This is where things start to get
serious for Vacuum Tube Line Stages. In the VTL range the TL-5.5 is best
suited in my opinion to driving MB-125 Monoblocks or a ST-150 Stereo
Power Amplifier. For a no-compromise economically friendly vacuum tube
Line Stage solution for your system, I recommend you strongly consider
the TL-5.5.
The TL-5.5 as VTL have advised is all tube
Dual Mono Line Stage designed for maximum performance from a single
ended line source.
Trend setting two tone front panel.
Mint condition in every way and hardly used.
Liquid smooth sounding with a very musical
presentation and wide soundstage will suit all applications.
Processor Pass-Through function for connection to a
surround sound system. Easily enjoy the best of both worlds by
connecting your processor's front channel output to the Processor In
circuit on the VTL TL-5.5 and your power amplifier to the output
circuit.
Use a vacuum tube front end and enjoy your home
theatre system along with a dedicated stereo set-up with that tube
smoothness and warmth.
Oversize power transformers.
Totally dual mono with separate power
supplies for each channel.
Fully loaded with new Electro-Harmonix Gold Pin 2 x 12AX7, 4 x
12AT7 Vacuum Tubes!
Balanced Output.
ALPS Blue Velvet Volume Control.
Quality MultiCap capacitors.
Complete packaging with original
box. Owner's manual and documentation
with slim line remote control.
