jumia:VAC pricing is not a marketing ploy. It is what goes into the chassis that sets it apart from a myriad of other high-end products, plus the proprietary circuitry. No one upgrades from VAC to...anything - except VAC!

VAC preamps - too expensive?
No @jumia you cannot change inputs on the VAC remote. It has 3 buttons (mute, volume up/down) which does not have an input button. Also, the HT bypass is not changed by the input selector. There is a “Cinema” knob on the upper right corner of the preamp which you turn to select HT bypass. It works very well for my Theta Casablanca IVa with D3 Xtreme DAC’s. It’s fascinating that you would keep the VAC in a separate room from your HT. That must be one long pair of interconnects or speaker cables that you intend to use. A VAC would also be quite a jump from your Schiit Freya+, and you may have to budget wisely for those cables of yours. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/tube-preamp-enhancement-of-ht-processor-sound https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/what-do-2500-speaker-cables-sound-like |
Kmmd, so whats your point? U seem to,have a problem with my comment. its a side room on opposite side of wall. Quite nice. Even if the vac box was visible its still super annoying remote lacks input capability. They go to trouble of doing a bypass special button which seems kinda pointless as input selector is sufficient. but then what do i know just a dumb guy willing to shell out $25k for an electronics box. |
