VAC (Valve Amplification Company) Avatar Super Tube Integrated Amplifier 120V/24

  

There are very few integrated amplifiers available with built-in phono that can beat the build quality and performance of this unit. Made and designed in the USA. Completely tested and serviced including replacement of a few power supply caps. Includes original box and remote.

Here's what Stereophile had to say about the phono section. The phono section of the Avatar was simply superb, precisely mirroring the performance qualities and tonal signature of the amp's digital performance.

Listening to the title tune of Jack DeJohnette's out-of-print 1977 masterpiece. (ECM 1103), the Avatar's phono section (in tandem with a Rega Planar 3 and a Grado Reference Standard) captured all the visceral dynamics of DeJohnette's drums and Mike Richmond's upright bass with the kind of dimensionality and vivid imagingparticularly in depicting the broad stereo sweep of the drum kitthat remains the main attraction of good analog.
