With a good quality source, the Cyrus Audio 8VS2 can paint a truly three dimensional, acoustic picture, with stunningly focused staging of acoustic images. The Cyrus integrated amplifier gives a precise sense of timing and rhythm, through a finely balanced circuitry that makes the components provide their best. The 8VS2 integrated amplifier delivers a true 70 W plus 70 W RMS power into 8 ohms, and the chassis also houses a traditionally designed power supply featuring an oversize 330 VA power transformer and extra-large electrolytic reservoir capacitors. Dual charge pumps and linear post-regulators of the Cyrus Audio 8VS2 increase the voltage and stabilise the power supply available for the voltage amplifier stage. The extra headroom that this provides enhances the Cyrus integrated amplifier further, giving a full 70W 8 ohm performance. The 8VS2 integrated amplifier features the ultra-smooth, battery-like DC power of the PSX-R applied directly and only to the pre-amplifier stage through a solid-state switch. A high capacity linear power supply built from quality components, with linear regulation for the sensitive pre-amplifier circuitry, allows the Cyrus Audio 8VS2 to achieve a new level in sonic and technical performance.
