I only sold the VAC amps to pay for much more expensive amps that became available. Power was not an issue as the VAC drives my 90 db speakers with absolute ease. I have been listening today and love these VAC amps. I wish I could have waited to c...

Sure been quiet on the thread. I purchased some VAC Musicbloc amps recently and have been listening to them for a couple of weeks. I have learned something just recently that I want to pass on. I had these amps plugged into by BPT 2.5 Ultra as I h...

I use the AH 3.0 dac and love it. It bested many good digital front ends of have owned. Very musical and meaty.I found the upgraded 2.1 much better all around in my system.Bill

I am thinking of trying a tube amp again and am considering a high powered PP or SET. Wonder how long this amp will take to bring to market? Like my Belles SS amp to be sure, but a recent Agon purchase has given me the tube bug again. I purchased ...

I don't prefer XLR over RCA in general. It always depends on how the unit at hand is made. Many times I can't tell the difference on many pieces of gear. In this case Joseph made the XLR (b) version better sounding to my ears. He designd it this w...

Sherod, Wow your a man of action! Seems you got down to the bottom line on the upgrade and burn -in. Not so much the wire harness or power supply, rather its the output caps and bypasses that are troubling you.That is great to know Sherod, but one...

The wife and kids are gone tonight all day Friday. I have the day off also!! I am listening to music late into the night and loving it. No doubt the 2.1 is coming into its own in my play room. It has been on with loud music all day and night thus ...

I will look up the specs for my SS amp tonight. I am also getting a nice triode tube amp Friday and will play with that!I also think the output or gain of the AH is an issue to look into. The version one owns and the use of XLR or RCAconnections p...

I do not find my upgraded version softer or recessed. My experience is just the opposite. Voices are more forward and symbals have more impact and decay. The 2.0 is softer sounding in my system to be sure.The sound is not as round and warm as the ...

I use balanced in and outs on my 2.1 upgraded preamp. I understand in my version Joseph puts some more money into the XLR jacks. I think he builds in some sort of balanced transformer in each channel. I have to check on that. I also noticed a nice...

While I am getting more tube warmth the new version does lack in the one area Sherod keeps bringing up - "breath of life". I like that phase.Tvad calls it 3D or musical. Thus far, after near 100 hours of burn in, my unit excels in many pure audiop...
