Still lonesome at the top is Hans-Ole Vitus. Where? Preparing his booth in Munich for the upcoming High End Show? No, that’s not what I mean. With a staggering score of 93 it’s remains the best product we’ve tested so far. Period. I’m talking about the most impressive amplifier I’ve ever heard in my own listening room: please read our review of the Vitus Audio SIA-025.
Step up to SIA-030
The new Vitus Audio SIA-030 is build on a foundation of knowhow and in-house quality production. Hans-Ole can present 12 years of pedigree in integrated amplifiers. What motivates a man to try to make an already excellent product even better? So, the wait is finally over. The Vitus Audio SIA-030 was programmed for Q4/2017. But like fine wine…some things do take time. Certainly if you want to achieve audiophile excellence.
