This preamp may well be the sweet spot in the VAC line-up. The Renaissance has a stunning line stage and phono stage to match. Less than a year ago, I had it sent down to Kevin and Brent for a complete check-up and had them upgrade the phono stage, which is now switchable between 8416 and 6922 tubes.
I am selling only due to a massive system downsizing and reconfiguration. I have had a number of amazing preamps over the years, including the Doshi Alaap, the First Sound Presence, the TRL Dude, and the Audio Horizons, and this is the best of the bunch, at least to my ears.
Of course, it is an excellent match with the VAC Renaissance 70/70 Mk III, which I am also selling. I can make someone a great package deal on the two units, if interested.
I will find some time this weekend to add photos, and will be happy to answer any questions. Buyer pays shipping and 4 percent Paypal. I am happy to accept checks or money orders and will ship as soon as they clear. If you live within driving distance of western North Carolina, you are welcome to arrange pick-up.
