Pros & Cons
Pros
The vt-2 has subwoofers on one port and medium and tweeter on another, so two ports in parallel which i guess is 4 ohms. Plenty of power for my 90db/watt paradigm studios. The speakers contain a single full range driver rated at a sensitivity of 84db ... Read More
Don't hesitate to purchase from this seller. I disagree with other reviewers that say to retube it immediately. Anyone wanting to discuss this or tube hifi in general feel free to email dave dot unlimited at gmail dot com.
I bypass the chromecast's native dac (which is actually pretty darn good) via a mini-toslink and optical cable that feeds one of the two dacs i smsl sanscrit 6th 32 bit/192khz or parasound zdac. Fluance turntable and vincent pho 701 pre amp.
The sound from this amp is so clear, better definition, better separation, and better soundstage too. All these set amplifiers have high harmonic distortion when measured but because it is primarily even order they sound good. There is no hiss/noise/d... Read More
Tung sol tubes and also the goldlion 77. Pangea power cord. Tempted to get a quad of the psvane el34b for my st70 now.
Cons
This failure of an amp definately going back. Considering how much this cost, only getting a few months worth of use on it was exremely disappointing.
Highlights
Quality
+ good quality pcb, no point-to-point wiring.
+ very good sound quality; el34 tube magic for your listening pleasure.
I was not able to live with the hum as i often listen at low levels and it was too obvious.
Being the first tube amp i've owned, i can't speak for the quality of the tubes themselves or provide a relative comparison.
Competitiveness
Right now, i'm just using an at lp60 turntable but once i upgrade that, i'm confident things will sound even better.
I started noticing a 60hz hum when no music was playing or in soft passages.
The gemtune x-1 is still being broken in with playing time.
My vinyl and cd's have long been gathering dust and i now exclusively stream tidal hifi via a google chromecast audio.

However i dont hear a lot of forward projection past the plane of my speakers
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Maybe its a limitation of my speakers doubt it or the fact that im not using a 2000 dac or playing vinyl
