Yes that may have sounded confusing. ..
I can pick up a line 3 at 1/3 the cost of the VAC and maybe slip in a thousand dollars in caps, tubes and a few other parts to smoothen out the top....the $1000 in upgrades is equal to the money lost in taxes/exchange rate alone...
I would rather do that then give my money to the government and banks. ."

I don't think I've ever said anything like this before, but the money would be better off going to the government. You're willing to buy a discontinued preamp that you don't really care for how it sounds, buy a thousand dollars in parts, have it modified by someone less qualified to save a small amount of money, all in the hopes of smoothing out the top end? Your chance of success here is pretty slim. I know you won't listen to reason, but if you were to just spend more money on a preamp you like, factor in the exchange rate and pay the extra taxes, there's a 99.9% chance you'll actually spend less money and get a better sounding preamp.

Before you take offence and come back with some type of reply, take into account that you did come here and ask for advice. My post is just my honest opinion and is not meant to be an insult. Also, aside from you, I would like to see how many people will disagree with me on this.

I agree with you, that makes a lot of sense to me. I don't understand why you would buy a cheaper product that sounds bad, spend more money on it and hope that will fix the problem. He's just talking about a parts swap, the design of the preamp will remain the same.
Putting lipstick on a pig doesn't change the fact that it's still a pig.

If you hate paying government fees that bad, drive down to the States and pick up the unit yourself.

That's what you took away from reading my post and you're calling me an idiot. You need to find someone to re-read the post to you and explain what it means.
