VTL ST 150, Audio Research VT 100, mk. II

I think the VTL ST150 is still in production, so you could buy a new one. I think I would do that instead of taking a chance on something used and out of production. Does anyone know MSRP. I am considering going with something from VTL. I like audio res, but there are no dealers near me and i dont really like anything they make right now. I had the VT100 and loved it. I almost went for the new VS115 but thye price hike put it beyond what i want to spend right now.

I have an old style ST-150. I am driving a pair of GMA Continuum C3 HDs. This is a great combo and the amp has plenty of grunt and finesse all at once. So far it has been extremely reliable and the output tubes hold their bias. I would recommend it to anyone.

Sideways move but its nice to move when you got a jones,cheers,B

I agree with USBlues's comment. Sideways move.
Get a tech to replace the 0.68uF Wondercaps with oil caps and you will get rid of a lot of the misty dull sonic signature. Worry not this mod has nothing to do with the fragile output stage.

BTW since its an old SA220 just be very careful when turning it on and dont ever let the speaker wires short or overdrive the amp.

Thanks everyone. My usually trusty Counterpoint is in need of a repair that will equal or exceed the price I paid for it. Since my post, I have also discovered some interest in Quicksilver and Rogue along with the VTL and ARC. It depends on what comes on the market at a good price. I will continue to consider you input.
