Schu Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Where did you get your VRDs at? For reference... . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRL_Audio Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 That is a beaut. The VRD's, picked them up in Ft Wayne IN but got the lead from a AK member. They are about 4 years old. I am the third owner. Just seems right to mate them with the NBS pre. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1101 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Very very nice. Looks similar to mine. But mine is line stage only in Hickory and matches my VRDs which are also hickory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1101 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Mine is 6H30 High Z and 12AT7 low Z. 5AR4 rectifier. Only 3 tubes. My 2 coupling caps are Auricaps. Craig built in a tape monitor loop and switch. I can use an EQ which I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRL_Audio Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Schu - I think I have your old VRD's. Perhaps I can match it with that fine NBS example posted here. Edited December 15, 2019 by MRL_Audio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- you have one of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRL_Audio Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Perhaps the pair in the front. Burl walnut. Edited December 24, 2019 by MRL_Audio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRL_Audio Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 Hoping the holidays brought some new items and possibly freeing a NBS preamp somewhere.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmoxley Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Call Craig and beg! Maybe you can talk him into making just one more. NBS Pre + VRD ST + La Scalas + F112 is PB&J for your ears. Just meant to go together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmoxley Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Sorry to tease with more photos, just trying to give you some hope that these are indeed out there and sound really amazing. Does anyone know how many Craig was able to build originally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 He's got one last case... but he's always said that no one could ever offer him enough money for it. You could always try and source a juicy music/peach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
