DMax Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Item: Audio Research VS110 Tube Power Amplifier Location: MelbournePrice: $2650Item Condition: MintReason for selling: Still trying to fund for an upgraded power amp (slowly getting there )Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal (plus 3% fee please), COD OnlyExtra Info: Bought this from a fellow SNA member in Melbourne about a year ago. Really don't want to see it go but really need the funds to upgrade. Lovely tubey sound with great bass. It also comes with a cage as an extra gift Not too many hours have been put into the amp as I do not get to listen to music that much now days, so the tubes should all still be fine. The previous owner has also re-tubed them before the sale. Plenty of power to drive my Magnepan 3.7s and Typani IVa. Here is the original sale thread.

Gremrock Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Lovely Amp, but throw that ugly cage in the bin! Where to from here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMax Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Lovely Amp, but throw that ugly cage in the bin! Where to from here? LOL thanks. It does look better without the cage but it does come in handy and extra protection is always nice Upgrading to a SS amp with much higher power Was planing to keep this one so one SS and one Tube; 2 different flavours depends on the mood if you know what I mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremrock Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I used to have 3 sets of amps on hand. I know exactly what you mean, but I found the valves just too nice to go back to the other offerings.. If I had $$$ I'd take this for a spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
