"Those who have any preconceptions about the sound of an EL34-equipped power section might be in for a surprise—in my system, the VAC Avatar did not acquiesce to traditional notions of "lush" and "creamy"—this is a singular, post-modern design with a sonic signature all its own. And with a first-rate phono stage whose performance reflects the amp's brilliantly detailed sound—and which would doubtless cost roughly $1000 if purchased separately—the Avatar exudes value, versatility, and class." - Chip Stern, Stereophile
