturer? or are you just going off of your obviously superior audio knowledge? | |
| Opinions on preamps The VAC, according the Kevin Hayes, is sensitive, and needs a preamp that has LOW gain, ideally around 10dB. | |
| Opinions on preamps I don't think the naysayers about the VACs power rating have heard this amp. It actually has 3 speaker taps: 1-2 ohms, 4-8 ohms, and 8-16 ohms. The power rating is stable at any of these taps. I have heard it on my Aerius i (89dB, 4 ohm nominal), ... | |
