And don't forget to be a smart shopper when trolling the waters. Keep a limit on what you agree is a good price. Once you get carried away on an ebay auction for example, that high closing price sets a precedence for future sells. It can snowball.
Back around 1999 I scoffed at paying 750.00 for a Gates SA-39 limiter - that was somebody's market price at the time. It's over double that now.
There's an active thread at Prodigy about cloning a V amp. Lots of good info there.
If that V-76 turns out to be your Rosetta Stone - keep it. Just like with gobs of other vintage gear - you may try 10 other V-76s and hear 10 different results. Maybe subtle maybe big.
Telefunken V76... is it all that it's hyped up to be?
my .02, get something reliable, sure the v76 might sound great but you don't want to be risking damaging a vintage pre that cost you a ton of money when you are going to be lugging it around (you said it was a traveling rig). I would go for some bae stuff if you have that kind of money to spend on a pre. sounds awesome, classic and travels well in a rack
