Virtue Audio-anybody hip to them yet??

Battery supply is on its way

I had a Sensation M451. Well built. And Virtue is great to work with.
 
It ended up being a bit underpowered for my needs, so I switched to Emotiva USP-1 and UPA-2 separates. But I would highly recommend Virtue for those looking for a small-scale integrated.

I have mine for my headphones. What power supply did you have?

 

[Sparky14]

Mine had the middle PS option, I forget which was which. 65W maybe?

The middle offering is either 80 or 90 watt depending upon how long ago you bought it.  The top switching supply is 130w and is a big step up from the 80/90 adapter (which is what I started with).  Absolutely worth it.  From there they have battery and 10A linear supply options, but Seth himself feels the 130w switching supply is the sweet spot for return on the dollar.

I recently bought one of the TWO.2 amps that was for sale on this site. I was expecting to use my computer + DAC as the source but first I tried it out with my iMod as the source and was really amazed. I had that experience of rediscovering all kinds of music. So my complete 2-channel system is now the iMod to the TWO.2 to my Gallo Nucleus Solo speakers. I do have to turn the gain up pretty high on the amp but the sound is really quite incredible. My budget was very small for a new amp and I didn't expect to find something that was actually better than the much more expensive separates I used to have (DAC, preamp, and power amp) - quite a pleasant surprise!
