SoundArtist SA 200IA Amplifier Integrated Control Review

Very clean, adds very little color to the sound. The bass is a little heavy, but my current listening room has wooden floors and the speaker I'm using is a KLH Model 5. This makes it difficult to get an objective view. I am very satisfied with the value for money of the system.

So excellent amp is very powerful you just need to turn up the volume to 25% of the volume control to increase the volume. Two small issues, the treble can be a bit harsh but can be adjusted with the controls and one that I missed when I bought and probably wouldn't have bought because it doesn't have a headphone output.

Surprisingly powerful for the price and well built. I use it with some power hungry Vandersteen Model 2c speakers (they need 150 watts per channel each to sound right) - the amp works great. Balance controls would be nice and the remote takes a minute to get used to, the volume up/down buttons are a bit fiddly. I would recommend this amp to anyone who needs performance - for the price it's the best value I've found. better than any fancy digital amplifier. Remote control is a good feature

I have two other built-in devices, Nad c320 bee and c316bee. The SoundArtist outperforms both amplifiers in terms of sound performance. It has better speaker control at low frequencies, so you get tight bass. Also, there is no drop in overshoot at higher frequencies, hence more detail. But what I really like is the mids, there's such realism in human voices that you can swear with your eyes closed the singer is in the room with you.

Heard about this amp on YouTube recently. I was able to buy it from Revain Prime for only $409. I found the price more than reasonable for the feedback received, despite the almost non-existent customer support and manufacturer information. In the past I've spent far more on gear than I've ever been happy with. It was securely packed in three boxes in perfect condition. I set it up straight away and hooked up some old MMG magneplaners. It handles them better than anything I've tried them with…

I would say the sound is very clear and complex, the picture was quite good. I was able to hear the details of my music with great control and detail, which is a revelation to me and incredible at this price point. The DAC in the unit is mediocre, not in the same league as the pre/amp. Might be good enough if you want to use it with Chromecast Audio. With a decent DAC and speakers, you're in audiophile territory. Add a Raspberry Pi based wireless streamer with USB DAC and Moode Audio and you're

There was a lot of hype about this amp in the audiophile community and I wanted my speakers to be powered by something more powerful than the NAD M10. So I used the M10's pre-outs and just used it as an amp. I could immediately notice a loss of quality. It was across the spectrum but most noticeable in the bass which got sloppy and the highs tightened and less open. Now it's not fair to compare it to the M10 and for $400 this amp is pretty good. But I think it's on par with other amps in this…

Heard about it on YouTube, decided to give it a try. I'm a sound lover, I have many amps to compare myself to, but I'm downsizing these days. Do audio research, walk through the lab, primaluna, nuprime, . For less than $500, this amp is hard to beat. What it lacks compared to multi-channel amps are sins of omission rather than irrelevant sonic extras. It has 8 output transistors, which allows it to generate a large current. This means the ability to drive woofers or magnetic planars. (The Pass…
