I been after a VTI audio rack for awhile and Doug at Douglas Connection has started selling VTI products now, so I got a audio rack w/coasters to roll my setup between rooms and also pick up a amp stand from him. So just a heads up to anyone looking for one give Doug a shout!
Thanks again Doug for all your help and everything else you have done :)

    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    Thanks all!

    Hey Ed! The Vincent Pho8 is a lot better then my Graham slee in many ways except sound where they are equal. The Slee is too light and heavy IC's can almost pull it off the rack, the Vincent is a lot heaver as you know from yours, and the separate power supply over a transformer block is nice, and it matches my other gear and it can handle low or high M/C Cartridges & MM. I have use many in the past and its now my favorite of all of them.

    I have basically 3 setup I can use. 1= my Vincent pre/pro & phono amps. or my MC100b or I can use the Dared Sl2000a tube preamp I got from Paul with my Vincent amp. MY favorite is my Vincent setup but the other Two are great to switch over to now & then.

    Super happy you turned me on to the Pho8 Darryl. You've got envious options for sure. Someday I'll make a tube amp move. I keep eyeing that same Silk in the FM. But I am of course, on temporary moratorium! You're happy with it tho?

    Hey Paul it yours anytime you want it back :) I have really enjoyed using it and probably have put 100+ hours on it, I did get some Psvane 12AT7 T-series Mark II's and they sound awesome in the Dared. But I admit it is not getting used as much as it should be and maybe would get used more if someone else had it, as it is a super little preamp.
    You always get 1st dibs! plus I have the MC100b for tubes and my Vincent preamp and amp are a hybrid design have have tubes and SS.

    Ed...The Mc100b is a really nice integrated amp and many here use one, Faustin, Marvin, Mikeyb and several use them with their SDA's. Tubes have the good and bad and the price goes up when you have 10 tubes and you want to do some rolling LOL!
    unless you get one with some nice tubes as part of the deal! plus it is really heavy like 70lbs. but I do like have the option of changing between the 2 or 3 set-ups.
