When I find in a component as much to kvell about as I did in the VTL TL-5.5, I can't help wondering if I've gushed too fulsomely. But in head-to-head listening sessions against quality preamps that have afforded me enormous pleasure over the past few years, the TL-5.5's quickness, clarity, depth of resolution, layered soundstaging, and arresting midrange depth always proved warmly involving and musically compelling.
Richly detailed, tonally accurate, and nonfatiguing, the VTL TL-5.5 is a fine example of the midrange liquidity and human character that a finely tuned, non-invasive tube design can add to any signal chain by fleshing out a realistic palette of earth tones—even as its bass control, midrange smoothness, sparkling highs, and quiet authority suggest the performance of solid-state.
