MP-I201
The MP-I201 is likely the single most extreme integrated amplifier in existence.
When Vitus Audio introduced the MP-S201 stereo/mono amplifier, people were asking – “will this be available as an integrated amplifier” to which the founder of Vitus Audio replied – “why not?”. It’s sounded throwaway, but he was serious. So the development of a suitable preamplifier for the MP-S201 power stages began.
This came in the form of remodelling the discrete unit found in the MP-L201.

While the MP-S201 and MP-I201 are the largest products Vitus manufacture to date, there is not as much free space as one would think. The linestage offers in total of five inputs, sensitivity settings between 2VRMS and 8VRMS to accommodate any source available and as always a true balanced configuration from input to output. Non-balanced signals (via RCA) are immediately converted into true balanced signals at the very first stage of the preamplifier.
Tipping the scales at a colossal 125kg, the final result is one of the biggest integrated amplifiers ever made, with a sound so far away from what one would expect from such a product. The power handling, resolution and fine micro details are only surpassed by our MP-M201.
