I considered the IT-85. The perfect upgrade path exists, the ST-85 (a matching amp only). Could never get VTL to reply to emails. Finally got VAC, but I'm sure the IT-85 would be nice. The Cary was also a consideration but the VAC gear was sexier.
VTL IT-85 integrated vs. Cary SLI-80 integrated
Have anybody compared these two amps? I heard VTL in a demo room, while I use the Cary at home. My initial impression about the VTL is that it sounds very clean, detailed and dynamic, while the Cary indeed has a darker character as someone suggested before. Any comments?
