Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

I seriously doubt

that replacing a power tube and its resistor would run $2k. You could nearly buy another VT-100 for that! If you like the amp, fixing it would be your least expensive option.

I once used a VT-100 MKII driving Acoustats. After hearing VTLs, I purchased a pair of MB-450s and have enjoyed them for 13 odd years. I think they do a better job than the ARC. And they are fused to prevent the kind of meltdown you just experienced. As for models, a ST-150 (stereo 150 watts / channel) would be similar. I also see newer ARC power amps in that power range as well on agon.

Good luck with getting that resolved.
