Item is a Dared VP-20 Integrated Tube Amplifier system. The total system consists of two (2) 6L6 monoblocks with a separate power supply block. Each monoblock as its own volume control. I used my system with a hot-rodded Dynaco PAS-3 preamplifier, but feel the Dareds have enough gain to be connected directly to the output signal of any modern CD player.

These amps are in PHENOMENAL condition. Only selling because I have a Sound Valves VTA-70i, a Dynaco ST-70, a pair of McIntosh MC40 monoblocks, .... A person can only use but so many amplifiers.
