Offered is „Unico Due“ by Unison Research as exhibit from the category „Fully integrated Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1260434675 ends on 27.12.2026 at 11:07 o'clock.
Compared with the obvious alternative of buying a newer, more feature-heavy CD player, this Unison Research UNICO at €2,250 is a strong deal: it sits below the €2,267 25th-percentile asking price and under the €2,306 median from 13 recent comparable listings. That makes it genuine bargain territory rather than merely fair pricing, assuming “good” condition is accurately described.
The UNICO remains appealing for its distinctive hybrid presentation: a valve-based analogue stage gives music body and colour, while the solid-state output circuitry preserves drive and control. The original model is also unusually flexible, offering balanced and single-ended outputs plus digital-input/DAC functionality, while reviews have praised its natural timing, layered sound and full-bodied tonality. At this price, a clean, fully working example is worth serious consideration; verify the transport loads and reads discs reliably, and confirm the remote and valve are included.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Unison Research, an Italian hi-fi icon, traces its roots to 1987, when it was founded in Treviso by Giovanni Maria Sacchetti, a visionary electronics engineer and music enthusiast born in 1945. Sacchetti, who balanced a career in teaching with amplifier design, assembled a team of dedicated audiophiles driven by a singular passion: delivering profound musical pleasure through superior sound. From its inception, the company emphasized handmade craftsmanship entirely within Italy, evolving under subsequent leadership like Giovanni Nasta while honoring Sacchetti's legacy of innovation in tube-based audio.
The brand excels in valve amplifiers, its core strength, with legendary models like the Triode 20—the first integrated amp Sacchetti designed—and the Simply Two, which sold over 30,000 units and propelled global acclaim. Early offerings included the Glowy preamp and Ruler power amp, pioneering designs such as the first stereo amplifier using the 845 triode. Today, Unison Research offers a focused lineup of preamplifiers, power amps, integrated amplifiers, and select speakers in partnership with Opera Loudspeakers, prioritizing pure analog warmth over digital peripherals like DACs or headphones.
Positioned as a high-end boutique leader, Unison Research reigns as Italy's top tube amplifier producer and ranks among Europe's elite ten. Audiophiles worldwide revere its products for their emotional depth, artisanal quality, and timeless appeal, cementing a niche among discerning buyers seeking authentic, soul-stirring hi-fi that transcends mere technical specs.
