     VRD Amplifiers

 

My long awaited, first all-new product is now being offered: The "NOS Valves VRD." There are now 28 sets of these new amps out in the field, since their initial release in September 2004. Initial response was overwhelmingly positive, and with a number of these amps now being in the hands of customers for 14 months, the level of satisfaction has only become greater. A new page will be added and devoted to these amps very soon, so stay tuned. Until then, here are some pictures and the complete specifications. The price of these totally custom built amplifiers is $3199.00 a pair. Previous NOS Valves customers, and active Klipsch, AudioKarma, and Steve Hoffman forum members are eligible for a discount; e-mail me for details.

Of course, vintage repair and modification of HH Scott, Fisher, Dynaco, EICO, Heathkit, Pilot, etc., and even modern tube gear, is still and always will be my main business here at NOS Valves.
