Any VAC CPA-1 preamp owners here?

I just thought there must be something in the archives about this preamp.

Every piece of equipment I own I thoroughly researched on the net first.

I am assuming that there were not alot of these preamps built.

I do appreciate everyones posts, even though I did sound a little defensive earlier, I just was confused why I could fnd information on everything else I have looked for, rare or not, but the CPA-1 seems to be quite elusive.

I also appreciate the tube recommendations, I have printed "Joe's Tube Lore" and hopefully I can find some excellent AND affordable tubes.

Can I get some recommendations where to buy tubes? I only had to purchase 6922's before, so Kevin at Upscale was all I ever needed to purchase from. I think I'm going to need a much wider base to choose from.

Again, I really do appreciate the effort in posting to me, and hope that more communication can be had.

Have a great evening!

Andy at Vintage Tube Services is your man.

Have a look at this :http://www.audiotubes.com/12ax7.htm

I found out I could look for a lot of alternatives in my search for quality tubes. And saved a lot of money by deviating from the big names (brands and dealers).

Be patient in your shopping....and have fun !
