Re: Vitus and audiophile fuse
I now use a SR Master fuse in my SIA-025 Mk2, coming from a Purple fuse the difference is substantial.
With this level of gear it’s really worth it. -

Re: What speakers work well with an SIA-025?
Forgot to report back.
I ended up purchasing the SIA-025 MK2 after auditioning it in my system against my ex Diablo 300, Audio Analogue Absolute and even Audionet Humboldt.
I much prefer the Vitus... -

I'm also looking at Pass monos for My Thiel CS 3.7s as potential upgrade, probably XA160.8 would be powerful enough ?

Re: Vitus SS-103 or SM-011?
DSP 4.1 delivers way more current to your amp than most cables out there.
Sound is very engaging, full body, organic and yet more transparent than my ex Firebird.
Bass is insanely good, it puts to... -

Re: Vitus SS-103 or SM-011?
No they don’t at low volume no magic, not enough current IMO.
The only amp that i home demoed and where the magic happened at low volume is the Audionet Humboldt so far.
I wonder how the Vitus... -

I've demoed the Humboldt in my system but i'm not sure the I-880 can beat it.
The only way to know is to have a home demo. -

I plan on keeping the SIA-025 several years by itself and add Vitus stereo or monos latter on as an upgrade.

Re: What speakers work well with an SIA-025?
Don't be fooled by the modest 25w of the SIA-025, it has a lot of current exactly what Thiel speakers need.
My room is medium size and i don't listen very loud. -

Re: Luxman L-595A Special Edition finally arrives !!!
You said it my Diablo 300 is too brute for my Thiels, i need a much more refined amp with a lot of soul.
Musicality and class A is what Thiel speakers need to sing.
I mostly listen to Blues, Jazz...
Results 1 to 25 of 213
This is a 12 volt LPS....is that sufficient ?....I thought one needed something like 19/20 volts, especially if doing DSP, etc.
