The Vitus phono broke down? For that price warranty return should be free. |

Absolutely loving the Xs, especially now that they have a few hundred hours. Sounds a lot like the big Boulder 3050s, but a drop warmer, which for me is perfection.

Read various reviews of XS300 and I must say I am very impressed with what I read.
Unfortunately dealer does not bring in the XS model for demo except when you confirmed the order. Currently I am using 3 pairs of XA160.8 to drive my SF Aida (i.e. tri-amp). As I ordered Wilson Audio XLF speakers last month and it can only be driven by one pair of amps, I am not so sure if I upgrade to one pair of XA 200.8, they can out perform 3 pairs of XA 160.8. So the only option to me is to get one pair better XS amps to drive the XLF. After reading various reviews, decided to go for XS300 and ordered today Fingers cross they will not take 5 months to arrive, which was the duration I waited for my 3 pairs of XA 160.8 amps 😰 |
