What is ”Whither bound” @John Gallup? (they’re headed somewhere in the outskirts of Brisbane .) They are VTL Compact 100s. I got em used from “Ski Buddy Mike” (SBM). $200 in around he early to mid 90s when the PSE gave up the smoke. SBM has went through a few amp for the Maggies, and is on Sanders now. (I am using his old PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP now… like a bottom feeder collecting scraps.) I any case VTL charged $750 (maybe $500) to rehabilitate em in the mid 90s. And then one day, one of the amps was pulsing like a scene from Alien… and I dropped the off at VTL again they were fixed under warranty. Luckily the VTL HQ was off I10 or I60, so I just needed to head to BBL early enough on a Friday to get there before they closed, en route to a ski weekend. I just had them moved to the 220v transformer tap, and they seem a touch grainy compared to the PrimaLuna… but the tubes are from (way) back in the day. Maybe it is that burn in thing I always hear about? Probably they would benefit from new tubes and a bias check. And I still need to find the grills before I ship em to QLD… somewhere in the outskirts of Brisbane . Edited February 3 by Holmz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
