Hi,

Whilst there aren't a lot of posts on the Virtue forum its my understand they are still selling the One.3 integrated amplifier.

I have one and use it to power my nuforce s9 speakers which were $5000US speaker at one stage.

Cheers Rod

Title: Virtue / amps sold out

Guys,

I just marked the ONE.3 sold out because I'm out of new/old stock units.  I'm not comfortable enough with the last ONE.3 production to make more so this is probably the end of the road for Tripath based boards.

We still have lots of parts and more than 30 return/refurb units if someone is desperate for one and can't find on the used market.

Jason is still building cables merrily.  So please feel free to buy cables from Jason!

There is another R&D project active.  If it bears fruit I'll let everyone know.

Hi Seth,

Just wondering if you were ever able to move forward on the new project?  I still regularly use my Virtue Audio One.3.

Cheers Rod

No idea, but thanks for reminding me that I haven't listened to my Virtue.ONE in ages!

I still use mine once in a while, I have five amps.  Ones and Twos.  I should sell a couple on eBay.

Uffda, I sold two ONE.3s on eBay in little time.

Conversations with one buyer got me thinking about a HDPlex 100watt linear power that I had used earlier with some TPA link / ethernet optical cable runs I had used earlier.  Hooked up to a TWO was real rewarding.  I have had most of VAs power supplies and both batteries, lead and lithium.  The pairing will be in use for a while I suspect.  Hope I don't get the bug to go more upscale with linear power supplies.
