As I've lately had the pleasure of reviewing some impressive tubed components, I asked myself why I hadn't ever reviewed anything from VTL Amplifiers. My history with VTL goes back to the 1986 Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago (wouldn't it be great if CES returned to that city?), where Vacuum Tube Logic cofounder <a href="http://www.stereophile.com/content/vtls-luke-manley-0">Luke Manley</a> and his father, the late <a href="http://www.stereophile.com/interviews/david_manley_tubes_logic_amp_audiophile_sound/index.html">David Manley</a>, made a big splash with David's preamps and amplifiers. To publicize the fact that amps were designed and made in Britain, the Manleys wore the cheesiest Union Jack T-shirts I'd ever seen
