Whither Vitus?


I am looking for a few great integrated amps to audition with my Fyne F704 speakers and would love to audition one of the Vitus amps, either a RI-101 Mk2 or SIA-025, but Vitus amps seem to be harder to find than Jimmy Hoffa.

Any ideas on how I might get my hands on one of these, especially the RI-101 Mk2?

Their web site lists 4 US dealers plus a distributor. Have you contacted any of them to see if an audition can be arranged?

Or….you might talk to the dealer from whence the Fyne speakers came.  That’s an assumption…..from a dealer.  Otherwise +1 for armstrod.  Big Ear Stereo sells Fyne speakers, that would also be a resource.

Vitus USA retailers from their web site.

please ask who in the USA services the unit if it needs repairs.

Thanks, everyone. I did hear from one of these dealers tonight, but unfortunately, I have not yet been able to land a home audition. 

There an SIA 025 available here now for just under $15k.  There’s also an RI 100 on US AudioMart for $6500 in case that may be of interest.  Best of luck.

Thanks very much. I saw those. The SIA-025 is in Europe and would need to be sent to the factory to change the voltage, so not quite practical for me.

The RI-100 looks like a good deal, but I am more or less focused on the 101 Mk 2 or SIA-025. If the latter, I will most likely have to be patient and look for a deal in the classifieds.
