Super low price on a great amp that does not carry an exaggerated retail price like many high end pieces. My price is only 1/3rd of new ($4500) and the amp is in fabulous condition. Upgraded Hifi tuning fuses and extra NOS tubes supplied with other fuses and more exotic tubes available at cost. This is an exceptional amp. Although I just bought it and hate to sell it, I have to downsize. Price on this piece is as low as it can go.

Up for sale is an hybrid amplifier that is near impossible to find used and a stellar performer. Per previous owner (grannyring): I love tube amps and have owned at least two dozen over the past 20 years and listened to another dozen or more in my home. Bottom line is this, this amp has "it" and what I mean is it plays beautiful music without the hassles of numerous power tubes etc...
I have used this amp in rotation with two SET amps. One Massive 845 amp and a set of 300b mono-block amps. It always pleased me and I was in no rush to put the other amps back in rotation.
Many of us know how great Lector CD players and dacs are. They have been highly reviewed for years. Their Zoe preamp is also very special as I owned it. Based on this reputation, I purchased this amp. This amp turned out to be a real gem and few know about here in the states.
It has been treated very well and looks spectacular. See the pictures. It comes with 4 sets of tubes all NOS so you're in business for decades. It will be packed in the original Lector box and packing with the owners manual.
I actually preferred this hybrid amp to several high dollar hybrid amps I have owned thru the years. I feel it is more real and musical sounding than the Aesthetix Atlas amp I had for over a year. It bettered the $7500 CJ Hybrid amp I used for several months.
I know it is little known here in the U.S and thus my low, low price.
Here is some additional information from the Lector site. Please excuse the english/grammar as the company is Italian.
Thanks for looking.
VM-200 HYBRID POWER AMPLIFIER
Stereo hybrid (tube/mosfet) power amplifier
Lector proudly introduces the all new VM200 hybrid power amplifier featuring an innovative direct coupled circuit from tube to mosfet. No any coupled capacitors is on signal path! This new concept offers a transparent and rich dynamics sounds performance.
A lot of new innovative technologies and solution has this power amplifier rated at 100 w per channel:
only two stages from input to output (first stage by triode and second stage by pentode)
dc coupled design from tube to mosfet without any capacitors!
triode / pentode tube driving the mosfet in pure class A
low feedback design set to only at 10% db
The power supply employ four stages and two toroidal power supply : shunt regulator for tube , hi-energy reserve capacitors for output mosfet, also the tube-filaments are supply on d.c. for lowest noise floor. The electronics and mechanical parts are selected as all premium grade components : polypropylene capacitors, toroidal hi-energy power transformer (2) , metal foil and tantalium resistors, 1.5 mm thickness steel chassis box, 8 mm thickness plexiglass front panel.
For better quality sound reproduction the output device don't use any type of protection as limiting the current so it is possible to drive low impedance loudspeakers with very good stability and energy power reserves .
Sonic performance delivers pure enjoyment: thanks to the direct signal drive mosfet regulator by tube circuits. What you listen is just the sound of your favorite tubes operating with exceptional linearity in a class A gain stage.
