I recently got a pre-owned unit of Virtue One (thanks Sir Rene!)

To my ears, it's a big improvement over my vintage Sansui AU-D11 when driving an old Celestion 3000 (2ft long ribbon widerange driver and 8" woofer crossed at 900hz).

Looking forward to upgrade the stock 24V 65W power supply to 30V 130W unit.
