Well I am sold on the Vorzuge VorzAMP Duo as an excellent portable amp that contains one of the best tonal matches for my tastes in years. I thought I had this sorted with the Just Audio uHa-120 and the V2 Continental but this tops the both of them for my on the go amping needs. It is not as technically proficient as the neutral Theorem 720 but in terms of out and out musicality with some fun, if slightly OTT, gain switches and a form factor that bleeds pocket-ability the VorzAMP Duo for me is well worth the price if you need just one amp for the day. And don’t forget when I mean day I mean 24 hours and not a paltry 8-10 hours in playback time. IEM users might want to tread carefully with those gains switches and for others the cable might be a touch too long (especially AK100 users) but overall at $520 it is right up there. Honestly boutique players in the market seem to have a much better grasp of portable amping these days then the main players – what gives?
