Normal 1 2008-08-27T18:35:00Z 3 803 4578 RoRe, LLC 38 9 5622 11.1280 Normal 0 0 Hello, and thank you for dropping by to have a look at this trio of rare VAC Phi components. Either you know what this is as you have a DNA strand askew or you're bewildered.. Our lifestyle change has not had me sitting and enjoying my music as I once had so we feel it is time to move this equipment on to someone who will use it... This auction is for all three pieces, VAC Phi 2.0 Master Control Preamplifier and a Left and Right PHI 220 Beam Power Mono Power Amplifier 220 watts each. ALSO included is the VAC remote and all power supplies without power cords as you probably have your own. I have not used and do not know if I have the connector cable to turn on both amps at once. I have all books and boxes inclusive of tube boxes. VAC Phi 2.0 Master Control Preamplifier Fully differential triode line stage with transformer coupling and passively equalized triode phono stage. 10 inputs: MM phono, MC phono, six line (one may be fully balanced), cinema, tape monitor (buffered loop). Outputs: 2 sets RCA main outputs, 2 sets XLR differential main outputs, 1 set RCA tape out. Separate power supply. Audio chassis 12.5" x 12.5" x 6.5" MSRP: $15,000.00 USD PHI VAC Phi 220 Beam Power Mono Power Amplifiers 220 watts output into 2, 4, or 8 ohms. Fully balanced XLR and regular RCA inputs. Zero feedback (switchable). VAC Power Tube Sentry protection circuit. Separate power supply. Triode switchable. Audio chassis 12.5" x 12.5" x 12.5" - Left and Right MSRP: $9950.00 USD each or $19,900.00 USD for the pair.. I have a lot of higher resolution photos and can take photos of whatever you want. Condition is perfect working, function, and cosmetic as you would expect. I have not Audiogon'ed yet but will do so if there are not offers popping in. I feel the fixed price BIN figure for all three of these pieces is fair considering the handful of these in the world but if you wish to make an offer please do so... The system has been used for vinyl listening off our VPI Super Scout Master plus with a Shelter 90x and some digital via a Wadia stack. Output to Sonus Faber's. The system is stunning and I would like to sell everything all at once but doubt anyone wants a ready sorted system as you tweakers enjoy the journey... HOWEVER if you are interested in a balanced system let me know, most of my cabling is Golden Reference and like all this stuff was ridiculously expensive. For now just AMP and PREAMP here on eBay and my feedback should speak for itself, I won't screw around and will never waste your time... all original shipping boxes, super heavy duty BUT I would perfer a local delivery or pickup. If I can manage to get you to drive up here I will throw in the massive 3" thick GRANITE slabs I had made for our VAC equipment as you can see if a few of the photos.. Freaking heavy so no way to ship. It is possible for me to deliver to the Portland area once everything has been paid for... however I will be traveling considerably over the next two months so it is a maybe depending upon your needs... Buyer will be responsible for all shipping and insurance charges and international buyers will need to let me know their intentions before they can bid and you will need to arrange pick up so don't be in a hurry... I would like to not ship outside of USA but the exchange rate does make it attractive, so please communicate and I will do my best for real buyers. VAC TEXT: One may be forgiven for focusing initially on the unique and elegant aesthetics of the PHI components. Rather than being hidden, the tubes are celebrated behind the stylish edge-lit glass fascia and beveled glass top, which also keep children and pets at a safe distance from the tubes. With minute attention to detail, illumination is monitored and varied in response to ambient lighting conditions. The chassis itself, with its sweeping smooth corners and contours, is precision milled at VAC from the highest quality non-magnetic aluminum and finished in nickel hue, which is beautiful, extremely durable, and provides good rejection of radio frequency interference. Truly, PHI Series is a work of visual art. The sound of the PHI builds on the heritage of the legendary VAC Renaissance Series and Signature Series, with further improvements in materials, circuit refinement, and optimization. These hand assembled circuits are the results of several thousands of hours of careful voicing; such fanatical attention to detail is the crucial factor in transcending mere "high fidelity" and all of its artificial terminology. With VAC, all of the "high fidelity" attributes are present, but in a way totally subservient to the intention and emotion of the music. All PHI components, including the power amplifiers, use separate power supplies equipped with cables six feet in length. This allows the electrical, magnetic, and vibrational fields of the power transformers and the switching artifacts of the power rectifiers to be kept far away from the precious audio signal. Added to this is twice the high voltage energy storage of the Renaissance power amplifiers, multiple choke pi filtering, and a new grounding paradigm. Not only is there a marked increase in sound quality, but the noise floor is reduced by an order of magnitude to less than 0.3 millivolts at the speaker terminals, less than the output of a moving coil phonograph cartridge! Never before have you experienced such purity of sound in reproduced music. Standard 12 volt power triggers are also provided for use with other brands, while the iVAC data buss may be used to coordinate everything from power to illumination levels. Of course, PHI provides numerous remote control functions and system configuration settings, allowing convenience in normal use, and easy integration into more elaborate remote control schemes. Thank you,
