Your post is binding. (RRR pun intended) Listing a price will save you time and separate the buyers from the tire kickers. Where are you located Craig? 1 Quote
Schu Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Is that cherry? Looks like one of Craigs price sensitive builds... You should list an asking price so your expectation and that of a perspective buyer more inline are you the original owner? I still need to take a look at the pictures when I get home tonight. 1 Quote

muel Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 That's a good price for VRD mono blocks. I see you have the circuit board version. There was a resistor at the power supply caps that had a value change at some point. I don't remember the details but Craig could sort that out. I have it in my notes somewhere. It allowed you to set the bias a little lower to save tubes a bit of wear but with the same awesome VRD sound! Hearing VRD's for the first time is a lot of fun! 1 Quote

Maximus89 Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 @Born2Rock Craig, get Dean to hook me up with some Chorus II networks with a discount since you have 3 of his . "Loyal customer deal" You should sell his old ones and have him build new ones with Jupiter caps for your KHorns and LS center. We can do a large quantity order I'd also suggest getting him to tame the high end of your RF-7 II's but you're deaf and love it the way it is! 1 Quote
Born2RockU Posted January 26, 2018 Author Posted January 26, 2018 I dont have any Chorus II's... BUT not a bad idea for the KHorns + LS Center. 1 Quote
