CES 2013

VAC designer Kevin Hayes took me through his two box "Statement" tubed phono preamp. It has four single-ended and balanced inputs, adjustable gain of 52,70 and 76dB, capacitive and resistive loading, mono switch, zero feedback, transformer inputs for MC, and an outboard massive power supply. Both the chassis construction and internal parts quality border on the fanatic as you would expect for a $50,000 phono preamplifier!
