Yeah, it should be interesting.
We will get few units very soon.
However, we are in the middle of Virtue Audio tour and we do not want to split the audience into two camps.
By the end of the month I'll make the official announcement about AC tour for Maverick A-1, hybrid tube integrated amp.

Personally I don't think anything will compete with the Virtue TWO.2 .. but it will be fun finding out...

My reference was made to the tour itself not a product or comparison between these two. Simply speaking, .... one tour at the time.
But not to worry, I will break them in for you.

Oh yeah, and I am keeping my Sensation/with Dodd buffer regardless of A-1 performance.
But it doesn't mean that I can not make a room for another inexpensive amp.

Since I own Maverick DAC already, it would make perfect sense to invest small change in another reasonable product from Ryan's stable.
