Well, who knows about this Tube Preamp. Seems high quality, a true bargain, $400. or make offer, 14 day returns. https://www.ebay.com/itm/133811387494?hash=item1f27c7bc66:g:FCwAAOSwJNBg5g9E manual is informative http://akdatabase.org/AKview/albums/userpics/10007/Sound%20Valves%20VTP101%20Owners%20Manual.pdf it’s processor loop would allow out to self-powered sub, back in, then out to a low powered amp that would not need to make low bass, the easiest way to use a small tube amp. keeps heat, size, weight, cost lower, and gives more placement options. old thread here was complimentary, no problems mentioned https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/sound-valves-vtp-101-preamp I found this about blown fuses, blown transformer, not sure if a common problem, does anyone know? https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/sound-valves-vtp-101-need-help.772880/ ........................ I wrote the owner/seller, it's his unit "Hi, I found some good stuff about this unit, then I found comments about blown fuses, and eventual blown transformer. Does this unit have any history of blown fuses, or transformer? I see no top vent, did this unit had good open space at it's side vents, above, behind etc, during your years of use? thanks, Elliott" |
sellers answer about the Sound Valves Tube Preamp: "Hi, I remember sending it for repair under warranty once. But I don't recall the details - but I don't think it was a blown transformer. Also note that this is 101 and not 100. This was in my 3 tier audio rack ( one for amp, one for pre-amp and one for CD player) with lots of free space. I always baby my audio equipment." |
