I purchased this Audio Research VS110 in July 2015 and have been very happy with it's ability to drive my Harbeth 30.1's, while being fed by my Herron Audio phono stage and preamp (see my other listings, if interested). Unfortunately, my current situation requires me to downsize my separates system in favor of a new integrated. As you can see from the pics, this amp is in very good shape, with no obvious blemishes. Stock feet have a smidge of white paint on the bottoms of them from having placed the unit on a newly painted shelf before it had completely cured. I'm conservatively rating it a 7 mostly due to age. Used exclusively in a child, smoke and pet-free home. The current tubes probably have less than 250 hours on them.

Brass footers and maple platform in the pics are not part of the sale. Included with the unit are the original power cord, cushioned tube holder and box, as well as the custom-made acrylic cover from Stereo Squares (originally paid $300+).
At my asking price, I'll cover Paypal fees. Shipping will be a flat rate of $150 for fully insured ground shipping to CONUS. I'll send the tubes and acrylic cover in a separate box.

Info from Audio Research Website:

Given the enthusiastic response to the appearance and sonic peformance of the VS55, you will be happy to know that a more powerful version of this remarkable amplifier is now available: the VS110, rated at 100 WPC. This brings vacuum-tube musicality as only Audio Research can do it to a new power level and price.

The chassis, circuit layout and feature set of the VS110 are almost identical to the VS55, but scaled up to accomodate the greater power output. The chassis itself measures 17 ½" W by 19" D, and features an anodized, natural-finish top plate labeled with tube location/type, output-tube bias access points and the inset Audio Research logo. The chassis front holds a rocker-style power switch and green LED "on" indicator. The chassis rear provides the 0-4-8 ohm 5-way binding posts, voltmeter test points for setting bias, a 12V in/out trigger and a detachable 14-gauge A.C. line cord with IEC socket.

There are two matched pair of 6550C output tubes in each channel, fed by two 6NIP triode driver/followers, which in turn are fed by a single 6NIP input tube. Storage capacity of the bulk power supply is double that of the VS55 and uses the same type of fast, low-ESR Nichicon® capacitors. The simplicity and purity of the audio circuit is a proven performer, but now it can deliver more power for larger speakers in larger rooms.

Like the VS55, the VS110 ships in one color /chassis configuration, black with natural anodized top plate. A perforated cage-type cover is optional, and must be ordered as a separate item.

The sonic signature of the VS110 is very much like that of the VS55, but with more robust dynamics, greater bass impact and power, and a larger soundstage. With so much similarity between these two amplifiers, choosing the right amplifier is simple. The look, the feature set, the circuit types are identical: it is simply a question of how much power you need or want. The VS110 combines classic tube-amplifier appeal with robust power, genuine musicality and solid value. And don't forget Audio Research's unmatched record for long-term product support - a key measure of keeping customers satisfied, decade after decade.

DIMENSIONS: 17½" (44.5 cm) W x 7.9" (20.1 cm) H x 19" (48.3 cm) D. Rear connectors extend .88" beyond chassis
