Известное издание в Чехии Hi-fi Voice протестировало интегральный усилитель SOULNOTE A-2.
Вердикт трудно описать лучше: The SOULNOTE A-2 is a fantastic, fantastic and once again fantastic integrated amplifier.
Czech magazine HiFi-Voice reviewed the Soulnote A-2 and it's spot on:
"The Soulnote A-2 integrated amplifier was one of the biggest surprises for us last year and perhaps not only then. Coming from the "former engineers of the Marantz brand," you probably wouldn't expect this kind of sound, generally not even from Japanese developers. However, within its robust industrial chassis lies an incredible potential, even in the context of a higher price range. Firstly, the "scalable" concept deserves great praise, where you can start with one integrated amp and, by adding more pieces, build up to a large, divided setup. But even in its basic form, you get a sound that is wonderfully transparent, clear, exuding energy directly, and aligned like soldiers on parade. The confidence, specificity, energy, drive, and explosiveness reliably captivate you, instilling a desire to listen to more and more recordings and enjoy them. The amount of life energy that the designers managed to capture within the A-2 is enormous, and its willingness to play is gigantic. The Soulnote A-2 is a fantastic, fantastic, and once again fantastic integrated amplifier."
