What upgrades does the V222 have over a V280?
They are the same.What upgrades does the V222 have over a V280?
Thank you.They are the same.
Only differences are the 4.4mm output and the input selector between XLR and RCA.
(And minus one transformer)
I am sure that you are going to have some great time with it!I´ve asked Violectric about the expected launch date. Fried Reim wrote:
"The circuits of the V202, 222, 226, 340 and 380 amplifiers are the same or at least very similar.
The sound is therefore virtually identical.
V340/V380 have more possibilities regarding inputs and outputs, the V222 is a pure sym. amplifier with 2 switchable inputs.
V202 and V222 should be available from October '22."
A big thank you to @Ichos , he helped me a lot the last days to find the right equipment for me. I bought the V380 and I am very happy with it.
The main difference and I guess the selling point is that the 340 has XLR and RCA pre outputs something the 222 doesn't have.I still feel that Vio made a mistake by having V340 whitout balanced inputs and no 4.4mm balanced output.
V222 seems like a more well rounded product for less.

Mini Niimbus with V222 footprint, but Niimbus higher end parts would be top seller in my mind.October 22.
But 1 reply few posts ago quote Fried saiying that those v340 and v550 i suppose are not better except having more power, preams and more features.No. There are the v340 and v550 above it.
