Here is the copy of the Press Release:

HOLDEN, MA (July 22, 2019) – Vinnie Rossi has officially transitioned from direct sales to a dealer network in the USA and is pleased to announce the appointment of Mark Sossa of Well Pleased Audio Vida as the companyʼs sales representative for North America, effective July 22, 2019.

Commenting on the new partnership, Rossi said, “Over the last five years, Mark has demonstrated a tremendous amount of energy and enthusiasm towards the brands that he represents - at various trade shows and working with a strong and growing dealer network that he has established and maintained. His good character, approachability, and long-term vision are exactly what I have been looking for to make the switch from direct sales to a vibrant dealer network, exclusively. We are looking forward to working together.”

Sossa adds, “I have been keenly watching Vinnie Rossiʼs products evolve over the last 15 years. He continues to reach higher levels of performance with every product, and each one delivers an innovative design approach, top performance in its price class, and high value. They also garner numerous awards from the press, glowing coverage at trade shows, and a loyal following from his customers. As his company continues to grow, I am excited to be part of his team and bring his designs to a much larger audience.”

Both companies will be teaming up this year at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest (September), as well as Captial Audio Fest and the New York Audio Show (November). Vinnie Rossi plans to show his upcoming L2 Integrated Amplifier at all three shows, and interested dealers are encouraged to visit Vinnie Rossi and Mark Sossa in person for a remarkable demo!

4) The following news has been posted on the LIO page:
https://www.vinnierossi.com/lio-audio-component/ (https://www.vinnierossi.com/lio-audio-component/)

Quote
After nearly 5 years of production, LIO will be discontinued by the end of summer 2019.

There are a handful of reasons that have prompted us to make this difficult decision, but the two most significant are:

1) LIO has always been priced and sold as a ‘factory-direct’ product, but now Vinnie Rossi has officially switched from direct sales to a dealer network.

2) Product demand for LIO has steadily become slower, yet the cost of parts to make LIO has increased (especially in smaller production quantities).

Rest assured, we will still continue to offer LIO modules, warranty service and support to all of our LIO customers going forward.

We are also offering our LIO customers generous trade-up credit towards our new L2 components until the end of 2019.  If you are interested, please contact us to inquire.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support!

Vinnie Rossi



We're almost out of stock of LIO parts and enclosures, but have stock of modules. As mentioned above, will continue to support modules and LIO upgrades (including the L2 Phonostage and L2 DAC are both upgrade options for LIO customers).

And we'll be getting in LIO trade-in units, so if you are interested, please contact me directly via email.

Thank you,

Vinnie

Congratulations for this major business move Vinnie. The new stuff looks terrific - world class all the way!

However, checking out the new L2 Integrated prices (gulp) I'm glad to own (for the present and foreseeable future) a LIO DHT/DAC2.

I'm wondering how this will effect LIO resale values.

Hi dspringham,

Thank you!

Today I am receiving a lot more emails than I expected from LIO customers looking to trade-up to the L2i or L2i-SE.  I'll try my best to get through them all over the next 24 hours or so.

And I will continue to support all my LIO customers (heck, I still service Red Wine Audio components  - many of which were purchased on the used market  :wink:) and you'll get many more years of enjoyment from LIO.  I don't see the resale value changing much at all.

Best regards,

Hi Vinnie

The new models look very, very impressive - congrats!

As most probably I'll stay with my LIO a couple more years, I'd like to ask you if you'll stop releasing upgrades for the LIO, ie, a DAC 3.0.

Thanks

Vinnie,

Congrats to go dealer rep. I understand you must have been thinking about this more than once. But I guess its a wise choice especially
considering promoting higher end products. Its important to have the possibility to audition and also seeing coverage from the press will be
better I guess.

Will there be upgrades and or tradeups possible from now or is it up to the dealers to descide themselves?

When will it be time for conquering Europe?

Hi Magnus,

Thank you!  Yes, I have received many requests for dealer auditions over the years.  I'm excited to finally make
this transition!

- Please email me directly regarding trade-ups.  I will be handling the LIO trade-ups to L2 (but trade-ups are only for the rest of 2019).

- Dealers will be handling all new sales going forward for the L2 product line.

- I will be posting about Europe on my "Where to Buy" page soon - that is also in the works!  8)

Thanks Vinnie - I'm really happy for you as my experience with the LIO and dealing with you has been excellent.

I have to tell you however that the decision to discontinue the LIO was disappointing to me as I considered the LIO as my system for the long run, with exciting upgrades for many years - now I understand this will be over which for the case of the DAC might compromise the one box solution in in the medium term. Unfortunately the L2 is too upmarket for some of the LIO’s existing owners.

Best of luck and once again congrats!

I am in the same position..love the LIO but cannot afford the up scaled new line. Vinnie has promised his support for the LIO and considering the build quality I don't foresee any issues. There will always be a question or two that Vinnie will answer and perhaps any ideas you might have about a LIO mod or improvement might spark something. You can always use an external dac or amp, I see some VR120's for sale, perhaps contact Vinnie for a recent trade in should you want more power. The LIO still retains it's flexibility even without any new in house upgrades. I had Vinnie make me  a mod to add more RCA inputs...no problem !. The LIO is going to be with us for a long time.

There is no new dac (beyond the LIO DAC 2.0 / L2 DAC) in the works
at this time, so I am not yet in a position to answer your question.

Other than a decent Triode Wire Labs power cable, would the L2 need a power conditioner or more elaborate surge protection? I have whole-house surge protection already installed.

Post by: jriggy on 3 Sep 2019, 11:04 pm
Im my experience, almost all hifi rigs at a good revealing level (like VR components) will benefit with ‘the right kind’ power conditioner or filter, even if on a dedicated line. If you have not heard your system with anything on the power side, you owe it to yourself to borrow or demo something comparable to hear for yourself.

Hi MP,

I'm on a plane to RMAF now (with sketchy wifi):

All the L2 components have built-in MOV surge protection.  I actually have a customer who took a power surge during a storm, and it worked as it should (blew the fuse of the L2 Preamp, but no damage was done to the unit).  Of course if there is a lightning strike very close to your home, there are no guarantees that any surge suppressor will save your gear.  I am sure you can find surge protection units that have even more protection than what I add into the L2 components.  But I still recommend unplugging your equipment during an electrical storm if you are home.  It might be a tad inconvenient, but having to send your units in for repair is much more inconvenient (for us both) and expensive.  :o 

It is hard to say if you will find any benefit with using a power conditioner.  It really depends on how polluted your AC mains are, and the design of the power conditioner, etc:

At home, I plug all my L2 components directly into the AC outlet (no conditioners) and have no interest in adding a power conditioner because everything works and sounds as it should to me.  But I do understand that some customers have polluted power and want to clean it up.  As jriggy mentions, see if you can borrow a conditioner.  If not, I recommend that you try power cables and conditioners from companies that will let you demo them at home, or offer some sort of return policy.  Then you can swap them in and out and decide if they are making an improvement.  And do you find the improvement to be worth the cost to you?

What is essential to make sure your outlets are wired correctly (Live, Neutral, and Ground are all wired correctly), and your power cord has a connected Ground wire.  Never use a cheater plug.   You can buy an outlet tester for under $10 at your local hardware store (electrical department) and test your outlets, just to make sure everything is correct. 

I hope this helps,

Vinnie

Post by: matthewpartrick on 4 Sep 2019, 01:24 pm
thanks for the detailed reply.  Sounds like I'll be in the clear to stick with the TWO cable and no additional surge protection. I'll try out a conditioner but I don't perceive our grid to be particularly dirty.  However most of my critical listening is done in the LIO so I guess we'll see.soon enough!  Have fun at RMAF, wish I was there.

Hi Charles,

Mark did bring the Gigawatt for our room at RMAF (on the bottom of our rack):  https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=165496.0 (https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=165496.0)

I didn't get around to doing A/B comparisons.  I will say that the entire system was sounding really, really good at RMAF.  I'll be sure to make the time to do before/after listening comparisons with the Gigawatt at Capital Audio Fest!


Vinnie,

Steve

Hi Steve,

No headphone jacks - but you can actually drive headphones via the dual XLR preamp output jacks (you need a L/R 3-pin XLR
female to 4-pin XLR female adapter cable for this).  It sounds excellent (better than LIO HPA module) - and the XLR output stage has very low output impedance and can drive most headphones with ease. 

Even going with an L/R RCA to female 1/4" (or 1/8) TRS stereo jack works very well with most headphones (but there will be 6dB less gain compared to the XLR outputs) .  And you can turn off the speaker output stage via the front panel when listening to headpones
(similar to LIO in that regard).

Any on-scene reports of L2i at RMAF?

Hi MP,

Here is a link, and I'll be adding to it soon:

Hello Vinnie,

I emailed the San Francisco vendor a week ago to setup an audition of Vinnie Rossi gear, but did not hear back. So, I emailed Mark last night and he got right back to me saying that the SF people are legit and should be in touch. One day last, still no word from SF.
I am not in a rush, so it is OK.
But, it is kind of a bummer.
I am really interested in your approach and want a chance to hear and play with your equipment.

Hi Steve,

Thank you for your interest in our products!

I just began production of the L2i and L2i-SE models earlier this month, and am still quite backlogged on many dealer orders. 

I am glad you contacted Mark.  He will be in touch with Audio Vision San Francisco this week, but they currently do not have
a unit in stock for you to audition. Mark and I will be away for the next two weeks attending Capital Audio Fest, and the New York Audio Shows.  Hopefully we'll have a demo unit shipped to your dealer not too long after we return from the shows.

Thank you for your patience and understanding,

Vinnie

Hi Alex,

Welcome to the VR forum!

Currently I am still selling factory-direct outside of the USA, but I am definitely looking to extend our dealer network
to Europe and beyond.  I plan to exhibit at the Munich High End Show 2020 - this should help jump-start the process.

Happy Holidays,

Hi Doug,

Moon Audio to make you a cable (I recommend 2 feet long, with a L/R split at 12 inches) that converts from
(2) 3-pin XLR female plugs to (1) 4-pin XLR female plug.  See attached screen shot from their website. 

The pin out is as follows:

L XLR:
Pin 1 = Not connected
Pin 2 = L+
Pin 3 = L-

R XLR:
Pin 1 = Not connected
Pin 2 = R+
Pin 3 = R-

4-PIN XLR:

Pin 1: L+
Pin 2: L-
Pin 3: R+
Pin 4: R-

If you want to have Moon Audio ship it to me, I will test it for you and will then include it when I ship.

I can confirm that running your headphones from the XLR out's works well with my Ultrasone headphones with a 4 pin XLR termination.  I had a similar custom cable made up from the guys below (useful alternative for European customers) and it sounds great, although I still need to listen properly to evaluate its sound.  Cost about £41.  I have a useful volume range.
