VAC preamps - too expensive?

But the remote doesn’t offer input selection capability so this is inappropriate for home theater use.

It’s very sad because I wanted to buy it but the family would be hard sell since the remote can’t change the inputs on it and also because it probably would be located in a separate adjoining room with the other gear.

But this company is indifferent to this modification and doesn’t wanna come into the modern age for whatever reason

Anyone changed the fuse in the Master preamp (same as others?)? Does the tray come all the way out? If not, does the fuse insert from the bottom? I changed it a couple of months ago, probably before I put it in my cabinet, but am not succeeding now and don't want to use more force until I know more. Thanks,

I just searched  VAC 200iQ amplifier,and see a  guy buy new with $14000 and sold $7600.

I just can't put the linking into here,it might have some limitation with forums.

It is the current model,so it won't be long time.

Is that to say this products with  value for money is not good?

Am I right?

That is absolutely normal and expected used pricing behavior for a $14,000 MSRP tube amp which has been out for 7 years.

Vac amplifiers are over priced.
