Thanks , here are the upgraded parts I had Craig add , I'm sure I really didn't need them since the VRD's get awesome reviews in a stock configuration the way it is .

Schu Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Superb... whats the verdict? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1UC Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 well... what does the jury say about them A1UC Sorry for the late reply , but I have around 10 hours on these now and they keep getting better . I really focused on the sound of these amps to see if I should maybe swap tubes but everything so far sounds just perfect . I tire kicked these amps many months and finally took a chance on them , all I can say they are worth every cent just awesome . I was worried about power 65W but I don't need more than 1/4 of the power to drive my speakers 85.5dB . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1UC Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Superb... whats the verdict? wrong picture of inside see current , I ended up going wit the new style caps at the last minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
