Primare i25 Analog Black Integrated Amp 100 x 2

This amp's clean looks are living room ready Attention to detail, both inside and out, helps Primare's I25 integrated amp stand out from the crowd. The elegantly precise feel of the volume knob - milled from a solid block of metal - hints at the exceptional listening experience on tap here. In designing their audio components, Primare always prioritizes sound quality, but they also pay more attention to the look and feel than many gear makers. An amp with serious punch... and polish Primare describes the I25 as an "all analog" integrated amplifier. It doesn't include a built-in DAC for digital music sources. If you need that capability, check out Primare's I25 Prisma , which adds a top-notch DAC along with the terrific Prisma network player. The I25's rear panel offers five sets of stereo RCA inputs for your music sources, plus RCA outputs for connecting an additional amplifier, if needed. The I25 uses Primare's advanced UFPD 2 Class D amplifier technology to deliver 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms, and 200 watts per channel into 4 ohms. Class D has many advantages, one of which is the ability to locate the heat sink directly on the circuit board within the amplification module. This shortens circuit path length and allows for the power output devices to be directly connected to the speaker output posts. There's a persistent myth in audio that the "D" in Class D stands for digital, but that's not the case. The music signal is never converted from analog to digital and back to analog again. This is a pure analog amplifier that happens to use a high-speed switching power supply. Primare has been refining their Class D technology for over ten years, and reviewers describe the sound of their latest amps as unfailingly smooth and natural. Stylish sound from Scandinavia Founded in Sweden in the mid '80s, Primare relies on a talented team of designers to create its innovative high-end audio components. Among audiophiles, their equipment is admired both for its exceptiona
