It's difficult to fully articulate how superb the VP-80 is without sounding as though I have some connection to the manufacturer--which, for the record, I absolutely do not. I do, however, love music and this amplifier delivers pure emotional engagement in spades. This rather unassuming and relatively low-profile Hong Kong-based company makes stellar products that can sit proudly with their US / UK/ German / Japanese competitors. Fit-n-finish are first-rate, and even right out of the box with stock tubes and zero warmup the VP-80 absolutely eviscerates every sub-$3K solid state amplifier I've ever heard...and I have the very good fortune of working in the music industry which allows me access to top-tier equipment on a daily basis, so the selection has been quite broad. With some inexpensive re-tubing and a very moderate power cord upgrade, the VP-80 has quickly become my reference amplifier. Well done, Dared!Read full review

couldn't be happier, there are probably no speakers on earth that fit on a desk and this can't power! clean lifelike sound especially with great speakers and cables(speaker and usb/rca) the unit is very good looking as pictures do not do it justice! a true bargain whether used for a computer desk system or as your main system centerpiece. i am quite pleased with my purchase. if this were made in the usa it would be 2-3k in price, at least!
This integrated amp has worked flawlessly since I plugged it in. The switches are crisp to the touch and the front panel meter lights up well-it can be seen, cleanly, from across a short room. The sound is detailed, clear, and dynamic. The sound stage is appropriately good for an amp in the price range. A good value for the price.
Worked well right from the start...
