Thanks as always for reading my ads. >>If you want me to reply, I need your first and last name and actual email--or your Audiogon user name. I travel, so it might take me a day to get back to you. Comes with original box and factory tubes. Will be double boxed for safe shipping. This particular example of the ARC Vs55 is in lovely condition. The GREAT virtue of this amp is that it puts only 425V on the plates--thus--tubes last a long time. This is one of the last all-tube-no-SS parts (as I understand) from ARC, so it sounds warmer than their typical later gear. This amp has had a very easy life, spent powering super efficient Klipschorn speakers (105 dB 1W / 1M efficiency)and Cornwall speakers. I've learned--much to my surprise--that high quality, moderately high power works so much better than you might think on Klipsch Heritage or other HE speakers. This amp was virtually dead quiet on 98 dB Ver.1 Corns! This VS55 has tubes purchased directly from ARC; they sound great and have plenty of life left in them (test at ~45 mA +/-5% at 400V--so almost like new testing). The tubes hold a bias perfectly and stably and are very easy to adjust with the rear multimeter probe ports. This unit performs as good as it looks. For a more forward midband, KT88 tube work wonders, and at the low B+, they should last a long time with no issues. You can buy them reasonably priced anywhere. I can provide some at reasonable price to buyer. Shipping from 19380 on buyer. Please, provide your name and email if you want me to reply, and help me avoid scammers. Thanks!!
