Very lightly used RAAL Requisite VM-1a Vacuum tube headphone amplifier. This was very lightly used, and I estimate less than 50 hours on it. Took delivery on this on March 19, 2022. I purchased this new from headamp.com after hearing it at CanJam NY in 2022. Retail price on this was $6900 and I have been the only user. I am a non-smoker/pet free. This is the absolute best amplifier you can get for RAAL headphones. This was designed to work with the RAAL SR1a/b, CA-1a and the new 1995 headphones. RAAL no longer makes headphone amplifiers, and this is a rare model with only 1 other one ever being sold on the open market according to HiFi Shark. The 2nd one for sale was a different add by the same person. This was the top-of-the-line amplifier for RAAL Requisite. The amplifier is in excellent condition and was sent back to the manufacturer for a look over and received a resistor update modification, so this has the latest/final updates.

I am only selling because I have decided to get out of headphone listening and concentrate on my home speaker system instead. Tubes are all factory and original. This amp was from the very first batch sold by RAAL Requisite. The tube store Mullard tubes are from RAAL. There was a shortage of Russian tubes when I purchased this amp, and these were installed on the amp by RAAL. This amplifier is in excellent condition. Asking $4300 and I am firm on this price. This is the out the door price and includes shipping and PayPal fees. I’m located in northern California and if someone wanted to pick it up directly that would be fine, and I would adjust the price accordingly and subtract shipping costs. Ground shipping with insurance to the CONUS US is included in this price. This amp just comes with the standard black power cord provided by RAAL. The original box is missing. When I sent it to RAAL they ran out of the original boxes so I will ship in the box they provided.

I can answer questions through the forum or for serious buyers I will provide my phone number. I’ve been a member here for many years and have even made a number of posts in the forums.
