Cyrus 8 vs Integrated Amplifier – Silver

In generally good condition with just light cosmetic wear comes this very highly regarded little 8 vs integrated amplifier from British specialists Cyrus. It comes in the typical “shoe-box” form-factor that they’ve been using since almost year dot, in its original packaging with remote control, manual, mains cables, and our normal three month warranty.
Cyrus Say….
The advanced Cyrus 8 vs amplifier is the latest development of the internationally acclaimed Cyrus integrated amplifier family. Given a top quality source the Cyrus 8 vs will paint a truly 3 dimensional acoustic picture with stunningly focused staging of images. Over the last 20 years Cyrus has learned to tune each section of the musical range accurately, so today the Cyrus 8 vs is able to faithfully recreate the subtle balance between length of single notes and tonal accuracy. The Cyrus 8’s sophisticated circuitry required extensive re-tuning after the inclusion of the vs preamp topology.
This was a big project lasting 8 months which ensured that the all important low level musical information was being transferred accurately to the listener. Just as in every Cyrus product, only once this subtle information is correctly balanced can the amp provide the precise sense of timing and rhythm upon which much of music’s magic is based. Accurate interplay between musicians is based on subliminal information and capturing this information is absolutely vital to the overall success of a hi-fi system. It is this ability of Cyrus to finely balance circuitry throughout our systems that makes our components sing. The Cyrus 8 vs is, we believe, a significant step forward in integrated amplifier design and will form a valuable and long-lasting cornerstone for your system.
