I believe he does. Let me give him a call.~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~

It is in excellent condition.External bias measurement and adjustment.BTW--it has a very steady bias,I've only adjusted it once,after the new tubes were installed.Prefer local pickup,but I will ship if necessary.
Thanks for looking
Please pm if interested.

Hi George,
Well, it took me a while to swing it but the funds are now in your account .
Wow! I think my system will be right where I want it to be once it's all settled in. The only thing I plan to tweak in the future is the power cord where I may install an IEC outlet. I love to experiment with my growing power cable collection.
I am psyched!

Well, the tubes got here first. Great packaging! (there was a little bit of cardboard [the mailing box] under a roll of tape and enough bubble wrap it would have kept the Titanic afloat if this package was in the hold).
Now I really am anxious like a little kid on Christmas morning because UPS doesn't deliver here until around 5:30.VTL ST50 w/mods / RCA6L6GC / TlfnknECC801S

I'm auditioning my 1986 4 ohm SDA SRS 2's first . . .
RDO198-1's
Sonicaps replaced high-pass caps
Aeons replaced low pass caps
Mills resistors
Cardas Binding Posts
Special 12 GA 19-strand silver coated oxygen free copper Kapton Teflon insulated IC
Dynamat Extreme on all baskets
Mortite on all drivers
I have been listening for about a half-hour now and have to keep this short and sweet as I am sharting myself and grinning wider than my keyboard.

Does anyone know which impedance setting I should us on MIT Shotgun IC's between my Conrad Johnson PV-5 and the VTL ST-50?
Setting choices in K ohms are 5-50m 40-100 and 90 and higher. I think the CJ is high output, but I don't have a manual for it so I don't know the exact spec.VTL ST50 w/mods / RCA6L6GC / TlfnknECC801S
