Up for sale is a VTL TL-5.5 in great condition.  This is an absolute classic that punches WAY above its weight! Don't take my word for it though:  



"When I find in a component as much to kvell about as I did in the VTL TL-5.5, I can't help wondering if I've gushed too fulsomely. But in head-to-head listening sessions against quality preamps that have afforded me enormous pleasure over the past few years, the TL-5.5's quickness, clarity, depth of resolution, layered soundstaging, and arresting midrange depth always proved warmly involving and musically compelling. 
 
Richly detailed, tonally accurate, and nonfatiguing, the VTL TL-5.5 is a fine example of the midrange liquidity and human character that a finely tuned, non-invasive tube design can add to any signal chain by fleshing out a realistic palette of earth tones—even as its bass control, midrange smoothness, sparkling highs, and quiet authority suggest the performance of solid-state. 
 
With a minimum of fuss and primping, the VTL TL-5.5 delivers useful features, no-compromise build quality, and audiophile authority at a most competitive price point. You'd have to spend a lot more to make this preamp take a back seat to any line stage, tubed or otherwise."

Three important points:    

1) It is a series 1, not a series 2 (I actually prefer the sound of the series 1 in many ways).


2) This unit does not come with the optional phono stage       


3) It does come with fantastic Brimar CV4003 / 12AU7's & JJ 12AT7's.
