VTL TL-5.5

The VTL TL-5.5 owes much of its performance/value pedigree to developmental work done on the VTL TL-2.5 line stage, from which it descends. The two triode line stages share a number of features: toroidal power transformers, robust power supplies for each gain stage, gold-plated RCA jacks, a glass-fiber circuit board with heavy copper traces, chassis of 16-gauge stainless steel, relay switching, and a laser-trimmed Alps remote volume control. In other ways, the 5.5 represents a significant advance over the 2.5.
