Dared Audio VP-20 - GREAT modded tube monoblocks!! LOWERED PRICE!

Original owner.  Sweet tube monos with external PSU.  Excellent sound.  Outstanding vocals, mid-range and that wonderful tubey bass.  Hate to sell but have other tube amps.

Solid performers and build quality.  TUBES: 6L6Gx4,12AX7x2,12AU7x2
total.

I do have some other Russian NOS 6L6 tubes that I might include for $50...

"As a 2-channel tube amp, the Dared VP-20 is a strong all-round contender.
It's designed to operate only in ultra-linear mode, supposedly trading
the detail and resolution of triode mode for dynamics and power. In
reality, I never find the VP-20 to compromise detail and resolution. If
one day I have to sell all my tube amps, this will be the last one to
go."

"The Dared SL-2000A and VP-20 provide very good
performance, especially at their price point. "

"After that, I put on Chris Isaak's Baja Sessions, which was a great
match for this amp. I never expected to hear the sound of fingers on
guitar strings and drumsticks bouncing off drum heads, but it's all
there, lending a sense of realism that defies description. Now, to be
honest, how much of that is unique to this amp and how much is just an
effect of moving from solid state to tubes, I can't say. What I can
say, though, is that I am now rediscovering my music in a way I never
thought possible. I feel like when I got my first pair of prescription
glasses; like I am finally privy to an entire world of beauty and crisp
resolution that was heretofore hidden just out of reach."

Upgrades:
Coupling capacitors
Laddered resistor pots

NOTE: When removing/swapping tubes (after letting them cool), like the 6L6s, grab ONLY at the BASE (bottom) of the tube!  Never from the top or middle.  The tube can/will split apart if NOT handled from the base.
