Description

Soulution 330 with Phono and DAC Boards

You've read the reviews, the 330 is fantastic amplifier! Clean, refined and powerful enough to drive anything.

This is a demo unit used sparingly. It was returned to the US Distributor, AXISS Audio, who has checked the unit. We've left it sealed as proof.

REVIEWS:

The Absolute Sound: "Among the 330’s greatest strengths were how it (somehow) seemed to convey musicians’ and singers’ individual styles and performances realisically with a high degree of detail and nuance—and it did so with greater consistency than I’d ever experienced in my listening room. On The National’s Sleep Well Beast LP [4AD], at the very end of the title track my ears picked up on what sounded like horns running rapid-fire through rehearsal scales; I hadn’t heard that before. “Carin at the Liquor Store” seemed to carry more weight of expression—even sounding closer to live—than I’d experienced in its playback on other systems. Higher resolution and textural details revealed compelling insight into the sad, slow waltz’s finer points, from Matt Berninger’s slightly raspy, throaty baritone to Aaron Dessner’s somewhat subdued yet deftly searing Fender guitar solo, which cuts through the bittersweet moodiness of Bryce Dessner’s slow-burn, slow-build piano chords.

"High-end audio is so often about compromises, trading one quality for another. What sets the Soulution 330 integrated apart is its ability to strike just the right balance of musical and technical elements within a winning feature set, and to manage to deliver the sonic goods beautifully across so many recordings and styles. Moreover, the company has succeeded in keeping so many of its best sonic characteristics while paring down parts and pricing. The integrated gets out of the way of the music in the right ways but delivers the right stuff. This exquisite Swiss integrated might still cost a pretty penny but if you have the coin, I’d highly recommend auditioning it. For those yearning for Soulution’s Swiss sound and tech built-to-last, with the 3 series there’s never been a better time to invest in some of the finest solid-state around."

Twittering Machines: "In most reviews, I make a point of emphasizing, while running the risk of repetition, that the music samples included herein are but a small sampling of the music I listened to through the gear under review. This was especially true of the Soulution 330 as I listened to as much music through it as I possibly could during its Barn residence for no other reason than pure, selfish enjoyment
"I prefer clear choices, who doesn’t, so I’m going to make this as easy as choosing between dessert and a toothache—the Soulution 330 integrated amp is among the finest amplification devices I’ve had the pleasure to live with. It is a clear stand out performer in every meaningful way, enriching all of the music I asked it to play. Regular readers know I love a good integrated amplifier. The Soulution 330 is an outstanding integrated amplifier, offering a level of refinement that has become my new standard."
