At the Munich Highend show 2016, the all new SS-103 signature stereo power amp from Vitus was certainly getting plenty of attention. This is a further development of the SS-102 which itself started life as the venerable SS-101 over 10 years ago now. The SS-103 incorporates trickle down technology and improvements from the £71,000 Masterpiece stereo amp and also has a few firsts up its sleeve as far as Vitus amplification goes.

The most important of these is the addition of a switchable mode which can be set to either ‘Classic Vitus’ for the rich, refined delivery that the brand is known for or a a new ‘Rock mode’ which will provide the listener with a faster, more dynamic and more forward presentation. Whilst both modes reportedly sounded superb at Munich, I am told that the Rock mode in particular was really something very special indeed and perhaps marks an exciting new pathway ahead for the brand. The SS-103 will definitely evolve into one of the superstars of the Vitus range and it marks a new heady level of performance for the signature class SS line. We look forward to playing with one in thge demo room.

“11 years of pedigree advanced to a new level of emotional performance ready to thrill your senses.

 
As with every product from Vitus Audio, the SS- 103 is designed to present you with a musical experience true to the performance, for generations to come.

Featuring similar technology from our Masterpiece Stereo amplifier adding multiple sound- modes for enabling fine tuning performance to your liking, in your own room. We call these modes “Classic mode” and “Rock mode”. Classic mode gives you our classic preferences while rock mode gives you a more forward sound image. Adding kl. A and kl. AB to each sound mode, gives yet another level of fine tuning the final result to your personal preference.
 
With the latest revision of our custom trans- former, combined with the new power supply technology incorporated, it has a much more rigid and faster supply compared to its preceedors.
 
This results in better control of lower frequencies, faster and more dynamic sound – and capable of driving the most difficult loads avail- able on the market today.“
