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.
