Cyrus 6 VS 2
Cyrus 6 VS 2 stereo integrated amplifier, 40 watts, with dedicated pre-amp output for bi-amplification and possible upgrade to Cyrus 8.
Description
The Cyrus 6 VS 2 is a stereo integrated amplifier with a power output of 40 watts, designed to drive a pair of speakers directly from a variety of analogue sources. It occupies the role of a versatile amplifier within compact hi-fi systems, with the particularity of being able to evolve technically through an upgrade to the Cyrus 8 model.
The unit offers six line inputs as well as a Tape input, each fitted with individually adjustable sensitivity: this makes it possible to adapt the output level of each connected source in order to balance the perceived volume from one input to another. Volume control is digital, offering precise and repeatable control of the sound level. A dual pre-amp and speaker output allows for bi-amplification or bi-wiring, two configurations intended to improve reproduction by separating the power supply to the bass and treble. The headphone input is described as intelligent, and a digital protection system monitors the unit's operation.
This type of amplifier is aimed at a user seeking a solid and upgradeable foundation for a stereo hi-fi system, capable of accommodating several sources simultaneously and of later hosting a more advanced configuration, via bi-amplification or a hardware upgrade to the Cyrus 8.

What to check before buying used
The motorised potentiometer of the digital volume control may develop jerkiness or channel loss after many years of use, and should be checked throughout its full range. The power supply capacitors deserve inspection if the amplifier has seen little recent use, as prolonged storage can affect bass reproduction. Each of the six inputs, as well as the Tape input, should also be tested to rule out any faulty contact, and it should be ensured that the digital protection system does not trigger unexpectedly.
