FYI Guido-
The Renaissance/Ren Sig Volume Control Upgrade is being installed on my VAC Ren MK1 as I write this. Though I haven't received the actual bill yet, I was quoted $150 (plus return shipping) by Kevin Hayes.
It is supposed to improve frequency response throughout the range of the control, along with the accuracy and finesse of adjusting the volume level itself.
The VAC guys are heading into 'CES Season', when they get really busy designing new products destined to premier at CES in January. So, Kevin suggested sending my unit in ASAP, or the upgrade could be delayed heavily.
I will report back if it makes a noticeable difference in SQ.
