Hi tbln, thanks for the info.

 

BTW, I was really impressed with what solid state is capable of after listening to your Apache at the last meet. I sold my tube amp and ordered a Pico for office and may get VHP2 with VAC for home. Unlikely to sound anywhere near as good as the Apache but fine with me at a fraction of the price and as long as the sound is musical and engaging. 'll lose the harmonic richness of tubes but the hassle of tube doesn't suit me.

Look forward to your views on the VHP-2 with & without VAC! What tube amp did you have?

Found a few positive posts and reviews on the VHP2 but nothing beats an actual audition. I've lost count of the no of times I'm all psych up after reading positive posts/reviews and then feel utterly disappointed on the 1st date. Sound quality can be so subjective. Supposed to have some tube-like signature as it is a chip amp but I have reservations.

 

Had a HA-1A, nice liquid midband with airy spacious sound stage. I don't like the 15-20 min warm up period before they start to sound nice, high background noise compared to SS amp. Also feel the need to wake up to switch the thing off after I dose off. I've rolled a few tubes but if I keep going, the tubes will cost more than the amp.

Any updates on the audition?

I have not tried. Not sure if the person who answer the phone make a mistake but she said they only have VHP1.
