If any of you GASsers are interested in a VTL 5.5 preamp I have mine for sale:

http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?preatube&1234306046&/VTL-5.5-Line-Stage-Preamp-w/-R

The only reason I'm selling is I got a great deal on a 5.5 with phono stage that I couldn't pass up. This is a very well built unit with a huge dual mono power supply that's bigger than a lot of amplifier power supplies. It has great dynamics, headroom, extension and resolution but with the classic 3 dimensionality and wonderful midrange of tubes. All MIT multicap capacitors, switching is through relays. The unit is dead quiet. Remote control does volume, mute, and phase switching. I have two sets of tubes for it and will give a discount to local GAS members. Anyway wishing to hear it, you're welcome to come by for a listen. PM me if you're interested.

HoHoHo and Merry Christmas

This would be a great piece for MerRev. It would keep him happy until next year.
I'd snap it up myself but I'm having to downsize due to my wife joining the jobless.

Yes I was laid off too right after I did this deal. It looks like I'll have it for awhile so you're welcome to give it a spin. You'll have to get in line behind Deadfish though. aa

Those 5.5s don't usually hang around very long. Congrats...
