hello,
after more tests i came to the conclusion that they must be o.k.,they
just sound a little louder and more treblish...i saw that they are a
new version of a131 vca's(v2.2001)and my older a131 and a130 are the
older version.the 2 versions have some differences in the circuits as
i can see...so,this explains the difference in sound...
