Does anyone have the new VAC Phi 300 amplifier?

Fplanner2000, I would love to hear your impressions as the amp further breaks in. The McCormack DNA 500 is an amzing amp for a solid state, so your comparisons would be appreciated.

I've got mine in as well and am ecstatic at the beauty of this amp....the low end is full and tight and the mids and highs were always the strength of VAC gear to me and that is as good as ever on the 300.1

I have around 150 hours on mine so am expecting it to keep opening up and improving, wow what a delight this thing is....

Just had my Phi 110 modded by Kevin to include the new input and drive circuitry in the syle of the 300 series. It ships back tomorrow, so I don't know how it sounds yet, but Kevin was really happy with it and all the comments above have me eager to hear it:-)!

Keep us posted if you don't mind, I have a friend with a 110 who may be interested in what that upgrade does....

I've had mine a little over a month and couldn't be happier. My speakers the VR 5 SE's are a little hard to drive on the bottom end. My previous amp the Phi 110 although great with the mids and high's fell short with the low end. I added a Spectron amp to drive the bottoms and that helped. I then knew what my speakers could do. Being a big fan of Vac, (I also have the Renaissance Signature Mk II pre.) I had to order the 300.1, The threads on this subject and speaking with Kevin also helped sway me. Right out of the box everything sounded great, the low end is as good or better than the Spectron's and the sound just keeps improving. Has anyone tried any different tubes or setting's? I have only used the 8 ohm tap and the Ultra Linear mode, I am waiting for it to fully break in before I try any changes.
