"...the VA340 Mk.II integrated amplifier was one of the best-sounding amplifiers I’ve heard in my system. Powerful yet delicate, it had a complex tonal palette and that legendary SET palpability. It doesn’t have a lot of features, but it has the ones that matter most. I think it looks great, and it’s built like the proverbial brick outhouse. Distortion is audibly low, and its frequency response is extended at both ends of the audioband. If your speakers can work with the VA340’s relatively low power output, it deserves a spot on your must-audition list..." Check out the entire review
