Audio Research VS-110 FREE TUBES + FREE SHIPPING + FREE INSURANCE + FREE PAYPAL!!!

If you know this amp then you know its reputation! One of the very finest amps ever made and this example performs flawlessly! I am the original owner and purchased this from an authorized dealer in Santa Monica, CA. I still have the original sales receipt and I am happy to include it with your purchase, by request. My only reason for selling is due to the recent opportunity to upgrade along the ARC chain.

Includes BRAND NEW output tubes plus gain stage tubes!!! Everything you need - ready to go! Plus original packaging, yellow bias adjusting tool, tube vibration dampener rings, power cord, extra original fuses, & manual. The unit includes a matched and balanced set of 6N1P's for the gain stage with approx. 2000-2500 hours left (perfect to match the output tube life cycle). Additionally, there is a small scuff on the transformer as seen in the picture but is only noticeable due to the flash on the camera. You can not see it unless you are right by it under normal conditions. Original owner and kept in a child and smoke free environment.

Also, please know that shipping the amp double boxed the way I intend is not only guaranteed to get your purchase to you 100% safe and in the same condition it leaves in, even under the worst conditions, but given the size (31x31x18) and weight (approx. 90 lbs) of the package, also VERY expensive, and I am offering this FREE of charge and including insurance to make certain your prize arrives in perfect order! Purchase with confidence!

TERMS: Tubes, shipping, insurance, and PayPal are included at the asking price ONLY.

Enjoy!

The following copied from Audio Research for your convenience:

Given the enthusiastic response to the appearance and sonic peformance of the VS55, you will be happy to know that a more powerful version of this remarkable amplifier is now available: the VS110, rated at 100 WPC. This brings vacuum-tube musicality as only Audio Research can do it to a new power level and price.

The chassis, circuit layout and feature set of the VS110 are almost identical to the VS55, but scaled up to accomodate the greater power output. The chassis itself measures 17 1/2" W by 19" D, and features an anodized, natural-finish top plate labeled with tube location/type, output-tube bias access points and the inset Audio Research logo. The chassis front holds a rocker-style power switch and green LED "on" indicator. The chassis rear provides the 0-4-8 ohm 5-way binding posts, voltmeter test points for setting bias, a 12V in/out trigger and a detachable 14-gauge A.C. line cord with IEC socket.

There are two matched pair of 6550C output tubes in each channel, fed by two 6NIP triode driver/followers, which in turn are fed by a single 6NIP input tube. Storage capacity of the bulk power supply is double that of the VS55 and uses the same type of fast, low-ESR Nichicon® capacitors. The simplicity and purity of the audio circuit is a proven performer, but now it can deliver more power for larger speakers in larger rooms.

Like the VS55, the VS110 ships in one color /chassis configuration, black with natural anodized top plate. A perforated cage-type cover is optional, and must be ordered as a separate item.

The sonic signature of the VS110 is very much like that of the VS55, but with more robust dynamics, greater bass impact and power, and a larger soundstage. With so much similarity between these two amplifiers, choosing the right amplifier is simple. The look, the feature set, the circuit types are identical: it is simply a question of how much power you need or want. The VS110 combines classic tube-amplifier appeal with robust power, genuine musicality and solid value. And don't forget Audio Research's unmatched record for long-term product support - a key measure of keeping customers satisfied, decade after decade.
