VTL TL5.5 Series II Signature Tube Preamplifier - Fully Balanced

VTL has a long heritage with building outstanding products.  The TL5.5 Series II is their most expensive , all tube pre.  Since we sell both Audio Research and VTL, I can tell you this will easily go head to head with the AR REF 6 preamp.  

The design uses a simple circuit topology with low negative feedback and a high current/low impedance output stage in a low-noise microprocessor. Top quality parts, fully balanced operation, and precision-regulated and shielded power supplies yield a full yet neutral sound with high resolution, transparency, speed and powerful dynamics.

This unit was traded-in from a client who loved his gear with great care. It includes all of the parts, paperwork and packing that it came with new.  Its without blemish and has been well cared for. 

The original metal remote, manual and box are included.
