The Vintage Audio Labs is one of the hidden gems in the analog world. Known to be competitive with some very fine phono stages. Here is a link that tells a really cool story.
http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/LCR-RIAA-shootout.htmI ordered this unit with a custom load package, so it has 300, 500, and 1000 ohm loads along with the lower ones for low impedance moving coil cartridges. Has tons of gain choices also, can run very low output moving coil cartridges. This is a wo box design with separate power supply.
This one is only a few weeks old, probably just broken in. It is quiet as can be, with no residual noise. Cosmetics are perfect.
Reason I am letting this one go is I am not going to have a secondary phono system, so this one is unnecessary. And I don't have room in my cabinet to properly locate it like I thought I would. The cost and hassle of sending it back to the factory is a real pain in the butt, so I thought I would place it here and let someone pick up a killer phono stage at a bit of a discount. And you get it much quicker than having to place an order, as it took me 2 months to get this one.
The LCR-1 is a mighty fine phono stage at an affordable price.
