JE AUDIO VL 19, FULLY BALANCED VACUUM TUBE PRE AMP

A superb vacuum tube preamp from JE AUDIO. JE AUDIO is one of the best electronics manufactures in HONG KONG. See numerous rave reviews of their various preamps, and amps on line. THE VL 19 is a fully balanced preamp, utilizing the super tube 6h30. Tubes (4 total), were recently replaced, and should last for another 3 to 4 thousand hours. Preamp is in excellent condition. This unit needs to be seen in person. The build quality would be outstanding even for a 30K pre amp. It is made out of sheets of anodized aluminum, minimum of 1/4" thick, and up to 1/2" thick in portions of the face plate. Comes with a full feature remote. Unit has a very smooth, and three dimensional quality to it (what tubes do best), but yet is very fast,. No sluggish typical tube bass here.

IT originally replaced a MODWRIGHT LS100, a fine tube line stage, but the JE is clearly in a different league. I have to many preamps at the moment so some of the toys have to go. Listed unit as an 8 ,but easily could be rated a 9 on AGON.
