I have not read all the new posts that flooded my inbox recently, but I do see a comment about the VM-1a not being sold by RAAL anymore. I got to read a bit more on that.
I was speaking with Danny last week and told him that the TL-1b could bite into the VM-1a sales because with a good amp the TL-1b delivers an almost VM-1a level sound.
So good, that I plan on using the TL-1b in my office with a Peachtree GAN1 (modded) amp for my CA-1a. A CODA #16 amp with the SR1a + CA-1a. My VM-1a will move to another room and be used much less, at least 2023 with my work schedule. I listen to the CA-1a and SR1a each night for many hours while I work the night work shift and the TL-1b was very satisfying and helpful with that.
The VM-1a is not going anywhere though, it is still the best RAAL amp.
