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?
