Vitus Audio RL-101 Reference Series Preamplifier

Dave Thomas has posted a review of the Vitus Audio RL-101 Reference Series preamplifier ($11,250) at Stereo Times. His conclusions:

“Clearly the competition for the RL-101 is not the RI-100, it’s every other linestage on the market. And in its price range (and below) there is a ton of competition, the excellent Classe’ Audio CDP-800 which I reviewed earlier this year immediately comes to mind. But I can’t imagine a linestage that the RL-101 wouldn’t compare favorably to, save for another of the other Vitus products. Despite being part of an entry-level product line make no mistake, this is a reference quality product. You simply have to consider the company that the line is part of. It’s like buying the least expensive Bentley. It’s still a Bentley. Highly recommended.
