Kevin Hayes told me that is what drives the gold highlights on much of his gear. I find it a bit ostentatious myself. It sounds great though. I wonder how gold prices will affect VAC. When I spoke with Coda yesterday, they told me they are discontinuing some of their products due to the price of gold. Coda's claim to fame is their gold plated circuit boards. They told me to continue in this fashion they would have to drive the prices up to ridiculous levels. Their newer models will have the same circuitry, but sans the gold plated boards.
I love the way my VAC Avatar Super sounds AND it's easy, simplistic design. I don't think it's a real beauty though.
