Opinions on VTL preamps

I used to own a 2.5. Really nice preamp. No issues what so ever. Never had the 5.5 but now own a 6.5. Both have been very reliable, no issues. 
The remotes work well. The 2.5s are a steal now for what they go for. 

I' own a 5.5 series 2 signature with phono stage. Its 11 years old now and has performed faultlessly.

 

VTL brings the goods. I slightly prefer CJ, but both are excellent and VTL with great speakers can make an end of the line system. 

I’ve had a TL-2.5 preamp for over 20 years.
One minor repair.

Upgraded to the TL-5.5 & I’ve had it for 6 years.
One minor repair.

Both preamps are sonic gems with the right tubes. Amps are too.

MB-125’s - no problems
MB-185’s - incoming

It’s their earlier ones that had problems…

VTL sounds good no doubt....its their customer service that is HORRIBLE.      Worst experience ever dealing with them regarding repair.
