Congrats to buyer and seller.

Anyone want to treat themselves for Christmas? Amazing amps here folks.

Thanks CECAA850

Thanks very much for finding this and calling it to our attention!

I personally just blow them off weekly with compressed air cans to keep the dust off.

Thanks for the offer. I’m only selling these to stir up some cash while my wife is out of work. I would much prefer an outright sale. I’ll have to think about it.

It's hiding in the list of upgrades, but yes, thanks for mentioning Schu. I retyped the list of upgrades, so hopefully now everyone can see. The Magnequest transformers are a HUGE upgrade with these. Rodney put nearly $7K into these, best I remember. I sold my other VRD's when I heard these amps. The increased bandwidth with the custom Magnequest iron produces some of the best low end presence I've ever experienced with tube amplification. I've owned a lot of gear over the years, and these VRD's with the custom iron are special. I've just got too much going on right now and could use the cash for other things in life that have taken priority. If they sell, I'm going to miss them.

SOLD After much thinking and debating, I have decided to put my VRD amps up for sale. These were A1UC's amps (Rodney), and he invested a lot with Craig (NOS Valves) building these incredible amplifiers. He took great care of them, as did I. There are a lot of upgrades that have to be heard to be appreciated. Some of the upgrades are as follows... PRP resistor and power supply bypass cap upgrade Jupiter caps Grain match front of amplifiers Upgraded footers *Custom Magnequest transformers* Cardas speaker binding posts Furutech RCA input jacks Furutech IEC's Included with the VRD's are some nice tubes I personally love with these amps... Mullard CV4003/12AU7 boxplate pair- Kevin Deal (Upscale Audio) platinum grade Telefunken 12AX7 smooth plate pair - Andy Bouman (Vintage Tube Services) Electro-Harmonix KT-88 quad Sovtek 5AR4 pair of rectifiers I purchased these from Rodney this past summer and have enjoyed them immensely. I took immaculate care of them and the thought of selling them is not something I want to do. My wife and I are having our second child, due in January, and I've decided to sell of some of my toys to help out financially when my wife is out of work. Original boxes, packing, manual, power cords, etc. are all included. We are a smoke/pet free home. Please message me for more pics if interested. $4000 + shipping with the selected set of tubes mentioned above.

I have a nice Burson Audio PI-160 integrated. Made in Australia and sounds great. Built like a tank in a solid aluminum inclosure. No optical though. I would sell it for $800.

Always wanted to see and hear one of these. GLWS

I didn't notice a hiss with my Peach II. It was a later model with the SS rectification, all the latest mods, and used a 6H30 tube. I personally think a lot of the noise rumors have to do with the 6922 family of tubes. I LOVE the sound of these tubes, but finding quiet ones is not an easy task. And when you do find them, they are expensive. I have a Super Merlin right now. It is tube rectified, uses a 6H30 and still nearly as quiet as my SS Audio Research preamp. I think for $925 shipped, this is a great deal for someone. For anyone in doubt, these preamps sound great. Very musical. Frankly, I'm surprised it is still here.

This is a nice rack. I would also be interested if Shipping were an option

Oh yea, great match with VRD’s! 👍😀

I owned a later model Peach II a while back, and I don’t remember it using a tube rectifier. . Best I remember, Mark went over to SS rectification in the later years of Juicy Music.

Music is medicine, right? I would recommend it for hypertension anyway, lol. The only side effect is potential acute decrease in wallet size.

Yep, exactly what I use in mine. I would jump on these if I hadn't recently bought a fresh pair a few months back.

Lol, I hear ya man. We have another baby on the way due in January. So yea....that's where I'm at and the reason for selling.

These are back for sale...I'm having a hard time justifying two pair of VRD's. Surely some of the best amps you will hear at this price point.

I am selling my DH Labs Q-10 signature speaker cables in bi-wire configuration if interested. 8ft length. BFA bananas on speaker ends and spades on speaker end. Let me know if interested.

Any interest in the C32? It's a nice full-function preamp, especially for $900 bucks. It's very warm/rich sounding and would be a great match for those who have Klipsch Heritage speakers. The EQ is a nice feature to have at your disposal, along with the variable loudness control. I know some purists hate the thought of a loudness control, but it is very handy late at night when playing music softly. It really fills in the music at low volumes and makes the tunes sound more rich and punchy. No issues with the preamp. It's a nice piece.

.

Yea, I'm also confused. I may just be better to pull them off the market at this point and consider keeping these. These not selling has me scratching my head, but such is life. I guess a lot of folks have no idea what kind of sound quality is represented here for the price.

No one in need of VRD's with Auricaps? Bad time of year maybe?
