Confused with virtue amps
« on: 15 Dec 2011, 02:48 pm »
Hi,
just wanted to know alittle bit more about virtue amp as i might consider one for a bedroom set up. But im a bit confused. Their power rating for one.2 are 24v/55 watts. Im guessing that they work on 24 volt? Instead of the tradiional 120volts? Im from oversea and the power voltage is 220volts, would i be able to use virtue?
What does the one.2 comes with?
Thank you ahead.

The amps can run with 24 to 30 VDC. They can be powered by an external power supply fed with 120V or240V power or via batteries.

All amps come with a passable 24v/65w PSU.  Upgrading is a checkout option.  The tripath amps sound "tightest" (most smooth, analytical, quiet) with batteries.  I happen to prefer the open and airy sound of the switching supplies.

Im guessing that the standard PSU is for 120v? Cause there is an upgrade PSU JT dynamic power listed as 240/115v.

Thanks

Every psu supports 110v or 240v (universal).
