Just wanna share my first ever tube amp…been using it already for around 50hrs pa lg
The dared vp-20
this version of the vp-20 uses gold plated pcb on the power supply unit while the two quasi monos do not..
accdg to the supplier, it also employs allen Bradley resistors, gold tube sockets on the preamp stage and silver on power tubes.
Has detachachable power cords
Uses 4 6l6 power tubes, 2 12ax7 and 2 12au7 sa preamp stage nya
Output nya is 18 watts per channel
Has 4 and 8 ohm tap
Each monos has only one input and has it owns gain control so pwede na walang preamp
Autobias ang amp so perfect para sa mga katulad ko na walang kamuwang muwang sa tubes pag nag change ng tubes….hehehe
When I opend the box,na shocked ako kasi poging pogi ito for the price I paid.
Mas pogi sya sa personal kesa pics on the net
It is hooked on my MA rs1 and rotel rcd-1070.
I used to connect my rs1 sa Yamaha rx-v2400 pero ngayon sa vp-20 na
I haven’t use any tube amp before so wala akong reference for comparison
The unit showed no signs of hums and hiss sa transformers nya.
The vp-20 has more sparkle on vocals compared to my reciver
It also gave a more lifelike image..as if the singer is in front of me
The sound has become more engaging and mas makapal sya kesa yamaha recver.
The bass is also more than enough sa needs ko.hindi sya malamya
Tried playing sade’s cd (flow, slave song) and workshy’s dive into love to test the bass and it was tight and punchy
To my newbie ears, I really love the sound of the vp-20
