This is an inexpensive yet very nice integrated amp...It has 5 inputs and a buffered pre out for biamping or running a subwoofer. It is 20 watts per side. It is extremely quiet and very beautiful sounding from top to bottom.. It is about 2 years old. Made by Pedja of Audial who is well known for his NOS 1541a Dacs.. here are his comments about the amp"Concise topology, rich performance.
The A20 is the real successor to the already great Model A, and it is also, due to five inputs and friendly input impedance, notably more compatible with different systems. The A20 employs a digitally controlled resistive network potentiometer chip, and integrated circuit as the power output stage, to develop a stunning performance. Other than the output wiring, the signal path is only a bit longer than the length of the parts themselves. The A20 also includes: ● JFET buffered line pre-out ● High-quality parts, including Toshiba and National / Texas Instruments semiconductors, Panasonic and Elna capacitors, and Vishay carbon resistors ● Discrete, zero-feedback regulated supply for line-level circuits ● Tinned copper (RoHS compliant) printed circuit board (no nickel here) ● Pure copper, Audial made binding posts ● Volume and balance control and input selection are simply operated by a single knob " There are a couple of slight dings on it, so I rated it a 7. Overall, very nice appearnce
