The main issue I had with the 7.5 was its total lack of compatibility with any amp over 28db gain. Use any Pass, Krell, cj, Simm, Lamm and the tube noise is intolerable. This would be bad news in any $500 piece of equipment let alone a $US12500 piece.Use a cj prem amp which has similar total gain and there are ZERO ISSUES with tube noise. There is something fundamentally wrong with the VTL 7.5 gain structure.
VTL clearly indicated that they tested their pre amp against all the top pre amps, therefore it would be an expectation that the 7.5 would be going into systems without VTL 26db gain amps.
If you the distributor or any dealer advised that the 7.5 only worked with amps that had under 28 db gain when used with 89/90 db speakers, I and probably many other customers would not have considered the 7.5. Unfortunately that was never done.
I lost a bucketload of $ on this, hence answering the orginal question.
