MRL_Audio Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) Looking for a nice NOSValves NBS preamp to mate with some VRD mono's I picked up. I mean, if you have the VRD's you must have the NBS to mate with it. At least that's my current thinking. If you have one to offer shoot me a note. I'd really like one to accommodate both MM and MC but that's not a requirement. Also like to try and match to my VRD cases which is burl walnut but again, not a requirement. BTW - I have lurked for some time but am not super active here. I am on AK and use the same name there. Thanks for looking.

joessportster Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Tall Order, Someone else was looking a while back for a LONG TIME, not sure they ever found one or not. Good Luck with the search Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRL_Audio Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) Most postings get to say "Sold" at some point but I get to post "Bought". After an eighteen month search I have finally secured the elusive NBS. Was originally @mmoxley's posted somewhere in this forum. I appreciate the opportunity to mate this with the VRD's I secured in 2019. Unfortunately it will be a bit before I can get the setup installed but I couldn't pass when the opportunity came up.

MRL_Audio Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) As requested... Need a nice cabinet for this. I have reached out to Tom Keady for assistance on that one. My VRD's are burled maple and I'd love to match that. Edited June 30, 2021 by MRL_Audio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Super tube variant... it's interesting, at some point it seems the main volume control was upgraded to a resistor ladder unit from the looks of it. That's a mod I would like to have Craig do on mine at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRL_Audio Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 That is correct. The replacement is a Khozmo with the intention to reduce the noise floor. I was sent the original as well if I ever decided returning to stock was the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Its good to know that there is room in the case for that ladder.... it's the exact module I want to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRL_Audio Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 The board behind it had to be moved moderately to the back of the unit in order to get the Khozmo to fit but it's a minor situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
