Reviewers SM-011 comment - “a pair of Vitus SM-010 amplifiers will present no compromise to your system no matter the quality of your other components. These behemoths may even inspire you to make a few improvements once you get used to their abilities. While the price is high, it’s commensurate with the level of build and sound quality. Think of the SM-010s as an ultimate audio destination—desert-island tracks optional”….. . Jeff Dorga - Tone Mag

Reviewers SL-103 comment - “Used in conjunction with a pair of SM-011 monaural power amplifiers the SL-103 is a genuinely world class preamplifier and one which utterly transform the way you listen to music forever. The size of the soundstage and the scale of the sound is huge, with life-like dynamics which will get you closer to a live musical performance than ever before. It has incredible tonal balance with vocal accuracy so palpable you’ll question everything you’ve ever heard previously. Don’t underestimate how good this is” ….. Audio Therapy!

History
Imported in for a client in Jan 2019 to drive his significant HiFi system, in 2021 he needed to downsize his system and sold them to another client. However very shortly afterwards their new owner ended up moving to Australia and has only recently arrived back in NZ, so they have not had a lot of use and are presented in excellent condition. My client needs to buy and renovate a home so has asked me to sell these awesome amps for him. This combo will happily drive a wide range of high-end speakers and make them dance.
SL-103 linestage - is a fully balanced preamplifier based around Vitus’s famous module based gain stages which uses only matched transistors and super precision resistors to ensure optimal working conditions for the different stages of each module. This combined with a special coupling of each input stage, results in an ultra linear frequency response. The true balanced design, together with the local shunt regulated power supply, ensures an excellent signal to noise ratio, making it possible to reveal every level of micro detail in a recording.

SM-011 monoblock amps - build on the phenomenal success of the SIA-025. You get more of everything, more silence, higher resolution, more power and better dynamics. The amps feature a 1.4kVA custom UI transformer, and is true balanced from input to output and as always, there is zero global negative feedback. This is a magnificent amplifier that will offer incredible performance for a lifetime. The completely modular Vitus Audio design means future upgradability is a given and in this version Vitus introduced two different modes of coupling the output as developed for the masterclass MP-S201.
