With an eye toward flexibility and user friendliness, the TP-2.5\u003cem\u003ei\u003c\/em\u003e offers user-adjustable cartridge impedance, and two levels of gain, with inputs for both MC and MM cartridges. JFET\/tube hybrid circuitry is used for the MC stage, and all-tube circuitry for the MM stage.  Additional functions include a front-panel switchable function that is internally selectable between rumble filter or mono. The signal path is purposely kept simple and direct, with audiophile-grade components throughout, for ultimate sonic purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the new TP-2.5\u003cem\u003ei\u003c\/em\u003e phono stage, VTL have created an entry to true high-end analog sound. The VTL ‘family’ genes of highly resolved detail, linearity and controlled bass are all there, along with tonal depth, richly textured midrange and spaciousness you won’t find in most phono stages.

Designed with a fully active preamplifier stage, the IT-85 delivers a hearty 60 watts per channel with the sonic characteristic that is similar to our well regarded ST-85 Stereo amplifier and the TL2.5 preamplifier combination – fast, musical 3-D sound, and solid bass support that VTL is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IT-85 is a full linestage preamp and power amplifier in one chassis, and the linestage section has sufficient gain and a buffered output to be able to drive a subwoofer through the preamp out.

In triode mode, the amp is best suited to speakers with an efficiency of 92dB\/1W\/1m or higher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh energy storage power supply \u0026gt;200 joules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVTL proprietary output transformer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery low-noise floor with specially designed grounding scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTetrode\/Triode Switchable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e150 watts per channel in tetrode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e70 watts per channel in triode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 6550 tubes per channel with individual bias setting for each tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudiophile grade film and foil caps used in the signal path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtruded aluminum front panel with luxurious, modern look — black and silver options available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"responsive\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVacuum Tube Complement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 x 6550, 2 x 12AT7, 2 x 12BH7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput power\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTetrode: 120W, Triode: 60W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e20Hz – 20kHz \u0026lt;3% THD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInto 5Ω\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput sensitivity @ 150W\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100V = 0.880V; 120\/240 = 1.0V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003einput impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e130KΩ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Load Range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2Ω – 8Ω\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eS\/N Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-95dB, 120Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIdle = 240W, Full Power = 800W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Mains Fuse Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100V = 15A Ceramic Slo Blo, 120V = 15A Ceramic Slo Blo, 220\/240V = 8A Ceramic Slo Blo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eB+ Fuse Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1A fast acting ceramic 600V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions W x D x H\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19 x 12 x 9 inches (48 x 30 x 23 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85lbs (38.6Kg), 110lb (50Kg) packed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eReview\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“… one of the rarest tube designs …”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The power amp continues the VTL tradition, succeeding in the recipe of getting the advantages of the tubes with some of the positive elements of transistors.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“In tetrode mode the ST-150 has a particular muscular and phantasmagorical sound.

Now, VTL has significantly upgraded this preamp, using many of the technological innovations derived from the flagship TL-7.5 preamplifier. The result is a modern full-featured preamplifier that outperforms in every way, making it one of the top values of any tube preamplifier in its category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fundamental qualities that made the original TL-5.5 special—its all-tube design, the optional retrofittable phono stage, and its superb sonic characteristics—are unchanged. What’s new is the application of advanced audio technology sourced from VTL’s TL-7.5 Reference and TL-6.5 Signature preamplifiers. This technology uses a simple circuit topology with low negative feedback and a high current\/low impedance output stage in a low-noise microprocessor-based design. Top quality parts, fully balanced operation, and precision-regulated and shielded power supplies yield a full yet neutral sound with high resolution, transparency, speed and powerful dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVTL has delivered on its goal of bringing advanced engineering and modern functionality to the new TL-5.5 Series II preamplifier. With the same highly intuitive user interface of the renowned TL-7.5 and 6.5, and a full-function remote, the new TL-5.5 is a pleasure to use. A rigid, well-shielded chassis yields quiet operation while bi-directional RS-232 serial interface allows for seamless integration into any audio system.

The phono stage employs hybrid JFET\/tube circuitry for quiet operation, multiple low-noise cascaded regulators and shielded power supplies for dynamics, accurate 4-corner passive RIAA equalization and 68dB of gain from the balanced outputs, all in a single chassis unit.

the focus of soloists.

The estimated delivery time is 3 months.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than seven years after introducing the TL6.5 Signature Preamplifier to wide acclaim, VTL presents a significantly revised version, the TL6.5 Series II. The new model incorporates numerous circuit improvements while retaining the best elements of the TL6.5 platform. The proven strengths of the original system design include a single chassis architecture, a fully balanced differential design, a hybrid circuit that combines tubes in the gain stage for voltage linearity, with a FET buffer for greater current capacity, a high resolution volume control with high overload capability, and precision-regulated power supplies. The highly-regarded user interface of the TL6.5 platform is renowned for its intuitive functionality and ease of use, with full-function remote control, and a fully bi-directional RS-232 control interface for increased compatibility with modern home theater systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TL-6.5 Series II incorporates most of the advanced technology found in VTL’s flagship preamplifier, the TL-7.5 Series III, for a dramatically higher level of performance compared to the original design. The new version features an extensively revised power supply based on current-sourced shunt regulator technology that minimizes impact on the audio signal. Far more precise power regulation yields dramatically improved rejection of noise and AC fluctuation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe completely redesigned high current gain stage utilizes newly available FET technology developed for green technologies such as solar panels and electric cars that require a normally-on state. Unlike MOSFETs that need to be biased on, normally-on devices operate more like vacuum tubes in the audio output stage, with simpler circuits that continuously conduct current, resulting in a more tube-like sound. The high-current gain stage is shock-mounted like the TL-7.5, and has been further optimized for linearity, with zero global negative feedback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAudio circuit

With the ‘450s, recordings have a naturalistic perspective and presence that depends on having a place for everything and everything being in that place — not in the clamped, pinched, over-damped and etched style of so many ultra-definition solid-state designs, but in the way that instruments and voices have a natural position and separation.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vtl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/VTL_MB450_MB185.pdf\" style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e- Read the full review here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"…The MB-450 III’s crystalline finesse in the treble never ceased to excite.

The new model incorporates numerous technological advances while retaining the best elements of the TL-7.5 platform. The proven strengths of the original system architecture include: a fully balanced differential design; a hybrid circuit that combines tubes in the gain stage for voltage linearity (less than 2dB NFB) with a MOSFET buffer for greater current capacity; a high resolution volume control; and a clean box\/dirty box architecture with multiple precision-regulated power supplies. The highly-regarded user interface of the TL7.5 platform sets the standard for intuitiveness, and ease of use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Series III builds on improvements made to the Series II for an even higher level of performance. The new design features an extensively revised power supply based on current-sourced shunt regulator technology that minimizes impact on the audio signal by eliminating high voltage gain. Far more precise power regulation yields dramatically improved rejection of noise and AC fluctuation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe completely redesigned high current gain stage utilizes newly available FET technology developed for green technologies such as solar panels and electric cars that require a normally-on state. Unlike MOSFETs that need to be biased on, normally-on devices operate more like vacuum tubes in the audio output stage, with simpler circuits that continuously conduct current, resulting in a more tube-like sound. The high-current gain stage has been further optimized for linearity with zero global negative feedback in the circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso included in the upgrade are new specially selected audiophile grade capacitors and a fully bi-directional RS-232 control interface for increased compatibility with modern home theater systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnhancements to the Series III result in an even higher level of coherence, integration and transparency of sound, with dramatically improved mid-bass and midrange, and a more tube-like sonic

The estimated delivery time is 3 months.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSince its introduction in 2004, VTL’s S-400 Stereo Reference amplifier has been valued by music lovers around the world as a high power, high performance tube amplifier–renowned for its ease of use and refined, natural depiction of music. The new Series II version of the S-400 uses the same circuitry as its bigger brother, the Siegfried Series II Reference monoblock amplifier, in an impressive single chassis design. The inclusion of VTL’s latest engineering advances brings the renowned sonic performance of the S-400 to even greater heights.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the Series II, VTL, has completely re-worked the entire signal path. Upgrades include a fully balanced differential input stage driving a differential phase splitter and a lower impedance push-pull output stage with a dramatically improved, fully balanced and enhanced interleaved and coupled output transformer. Equipped with the same “SmartTube” technology as the Siegfried II, the S-400 deploys Auto Bias and Fault Sensing, precision-regulated power supply technology, and bi-directional RS-232 control, giving unparalleled flexibility and ease of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S-400 Series II gains further sonic benefits with a shorter, faster and fully balanced negative feedback loop, with zero global negative feedback. The negative feedback loop completely eliminates ringing and requires no capacitor compensation to maintain critical phase integrity and information. The result is an amplifier that remains stable even under the most demanding loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdjustable precision-regulated plate, screen and bias supplies hold the output tube operating point constant even under AC and main power supply fluctuations, and stabilizes the critical power supplies yielding tonal stability and sonic integrity, especially during complex, dynamic signal conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother new feature is a user adjustable Damping Factor feedback control that allows the user to adjust the amplifier’s output impedance by varying the amount of negative feedback. Impedance can now be precisely set to suit the listener’s taste, and to improve control of the loudspeaker loads to deliver best performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3 possible settings are:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLOW – Lowest damping factor, good loudspeaker control, most natural sound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMED – Better loudspeaker control, with some impact on sound quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHI – Best loudspeaker control, with a little more impact on sound quality, but on speakers that need the control the sonic improvement is clear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, the amplifier has been substantially re-voiced with premium Mundorf silver oil capacitors, for a sweeter, more extended top end and mid range tonality that sounds more relaxed, with better flow and integration. Input stage capacitors are also bypassed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven a brief listen to the S-400 Series II Stereo Reference amplifier reveals the successful implementation of the new technology. A lower noise floor creates a velvety black sonic background from which more of the nuances of music can emerge. The soundstage is taller and deeper, yielding better defined and more delineated instrumental images. The mid bass has more authority and control while the critical midrange exhibits a new effortlessness, better reflecting the natural colors and timbres of musical instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the new amplifier has an uncanny ability to sound quick and agile, yet still possessing the ability to scale up effortlessly, with a sense of almost unlimited power. Listening to music through the S-400 II amplifier is an exciting and invigorating experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable

With Lohengrin, these often-elusive qualities are elevated a new level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lohengrin amplifier features an eight-tube output stage configuration capable of delivering 400 watts, retaining the higher-powered Siegfried amplifier’s driver stages and power supply. By employing tubes—easier to drive than transistors and free from the “current hogging” issues common in parallel designs—the Lohengrin amplifier achieves an ideal balance of power and responsiveness. Its innovative technologies produce a lower output impedance, reducing the necessary step-down to the loudspeaker load and enabling a simpler, more effective output transformer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Precision-regulated power supplies hold the output tubes at optimal operating points even under demanding loads. Our wide-bandwidth, heavily interleaved multi-section output transformers ensure seamless, grain-free extension into the upper frequencies. Lohengrin’s zero global negative feedback design, broad audio bandwidth (-1dB at 100kHz), and adjustable damping factor provide capability and flexibility for tailoring to the speaker load and listener’s preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe amplifier’s user interface makes tube operation intuitive and worry-free. Fully automatic bias control and comprehensive, multi-layered fault-sensing systems enhance reliability and simplify the management of the output tubes. Fully bi-directional RS-232 interface provides control and diagnostic information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusically, the tonal spectrum of the Lohengrin is seamlessly integrated from top to bottom, the soundstage is precise and expansive, revealing the venue where the musicians perform with astonishing realism. Lohengrin reveals micro dynamics – those subtle dynamic shifts musicians use to express beauty and emotion – with nuanced alacrity. Bass instruments are presented with linearity, definition and control. True to its heritage, Lohengrin presents the weight and authority of the original event with grace and power. The sound is fresh, vibrant, and immersive, drawing listeners deeply into the music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding upon our signature foundation of dynamically expressive, authoritative sound, Lohengrin delivers extraordinary immediacy, drawing listeners inward, beyond mere sonic accuracy, toward something subtler and truer: the hidden intentions, elusive emotions, and unspoken truths musicians strive to convey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable

VTL’s engineering brings the renowned sonic performance of the innovative Siegfried Reference platform to even greater heights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new Siegfried Reference monoblocks gain further sonic benefits with a shorter, faster and fully balanced negative feedback loop, with zero global negative feedback. The negative feedback loop completely eliminates ringing and requires no capacitor compensation to maintain critical phase integrity and information. The result is an amplifier that remains stable even under the most demanding loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdjustable precision-regulated plate, screen and bias supplies hold the output tube operating point constant even under AC and main power supply fluctuations, and stabilizes the critical power supplies yielding tonal stability and sonic integrity especially during complex, dynamic signal conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother new feature is a user adjustable Damping Factor feedback control that allows the user to adjust the amplifier’s output impedance by varying the amount of negative feedback. Impedance can now be precisely set to suit the listener’s taste, and to improve control of the loudspeaker loads to deliver best performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4 possible settings are:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLOW – Lowest damping factor, good loudspeaker control, most natural sound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMED – Better loudspeaker control, with some impact on sound quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHI – Best loudspeaker control, with a little more impact on sound quality, but on speakers that need the control the sonic improvement is clear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMAX – Maximum damping factor, but sonic impact is noticeable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, the amplifier has been substantially re-voiced with premium Mundorf silver oil capacitors, for a sweeter, more extended top end and mid range tonality that sounds more relaxed, with better flow and integration. Input stage capacitors are also bypassed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven a brief listen to the new Siegfried Series II monoblock reveals the successful implementation of the new technology. The mid bass has more authority and control while the critical midrange exhibits a new effortlessness in reflecting the natural instrumental colors and timbres. This greater sense of ease and control of the critical mid bass and midrange area enables the top end to sound completely natural and unconstrained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its massive power handling capabilities, the Siegfried has always excelled at delivering effortless speed, dynamics and real control in the bottom end, with an almost organic bass quality. With this new version, even at low level listening one can enjoy the nuances and micro-dynamics of music. The Siegfried II scales up from handling the smallest intimate performances to the largest orchestral fanfares with ease. It strikes the perfect balance between seemingly endless weight and authority, and effortless finesse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3
