This is a great unit. I have one, still running it for over 12 years now. I use it with Sound Valves Mono blocks M60. I run a VPI Aries/Clearaudio Victory into it. Great sound if married with tube amps. Quickly buy it. Easy to sell on e-bay. They have gone for about $400. Tube rolling is a must.
Sound Valves VTP-101 Preamp
Does anyone have any info or opinion with regard to the Sound Valves VTP 101 preamp? This piece is available to me from an estate sale and I am wondering if it is worthwhile. From what I've read so far, it sounds like a tubed version of a Hafler preamp, but maybe it's a hiddden treasure. I am currently using a Forte 44 preamp, a Grado PH1 phono preamp and an Aragon 2004 power amp.
