Dusty On the Stereophile Blog Show Report....
« on: 10 Jan 2007, 04:38 am »


"Well, there's another new development—sort of," Channel Island Audio's Dusty Vawter said. "We've upgraded our $599 VDP-1 by essentially removing the entire circuit board and replacing it with a better circuit."

How much does it cost?

"The product stays the same price and every unit prior to the 2.1 version is eligible for the upgrade."

How do people find out about the upgrade?

"We announced it on www.audiocircle.com and now we're going through our warranty cards and notifying our customers—and I guess people will read about it on your blog."

One can only hope.



"What's new?" We'd just walked into the Channel Islands Audio room and spotted Dusty Vawter.

"Nothing really," he said.

"What's this?"

"Oh, that's the world's smallest AC conditioner, the XDC2 ($299). It removes DC from your AC, which is the leading cause of transformer chatter."

So there is something new?

"Well, I don't like to brag."

And here we thought that's what CES was for.

In addition to XDC-2, we also showed the new VHP-2 Headphone Amplifier and VPC-3 Passive Controller at CES.
These are updated versions of the previous models and now contain Alps Blue Velvet potentiometers, gold-plated circuit boards, and silver soldered construction. Prices remain $349 for VHP-2 and $299 for VPC-3.

The Stereophile report states we replace the VDA-2 circuit board ,which is not true...we modify the existing one. There is no cost for this mod... see http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=33883.0 for more info.
