Vitus Audio - My New Dream gears.

Hi Bob,

I have a couple of questions on the Vitus amps:

A) Are each of the Vitus SM-102 monoblocks bridged SS-102 stereo amps?

B) If A is true, does this mean new SM-103 monoblocks will be coming out shortly due to the recent introduction of the SS-103 stereo amp?

Thanks,
Ken

Hi Ken,

SM102's are pure 100 Watt Class A mono amps.

There WILL be SM103's coming out, but not immediately....sometime within a year, but hard to say exactly when. I was with Hans in Munich and he's not exactly sure when they will be coming out, other than they eventually will come out.

Two pics from yesterday's High End show in Munich.

They have the SS103 with the Gauder Berlina RC7 running.

I just read that the Vitus room with the Gauder received the Best of Show reward from Julie Mullins of TAS (and it also made it into the top 5 of Jonathan Valin):

Vitus Audio with Gauder Akustic

The Vitus SS-103 Signature Series Extreme Stereo power amp ($34k) made a smashing debut driving Gauder Akustic RC 7 Mk II loudspeakers (€28k). This setup’s very musical yet highly detailed presentation lifted me out of my jetlag. The amp’s 150W of pure Class A made for compelling listening on JV’s excellent Dream with Dean LP [Analogue Productions] played back on a Transrotor turntable; it was among the most beautiful I’d heard those cuts sound at the show. On Peter, Paul & Mary’s “All My Trials,” the system conveyed all the stripped-down emotional power and intimacy of this outstanding recording reissue from ORG. Rich harmonies were extremely well-blended and perfectly balanced. This Vitus-Gauder Akustik combination exemplified the smooth, effortless beauty and pleasure of high-end musical reproduction.

BEST SOUND (COST NO OBJECT)
A tie between the rooms with Vitus SS-103 Signature Series Extreme Stereo power amp driving Gauder Akustic RC 7 Mk II loudspeakers and Soulution Series 7 electronics and new 511 driving the Magico M-Pro speakers.

Mike, that looks like it says Class A. You need to find the Class D button, my friend.

Yeah!! Nice Bob!!

Hey Bob, Louis from Kronos was raving about the new Absolare integrated. Is that one in the picture? How is it?

P.S. How's your Studer sounding?

>>>>Yes, that is the Absolare Signature integrated in the pic....it's very nice, as crazy as it sounds, it sounds like the Absolare SET's, but with power. It has to do with the pre section of the integrated, which is VERY similar to the separate Absolare pre, which is a significant determining variable when listening to the Absolare SET's and the Absolare pre.


>>>>:heart::heart::heart: The Studer/King Cello pre is quite something. I have a few 30ips tapes coming this week. The 15ips are so good, that I can't imagine what the 30ips tapes will sound like, although you can only get two songs on a reel:)

Having said that the Revox B77II with 7 1/2ips tapes especially with old rock tapes totally holds it's own vs the Studer A812....I was surprised.
 
I heard the class A Absolare integrated at Munich, 200w class A, he said...pretty good

If it was in the Vitus room you misunderstood, that was the SS103 same amp (different color) that Mike just received. It is 50W Class A, 150 Watt Class AB but has several different modes as well. Here is a precise and accurate description of the new SS 103
http://absolutehiend.com/index.php/vitus-audio-ss-103-class-a-amplifier.html

The RI-100 is the 200 Watt Vitus integrated but it is Class A/B, not Class A. The only other Vitus integrated is the venerable SIA-025, which is 25 Watts Class A/150 Watts Class AB.
 
No I replied to absolare post above...it was in the Rockport room. I have heard big Vitus before pretty impressed but would like to compare them to good valves once to see how I like valves vs great class A
