Reviews

“It sounds exactly as clean as NFCA and THX-AAA amplifiers, but with an added liquidity that makes the music flow... Its noise level sits at 0.66 uV.”

“Regardless of the volume, SA-1 V2 has a really slow and relaxed impulse response, creating a smooth texture, warm and laid-back sound, it is silky and fatigue-free.”
