Angeboten wird „A-1 ver.2 inkl. der SoN-1 Füsse“ von Soulnote als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „Transistor-Vollverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 8954258798 endet am 08.10.2026 um 09:45 Uhr.
Against your used-market anchor, €4,590 sits above the 75th percentile of €4,581, so this is an ambitious ask rather than a fair-market deal. With the median at €2,498 and the 25th percentile at €2,496, it’s priced well beyond the typical recent comparable and leaves little room for a buyer’s margin.
That said, the A-1 is a serious piece of kit and well regarded for its refined, high-current, class-A presentation, so the appeal is real if the condition is genuinely excellent and provenance is strong. At this level I’d want clear evidence of careful ownership, complete packaging, and no functional quirks; otherwise, the price premium is hard to justify when the used market is already far lower.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Soulnote is a Japanese high-end audio manufacturer established in 2004 by former Marantz Japan engineers under the parent company CSR, Inc., headquartered in Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. The brand emerged from deep expertise in professional audio development, with Chief Sound Manager Hideki Kato bringing decades of experience from legendary amplifier projects at NEC and Philips. This heritage positions Soulnote as a brand rooted in serious engineering pedigree, though operating as a relatively boutique player with approximately 50 employees.
Soulnote specializes primarily in amplifiers and digital-to-analog converters, with a distinctive focus on integrated and mono amplifiers built entirely in Japan. The brand is particularly known for its zero negative feedback circuit design philosophy, a purist approach that sets it apart from mainstream manufacturers. Their product line includes models such as the A-2 integrated amplifier and various DAC offerings, all designed with an emphasis on dynamic performance and waveform accuracy.
Positioned firmly in the high-end segment, Soulnote occupies a niche boutique space within the audiophile market. The brand has cultivated a dedicated following among listeners who prioritize listening-based design methodology over conventional measurement standards—a philosophy that generates both passionate advocacy and skepticism within the audio community. With international distribution networks and approximately two decades of market presence, Soulnote maintains credibility among discerning enthusiasts, though it remains less established than major high-end manufacturers in terms of global recognition and support infrastructure.
