Cool looking but I have to question the prices...  There is no good reason why they should cost what they do.  Do they have magic fairies that come out and have aural sex with your ears when played?  Shy of that, those prices are for bragging rights only.

Josh,
I agree with you
They make great stuff, but I have to agree with the braggin rights bit.
A lot of audiophilia is just that.  It almost becomes competition. Sort of like the guys who drive Hummers(big truck, little pee pee) :lol:You don't have to spend that kind of money to have great sound.

Yea pretty spot on, one of the few things in the world I would not argue about the cost. Though I cant afford one right now they are sensational.

Art,

Yes I did. Put an hour or so on it and so far I'm really pleased. So much high frequency information - Not tipped up but so much detail, yummy.

More info to come in a PM.

Well I would have to question statements like this. Have you ever sat down and listened to a full Vac system? I have and it is bar none the best sounding system I've ever
heard...period.  Ever built anything even close to the quality of a Vac? I have not but I have seen the quality of work and parts in them and it is incredible and
the sound quality presented by Vac gear shows this. Vac is out of my price range but I'm not going to take shots at them because I can't afford the gear.
Please don't take this as an attack as that is not my intention but statements such as this smell of the "If I can't afford it then it isn't worth it" syndrome.
Don't we all brag on our gear no matter the price level? There are members here who do own Vac gear, why insult?  :dunno:

Mike,
I've considered buying a Hummer several times and it has nothing to do with the size of my "pee pee", I ain't a skeered to break out a ruler anyday!  :wink:

On another note; the new Vac gear looks fantastic, I love the look of the new Music Blocks! :thumb:

I had the pleasure to audition a Vac Avatar and I've never heard jazz sound better.  You could say it was almost like sex to your ears  :wink: There was also a 3d quality to the sound that I haven't experienced the same with any other system that I've heard.

Regarding the prices; yep they are way, way too expensive even for the great sound.   However you can still buy an Avatar on the used market reasonably though that may change since it's no longer a production model which is a shame.

I owned a VAC preamp for a number of years. The price of their gear has gone up significantly over time. They make really fine equipment that is capable of getting at the heart of the matter. Others are capable of this too though. It is what it is.....

Well Marvin, since I like Vac gear and have considered buying a Hummer I guess I'd best opt for the "small". :duh:
