INTRODUCTION
The VAC Standard Preamplifier is an all new design, employing three Class A triode tube
sections per channel in a direct-coupled two stage circuit. This simple, elegant design
provides great speed, detail, punch, and musicality. Its moderate gain structure and low
output impedance provides an excellent match with a wide range of popular power
amplifiers.
The robust and massive external power supply makes available an extraordinary degree of
headroom, and keeps all e.m.f. fields and rectifier switching noise away from the audio
signal, thus preserving both the power and delicacy of the music.
The chassis is rigid and non-magnetic.
Optional features include triode MM phono stage, triode MC phono stage, and remote
control.
