This is my friends VDH Array amp. The details are listed below and he is looking for £500 plus postage;I can e mail a photo and request more if required.
£500 + £15.99 postage (UK only)
Here we have a very rare piece of hi fi hardware - the Van Den Hul Array active A-1 pre-amplifier. There is not a lot to be found on the net about this amp, but what is there is all highly positive.
Originally produced in 2002, I have owned this one for about 2 years. I partnered it with a Quad 909 power amp and they complemented each other beautifully.
I believe the original retail price was £2700. It comes with a basic Phillips universal remote as Van Den Hul states in the instruction manual ââ'¬Å"We rather concentrate on pure audiophile mattersââ'¬Â
Features:
Volume control by series/shunt resistor networks with air tight gold plated relays
Source selection by means of air tight gold plated relays
Separate power supplies for signal path and control circuits
Gyrator filtered signal path
Zero feedback class-A discrete signal path
Quadruple DC servo. No capacitors anyway in the signal path
Programmable with regard to signal source level differences
Programmable volume change speed
Volume control range +10 to -70 dB in 0.5 dB steps
Gain accuracy better than 0.5 dB at any gain setting. For gains above -40 dB, better than 0.2 dB
Gain tracking L/R better than 0.3 dB (typically 0.10 dB) over entire gain range
Non-magnetic chassis and aluminium front. Puresonic Teflon insulated RCA type (cinch) connectors
4 'Line In' inputs and 1 'Tape Out' output
There is mention of the A-1 on this review, but it is mainly a review of the passive version (P-1)
