For sale is my excellent VAC Standard Limited Edition preamp that includes MM and MC phono. It is recently back from VAC after a full factory service and upgrade to the LE package which includes premium copper wiring to lower the noise floor and increase transparency and richness. This version of the preamp has two 12AX7 tubes in the phono stage. VAC is short for Valve Amplification Company.I am only selling as I am upgrading to the Signature series. The Valve Amplification Company designs and builds some truly great products and this is definitely a shining example.The preamp comes with a new factory tube set, manual, original packing box and remote.The preamp is 100% operational and sounds fantastic. The build and audio quality are best in class in this price range. Cosmetically there is a rub mark on the top of the preamp (which is hard to see) and a small rub mark on the top of the power supply (also hard to see in the photos).Specifications from VAC:Type: Vacuum tube line stage with external power supply and home theater (direct power amplifier) mode.Options: Remote control for volume & muteDedicated MM phono inputDedicated MC phono input (SUT with 300 ohm input impedance)Line stage preamplifier: Gain: 24 dBMaximum input signal: Essentially infinite (attenuation precedes line stage)Main output: Inverting (you may reverse speaker connections if you wish to compensate, or set your d/a converter to phase reversal)Tape output: Unity gain from selector, non-invertingPhono stage preamplifier: Gain: 37 dB (measured at tape output)Residual noise: 3 mV at output (S/N ratio approx. 69 dB)Overload: 117 mV @ 1 kHz = 8 volts RMS output 460 mV @ 10 kHzFrequency response: RIAA +/- .25 dBNotes: Does not invert absolute phase.Tube compliment:Phono: 2 x 12AX7 low noiseLine stage: 2 x 12AU7/6189A & 2 x 12AX7 (line stage)Everything will ship in the original manufacturers shipping box which is very well made.Shipping via FedEx Ground with full insurance included in the cost.
