Vitus SS101+SL102 make the same sound I heard months ago. sweet, bass heavy, but
I like something more airy. there a feeling of playing cassette tape with Dolby-C engaged.
But the surprised is that when Vitus 102 preamp connect to Moon W7M, the result is very good,my system doesn't sound thin cold lean as much. Or may be it's the ARC with old 6H30 that caused that thin sound after all...?? tube hours is 2300 hours now for 6H30. Anyway, in latest issue of Stereophile where they test Martens Django , reviewer mentioned cold sounding of Django when pairing with Moon's new M880 too.
The most exciting for me is that around end of September I will have Accuphase C3800 + A200 delivered to try. Anything that make beautiful sound, not darkish, and powerful enough will be permanent resident here. Right now top three best sound ( for me ) are
1. ARC Ref40 + REF 250 <= lack pop and punch, but really nice sound at reasonable price.
2. Burmester 077 + Burmester 911Mk3 <== sound really great, but at times, sound can be too sharp and too strong, too punchy, but reasonable price and make infra sonic bass like no other.
3. Vitus Audio preamp SL102 + Moon W7M <== great, but SL102 really expensive..
4. C3800+A200 <=== unknown, yet.
5. ARC Ref40 + D'Agostino Momentum <== unknown
6. ARC Ref40 + Constellation Centaur <== unknown

Toga
But I really like VA driving Sophia 3.
