Sunfire included a vacuum tube turn table pre-amp with only a small number of their VTCC units. The phono stage was pre-order only. This beautiful turn table preamp is now available as a plug-and-play retrofit for any VTCC unit. Tis phono stage is an exact clone of the original, with some improvements and upgrades. 1) MM and MC sections (35db and 60db gain) 2) MC section utilizes parallel input stage for reduced noise. 3) Reverse RIAA 4) Integrated subsonic filter 5) Requires 4x 6922 (6DJ8) and 2x 12AX7 vacuum tubes This kit is available to purchase and install yourself, or we can install it for you if you send your unit in to us (a full restore is generally required for the main preamp before we can install the phono stage). Full kit Cost: $600 (no vacuum tubes) *inquire for recommended vacuum tubes and we can install them with the kit

The Sunfire Vacuum Tube Control Center (VTCC) is one of the best vacuum tube preamps ever made. After all these years, this truly magnificent unit is in need of some TLC and must be serviced. This unit contains quite a few electrolytic capacitors - more than your standard audiophile preamp. But not because it lacks good design, rather because the power supply is designed for very low noise and ripple on the HT voltage, and so many paralleled devices are utilized there. You do not want to risk these old electrolytic capacitors leaking on the PCB! The contents of a leaking capacitor is corrosive, and can permanently damage the circuit board which uses a double layered design with delicate vias and critical trace structure. Some units have IR remote control capability, and some do not. We offer a IR remote volume control modification for units missing the remote functions. We also offer a turn table premamp retrofit for units missing this feature as well... see here: We can install LEDs for the vacuum tubes for custom effect. Blue LEDs shown below: Our restore also includes some signal path upgrades which help this unit maintain it's spectacular transparency and low noise floor. Restore comes with our 3 year parts and labor warranty. Restore cost: $450 stock phono preamp restore: add $150 to base restore cost Remote Volume Control modification: $400 Vacuum Tube LEDs: $50

The Sunfire 600x2 is 'the complete' audio amplifier capable of enormous power into difficult loads down to 2 ohms and never breaks a sweat. The 600x2 is simply a 300x2 on steroids! The 625x2 was a special edition with all new design. These amps are so efficient, they do not even require a heatsink. Over the years however, aging components are contributing to faulty operation - from noise, buzzing and even catastrophic failure. Restoration for the Sunfire 600x2 signature power amplifier includes replacement of all electrolytic capacitors, predrive stages, voltage regulation stages and power supply updates. We clean the unit inside and out, and replace the meter bulb. Power supply capacitance is also increased with our low ESR array that will also increase the amp's transient response and current delivery. The unit is fully tested to spec, driven to max power down to 2 ohms, and calibrated. This work comes with a 3 year parts and labor warranty.
