The Vitus Audio SS-102 is a Signature Series stereo power amplifier, not an integrated amplifier — the volume control present in the SS-101 was removed to make way for a higher-performing power supply, making it a pure power amp requiring a separate preamplifier. It is switchable between Class A (2 x 50W) and Class A/B (2 x 100W) operation into 8 ohms. Built around massive UI-core transformers that Vitus specifies for stability, low radiation, low voltage drop, and clarity, the SS-102 employs a fully balanced topology with high-grade matched solid-state devices. Sonically it is widely described as powerful yet natural and organic, with a slightly warm, refined character and excellent control of demanding loudspeakers. Replaced by the SS-103; now discontinued.
