Tanx for sharing. It is indeed very cool.
About the Concorde II, someone sung a long time ago " you can't always get what you want..." Maybe you get more luck next time...Keep trying.

this one didn't get away! A VA-200S stereo tube pre amp This is the first one I've ever seen and although google shows a schematic for it, there's only 4 ther hits, she must be truly rare! Seller lives a little over an hour away so I'll do a pickup. Fingers are crossed she's similar quality as her amp brother!

It's indeed a very good looking piece of audio gear. Congrats.
Did you already tried it? What kind of valves it uses?

that's great greg!!!!!

I cant wait to see it with your amps.

thanks guys!1!

alvaro, shes uses 3x 12AU7A, 2x 7025A, and a 6X4... I'll be pickin her up Monday morning!

That's good news.
Dont't you find this Philips unit very similar to VA-200S?

woahhh!!! sorry Alvaro!!

yes, that looks similar to the VA200S, unfortunately after the seller BS'd me on it, and I paid $150 to have it repaired it sounded like arse, I resold her on ebay to a Taiwanese fellow.

BUT, a new addition to the 1 and ONLY Electrohome thread!

I have finally spotted the CHROME PA-100!! Unfortunately it's sold, but I have her serial number!!

this brings the world-wide tally to;

9x mk-1's
8x non mk-1's
1x chrome non mk-1

...and 4 interweb owners searching for a mate for theirs!

Did you get to know why the VA200S sounds bad?

Now, that CHROME PA-100 it really is something. I think it's very similar to the one you have in your avatar. I never saw one in chrome. Not so many valve chrome amps around.

Slowly...you get there.

BTW, did you know that Electrohome has announced that it is planning an orderly wind-up of the corporation.

I dunno why it sounded bad Alvaro, but it was just way too warm sounding for me.

Mr Gary Dumoulin is the fellow I've exchanged emails with in the past... looks like Electrohome will be no more...

boy my eyes hurt!!!

Yeah..............we have to wear shades.
