Audio Research VT-200 mkII rare dealer trade-in

For your consideration is an excellent condition ARC VT-200 MKII Amplifier. I am selling this on behalf of Audio Dimensions, a hi-fi shop in metro-Detroit, in business for forty years. This is a trade-in unit; originally purchased from the store by a long-time customer.  

This unit was checked out by Audio Research in January 2015 and up to factory spec. There is around 650 hours on the tubes. 


This amplifier is a classic Audio Research monster. I am including shipping in the selling price to streamline the process - it will have to be sent via freight on a pallet. The box is huge. While this amp is a joy to listen to, it's not a joy to lift! At 118 lbs, it's a two-person lift, but at least it has front and rear handles! 


I'm rating the amp as a "7" to be ultra-conservative. There's a tiny green discoloration on the upper-right of faceplate, as photographed. Other than that it's super clean and in excellent condition. 
This is the MKII version amp with the JFET input and 6H30 drivers. Output tubes are the proven  6550C, eight per channel. 


This amp will be shipped with original packaging, manual, and power cord.  Please check my feedback and buy with confidence. Please feel free to check out the store website at www.AudioDimensions.com or call the store at 248-549-7320 and ask for Marty. Thanks for looking!
