Soulnote A-1 V2 - der perfekte Vollverstärker
Der Soulnote A-1 V2 Vollverstärker spielt souverän mit bis zu 2X 80W/120 (8/4Ohm ) und strahlt mit einzigartigen Klangfarben und einer enormen Detailverliebtheit – in Klang , Verarbeitung und Design .
Um das beste aus Soulnotes Non-NFB Schaltung herauszuholen, wurde jedes noch so kleine Detail auf mögliche Verbesserung geprüft und angepasst.
Durch die vielen Optimierungen im Signalweg und einer verbesserten Stromversorgung konnte dem Klang noch mehr Lebendigkeit und Geschwindigkeit abzeichnen.
Die speziellen Ausganstransistoren werden für den A-1 nach bestimmten Kriterien ausgewählt und kommen nur als „gemachtes“ Paar zum Einsatz. Durch diese Auswahl wird die Klangbildschärfe und Dreidimensionalität noch einmal vertieft.
Erhältlich in silber und schwarz
This is a seller’s market for this category right now, because €4,490 sits well above the recent used median of €2,508 and even above the 75th percentile of €3,614. That makes the ask ambitious, not fair-market, and it would need something notably special to justify the premium.
The upside is that the A-1 is a well-regarded, serious-sounding component with the kind of build and refinement that appeals to buyers who want a high-end, low-drama piece in a system. If the unit is truly clean, from a careful owner, and complete with the right accessories, it can still make sense for someone specifically chasing this model; otherwise, I’d expect more negotiation room than this listing is showing.
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.
