IT-85 Integrated amplifier
Owner’s Manual
VTL 2
A line stage with gain (and therefore dynamic headroom) always yields superior
sound in dynamic musical passages. This approach allows the use of a buffered
preamplifier out, for a subwoofer or for bi-amplifying. (Check the relevant section
in this owners manual for further details.)
Finally, the VTL IT-85 Integrated amplifier is designed primarily for the user
whose primary source is a line source. If phono is a primary source then a separate
phono stage will be required to step the cartridge voltage up to line level and to
handle the RIAA equalization needed to re-equalize the signal from the record.
Since this stage is usually a high gain stage and is therefore susceptible to noise, it
is sonically better to separate this stage from the power amplifier and its high
power fields anyway, so including this stage into an integrated amplifier would not
be of much benefit.

Electrical Safety Notice
Electrical voltage from power cables can be hazardous. We recommend that the power
cord used with this unit be connected to a properly grounded AC outlet. To prevent
electrical shock, do not remove the cover of the IT-85, especially while the unit is
