Amplifier Audio Analogue Primo Settanta
The amplifier Audio Analogue Primo Settanta classical traditions Hi-Fi were literally turned at a different, quite unusual for us around the corner. The fact that the body is quite conventional proportions, front and rear panels are not on long and short sides thereof, so that the unit was very narrow in width and unusually long in depth. As the name suggests that it is hidden inside a traditional analog circuitry, but the controls are located on the front side are exclusively digital nature. And thanks to the company's engineers managed to achieve ultimate minimalist running. The only thing that has kept the familiar form factor - it's a huge handle volume and input selection is made by repeatedly pressing a single small button next to the power button. Another departure from the usual notion of Hi-Fi - an incredible frequency range. When quite familiar lower boundary 23 Hz upper limit, we can say infinite, because it is 105 kHz. In principle, this technique is known engineering long - range extension up shifts all distortions in that area that is not perceived by the human ear. However, in this case, the dimensions of this maneuver affect its scope.
At first acquaintance model pleases and puzzles simultaneously. The reason for that - we have already mentioned the digital volume control. Huge aluminum handle is able to make short turns in both directions, and then rests on the stopper. This is not only strange, but not very convenient - because of the small angle. The volume level is performed by sequentially turning blue LEDs surrounding the knob that looks very elegant and stylish and will surely caresses the eye. Sounding Audio Analogue Primo Settanta really can be described as an analog, soft, with a light veil across the audible frequency range. However, when all analog supply emotional background music is lost somewhere in the bowels of the amplifier and speakers, we hear only the sound of a clean, straight. The unit has its own style of music performance, which is noticeable in almost any content. Bass resilient, too delicate, which makes playing rock songs surprisingly ingratiating and intelligent. In jazz and chamber music feel some lack of air created quite unexpected blockage of the upper edge of the band (the one who extends to many tens of kilohertz further out of earshot). But when playing electronics and pop all of the above features are transformed into unquestionable merits. In the records of the same genres perfectly shows pretty bright accented middle. Classical sounds quite differently depending on the temperament and style of work, most Audio Analogue Primo Settanta likes peaceful slow melody.
Peculiar way volume control can be the cause of damage control, so it is especially temperamental or simply inebriated guests who make louder, to the amplifier is better not to allow.
For full disclosure, the unit should seriously attend to the selection of speakers - it will be easier than the load, the better it will manifest itself.
