Podeschi,
I`ve read good things about the Hegel preamp and hope you`re happy with it.I would say though that you didn`t hear the VAC SIG MK II at anywhere near its best if you only heard the stock tubes. The VAC is capable of an entirely different level of sound with better tubes installed.Hegel appears to be gathering more attention in this country.It would have been interesting to compare the VAC with better tubes to the Hegel P 30.
Regards,
