    VTL Maxiline pre
    Hello.
    I'm new to this forum and i need some help.
    I've just purchased a vtl maximal pre and i wonder if somebody can help me to find the user manual.
    Or to indicate a link where i can find some info about this pre.
    There is almost nothing on line!
    BTW any opinion about it?
    Best tubes?
    The rest of my little "gear"

    vtl maximal
    McCormack .5 dlx

    Thank you for your help
    Best regards

    Hey Vhitel,

    I tried searching for your preamp, and I wasn't succesful at finding any info on it either.
    How about posting some pictures? I would love to see internal components.

    Perhaps the way option is to contact VTL.
    There is a rep named Bea at VTL and here is his email address.
    blam@vtl.com

    He's a nice guy and is very helpful, but you might want to expect 3-4 weeks for them to get back to you. (It usually takes them about 2 weeks for a reply.)
    VTL will be attending the CES Shown in Las Vega within 2 weeks, so they could be very busy...

    Good Luck,
    JRA

    Vhitel,

    If it's a Maximal, VTL may not be able to offer what you are looking for.
    Here is the link...

    Looks like the preamp was designed by David Manley. If so, if might be best to contact Manley Labs. (David had left VTL and formed the Manley Labs in early 90's.).
    I've heard nothing but great support and services of the Manley Labs so you might have better luck by contacting EveAnna or David from Manley Labs.


    P.S. So what you have is the Maximal? I wonder if it's any different from the Maxline. There seem to be more information on the Maxline than the Maximal.

    Good Luck!!
