And whats the point of listening to a 1 minute update in German??

They improved the sonics on this all new Pure Audio ONE.2 Integrated amp to sound even more like a Tube Amp!

                                                                                                                          This could be one of the best Integrated amps that nobody has heard yet !

Could be my End-Game Amp to go with some new ProAc K3’s !

I hope it looks better than the 1st one

The improved Pure Audio ONE.2 is out now
  

One hell of a review here !

450 watts consumption during use OUCH

One of my concerns is what all that heat will eventually do to the preamp section


If you live in a cold climate it might replace a room heater

It’s a superb sounding amp. Done close to 400hrs. At the time of purchase the call was between Pureaudio one.2 integrated and Accuphase E 650 and I am very happy for my decision.

one word to describe its sound
 “ Emotional “

Good one luxman, that was funny...

Don’t be a newbie riaa, it says valve like performance in the review, lol. 

It says SOLID STATE right in the review title

What tubes does it take? Is it auto bias? How easy is it to remove the cage? Does it have a high gain factor that decreases the life of the tubes? Can you use a variety of power tubes?  What's the warranty. Any info on these questions?

Maybe when I can get one a lot cheaper in 5 years or so

Okay, but are you going to buy one?

Not connected with any of these companies in any way

highend666,
You should buy one, that is if the company didn't already give you one for all of the free advertising.

I’ll keep my Sugden A21SE signature single ended class A. I think its prettier and only costs $3500. IMO, and in the opinion of most reviews, it is the best class A integrated available at the price.

Having to push the source button every time you turn it on and the back panel don't work for me. I'm surprised they weren't able to do something about that??
It's not very attractive either. I'll pass. 

It says $10,000.

I think it looks fantastic!   Industrial looking.

Can’t find any information on price.

I like the look of this amp, seems though I am in the minority. But the odd binding posts and RCA layout is odd given the build quality, curious about the conversation that led to those decisions. No balanced inputs is for me a serious oversight.

Fugly.

I really dislike the mesh on the front and agree terrible use of the back panel those rca connectors are too close. But if it sounds good that's really all that matters.

The review mentions first watt which to me is nothing special at all.  We built a clone of a first watt which easily sounded much better.  100WPC class A is easy to make but difficult to sound great.  I don't see the inside so hard to tell how the ting is built but the reviewer says well built?  So the review to me is comparing this product to other products that IMO are not even average.  If you want a great sounding Class A amp go buy an old Luxkit and enjoy.

Happy Listening.

Why would anyone put the RCA jacks so close together?

agreed ^

It sounds like it's a good amp, but to me, it is really ugly visually.
