Angeboten wird „IT85“ von VTL tube amplifiers als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Vollverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 7694203515 endet am 02.10.2026 um 14:38 Uhr.
€4,500 is fair, essentially right at the market’s center: it sits just above the €4,491 median and well inside the €3,329–€4,497 interquartile band. That means this is not a bargain, but it is also not priced as a stretch for the model in today’s used EUR market.
That matters because the IT-85 is a respected, listener-friendly integrated with the kind of smooth, muscular tube presentation people buy VTL for: scale, drive, and a very natural midrange. At this price, the appeal is getting into a genuinely high-end tube amp without paying a premium. If the unit is clean, complete, and recent on service, it looks like a solid buy for someone who wants the VTL sound and can live with tube-amp upkeep.

Vacuum Tube Logic (VTL) traces its roots to the early 1980s, when recording engineer David Manley began designing high-fidelity vacuum tube amplifiers in South Africa, initially modifying Leak units. By 1983, the brand launched its first power amplifiers and preamplifiers under Vacuum Tube Logic in the UK for the European market. David and his son Luke introduced the products to the US at the 1986 Consumer Electronics Show, relocating production to Rhode Island and then Chino, California, as Vacuum Tube Logic of America. In 1993, Luke Manley founded VTL Amplifiers, Inc., independently, solidifying its American base in Chino, where all products are still handmade today.
VTL specializes in high-powered tube amplifiers and preamplifiers, emphasizing pure tube designs with simple circuit paths, robust power supplies, and premium output transformers for full-frequency response and minimal distortion. Their lineup focuses on delivering dynamic, musical sound reproduction, blending modern technology with user-friendly reliability. While not venturing into speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, VTL's components excel in recreating live music's vitality in home audio systems.
Positioned firmly in the high-end hi-fi market, VTL commands a reputation for timeless, reliable tube gear that appeals to discerning audiophiles seeking emotional engagement over gimmicks. Led by Luke Manley, the brand marries musical purity with elegant design and proven longevity, earning acclaim as a leader in high-performance tube amplification for over four decades.
