Absolutely GORGEOUS and PRISTINE two chassis preamplifier in silver. You could spend 5X and have much less. Sound is nothing short of perfect, with amazing harmonic textures, deep tight low frequency, and the most airy life like mids and highs. See my 100% feedback and 10 year history and buy with absolute confidence,,,  ONLY selling because it was replaced by the VAC Statement Preamplifier!!!!

From the VAC website:
As in the Statement Line Stage, the volume control is a massive custom-made, multisection, 2.2 kg brass volume control with internal brass shielding. Remote-control capability is implemented via a VAC-designed motor drive system, which allows continuous control of infinite resolution.

All of the hand-wired Class A1 audio circuits are carried on machined, mass-loading plates, which are decoupled from the main chassis. This projects solidity in detail and imaging while reducing microphony to infinitesimal levels. You’ll find the “naked” z-foil resistors and premium transformers from the Statement Line Stage.

The VAC Master Preamplifier outperforms every other preamplifier, with the exception of the VAC Statement models that inspired it.

  • Master Preamplifier Technical Specifications Gain - 12 dB
  • Inputs - 3 sets RCA line input, 3 sets balanced/RCA selectable inputs, 1 set balanced/RCA cinema bypass input. 
  • Outputs - 2 sets RCA, 2 sets balanced XLR (EIA “pin 2 hot” studio standard)
  • THD - <0.009% @ 1 kHz, 1 V RMS
  • Maximum Output - < 8 V RMS -
  • Output Impedance - > 150 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, static (i.e., not dependent upon feedback)

Questions for the seller
How old is this unit and are you the original owner? Are there original tubes?
"I bought the preamp new in early 2016. The tubes are not original. I replaced them with new ones right before I got my new VAC Statement preamp. The pair that are in the unit are nearly new, with only a very few hours. If you are interested in buying the preamp, I'll include a spare set of quality tubes. Thanks for your interest."
