This was VTL’s reference preamp. A complete dual mono design from its two power cords to separate power supplies, dual circuits, to four outputs (2 per channel).
I’ve had the pre for about 5 years. It has been serviced and any components that were not to spec have been replaced. All of the tubes test at the upper end of the range. So you should get years of trouble free enjoyment from what is regarded by many as a superb piece of hifi gear.
The only reason that I’m getting rid of it is that I was smitten recently by a bad case of updateitis. Given our new near compulsory staying at home, you too might be wanting to work on your couches ar$e groove while listing to your music afresh. This pre will let you discover nuances that you didn’t know were in the recordings and deliver a real sense of timber and realism to the instruments that you’re listening too.
I’d rate it cosmetically at 7.5/10 and sound at 10/10. See the photo’s. While the model number indicates a MM phone stage, you’ll see that there’s an input marked MC. You’ll also see twin rotary switches near the phono inputs. These provide for capacitance matching on a MM cart.
A true audiophile classic. It can be auditioned in Ballarat (having regard for COVID-19 physical distancing requirements apply!). Ideally pick up from here. However, I can supervise a professional packing/shipping company at buyers cost. I would also consider deliver to an address or meeting place within 100kms of Ballarat.
I’m also selling separately a pair of VTL De Luxe 160 mono blocks. (See separate ad.)
