Anyone have (or had) a Belles VT-01 V1? Auto un-mute after warmup?


I am hoping someone besides me has owned one of these preamps :)

If you have, can you confirm that the preamp is not supposed to unmute itself automatically after it warms up? Mine doesn't and I have always wondered if that was intentional or if something else was wrong with it. 

 

Thanks!

I'll call to verify, I may be listing it for sale at some point and want to make sure its 100% functional. 

 

Thanks

I have a Belles 22a which succeeded the VT-01.  When turned on, it is automatically muted as the tubes heat up… which takes 60 seconds. It stays muted until you hit unmute on the remote. It can’t be unmuted before the 60 seconds are up.
