Writing for Positive Feedback, neoteric listener (great turn of phrase, guys!) Dean Seislove describes what it's like coming in from the big-box cold, to the warm embrace of Virtue Audio. Dean is no stranger to great sound but a friend he invites over hasn't yet wandered off the Sony/Advent plantation. I love the part where his buddy says... "Now, I see it sounded like crap before." That's what I call the "ah-ha" moment of high-end audio. Once bitten, never back. A small fortune to AudioGon and a lifetime of pleasure. Turnin' audio lovers into audiophiles is what we do and Dean, you're fantastic! This buds for you.

TNT-Audio has bravely published the first review of the Audiophile.ONE. We're so happy that Nick wasn't disappointed!

"I can't really find a weakness with the Virtue ONE... It would be totally misleading to describe the Virtue ONE as another class-T amp with more power.... coupled with a good speaker will provide true audiophile quality rather than being confined to duties on a computer desk. " -- Nick Whetstone, TNT-Audio

Engineering Reviews

“Within 2 notes of playing a good piano recording, I recognized the instrument as a Bösendorfer; easily identified in real life, but rarely in recordings. The complex low-level harmonics of the steep rise and trail-off of a piano hammer strike gets lost in Class AB amps and most tubes which tend to sound ‘larger than life” and “twice as real.’ The Sensation – like it’s sibling, the Virtue -- is incredibly revealing. It soothes my soul and are not at all fatiguing.”
