    Default SWAP: Herron VTSP2a, silver, with brand new Electro-Harmonix Goldpin valves

    I want to exchange a silver Herron VTSP2a (rev 01) for one or two things from the below list:

    - a passive preamp (Wavac, "The Horne Shoppe's "The Truth" etc)
    - an mm or mc phono stage (think Croft Riia RS or Paradise or Vida territory)
    - an excellent STEREO step-up transformer or headamp to match my Benz Micro Gullwing SLR (adjustability would be an added bonus)
    - a musical preamp WITH a very good phono stage (not EAR 802 or EAR 864)
    - a unipivot arm

    My remote-controlled amp was bought at the end of 2018 from a Belgian seller. The remote controls - volume, mono/stereo, display, 6 line inputs, tape out, polarity, mute. A balance knob is present on the preamp.

    It sounds as it should and is in very nice condition. Has an unblemished aluminium front. One scratch on the right top plate towards the back, that's all. I just installed new Electro-Harmonix Goldpin valves in it. The receipt from The Tube Amp Doctor in Germany from August 13 is present. I have no box but will ship double-boxed and insured.

    We each pay for our own shipping. Me to the UK/EU. You to Denmark.

    Two photos for now. More, including of the innards, will be uploaded on Saturday.

    Swap with money adjustment your way possible. Or my way.
    DIY no problem if made to a high standard.

    With the EH valves onboard this is a superb pre-amp!

    Thanks Jerry. I'm selling to get my hands on a very good phono stage that will allow me to tailor the sound of my Menz Micro Gullwing that currently sounds too tame (dampened?) for my liking.

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Straight sale or part swaps.

    I am particularly interested in Len Gregory's "Music Maker mk. iii" when it comes to mm/mi cartridges. I already have a very good MC cart in my Benz Micro Gullwing SLR. So mm/mi cart offers only, please.

    I have had one nibble. Nothing conclusive.

    A shame the £/€ rate is so poor just now or I'd be seriously tempted.
