An iconic amplifier design of the 1980s makes a welcome return
Bold, smooth and effortlessly musical presentation ; Good phono stage ; It now has a remote control
Still runs very hot ; Needs care in partnering ; Limited features
This is a chance to own an 80s classic built to modern standards. The A1 has limitations but is hugely charming all the same

This is a GREAT integrated amplifier! Compares very, very favorably to Class A Pass Aleph (I have both). Tube like midrange, warm articulate sound, full bass, low distortion. Plenty of power.
