VAC preamps - too expensive?


VAC makes great products so i hear.  The Linestage Master lists for $28k and next one down is Signature, for $22k.  Add $12k for a phonostage.

anybody have experience with these units?

its a marketing strategy.  Yeah the $22k Signature is very nice but for just $6k more u get a much better unit. Might as well get the Master.  Pretty clever.  Oh and they offer a line stage called the Statement for $80k and it comes with chrome and a skylight so u can view whats inside.  The Master has most of what the $80k Statement has (no skylight) so i guess the $28k Master seems a great deal.  Pretty clever.

fuzztone hit that nail on the head. Some folks will chime in and say that a $100 pre will sound 95% of anything in that price point. How dare someone spend their own money like that.
@rocray funny and I agree if you like it and can afford it, then go for it.

the rest will be sour grapes.

OP if you got the scratch then itch it.
Thanks for philosophy thoughts, but i am interested in VAC specific pts.

if there is value then no problem, but being overcharged is another matter.
VAC is a great preamp or linestage quality cost money otherwise get an older model used.Jump on one asap!!
