Ex-Display Unison Research SimplyItaly Integrated Valve Amplifier in Black Finish Normally 2000.00This listing is for our ex-display Unison ResearchSimply Italy Integrated Valve Amplifier in Black Finish, in excellentcondition, perfect working order and complete with original packaging. We are an Authorised Unison Research retailer.This item is sold with 12 months warranty.Ultra-linear, single-ended Class A integratedamplifierCombination of EL34 and ECC82 valves usedIR remote allows for convenient operationWhat Hi-Fi 5 Star Review – we can think of no fineroption than this Unison Research. Its well built, solidly engineered andsounds greatHi-Fi Choice – Rich open transparent sound;relatively small size; great value. Excellent sound and attractive retro looksfrom a compact, affordable designThe Simply Italy was inspired by the iconic SimplyTwo integrated amplifier from Unison Research, and produced to celebrate the150th anniversary of Italian unification. It’s been designed to be faithful tothe Unison Research tradition, by making it an integrated amplifier design thatsounds great and pays attention to important audio engineering principles thatreduce performance-affecting interference.Because of the overwhelming success of the design,the Simply Italy shares many of the design features of the Simply Two. Both areultra-linear, single-ended Class A designs that produce 12W per channel, andboth use EL34 valves in the output stage and ECC82 valves in the pre-amp anddriver stages to achieve Unison Research’s trademark imaging, clarity andmusical precision. But the Simply Italy offers a wide range of new featuresthat were designed and developed more recently.First, the output impedance has been adjusted from8 to 6, making the amplifier compatible with a greater variety ofloudspeakers. Also, since a true dual-mono configuration would be impracticalin such a compact amplifier, Unison Research designed a new Quasi-Dual-Monopower supply. In this configuration, the power transformer and first filterstage of the power supply are doubled, separating all pre-amp stages to allowfor lower cross-talk and low distortion.Thanks to Unison Research’s ability to designspecialised transformers in house, the Simply Italy is able to have an outputstage consisting of one EL34 in a single-ended ultra-linear configuration. Thismode of operation for the output transformers allows the pentode EL34s tooperate almost as if they were triodes. Furthermore, an additional toggleswitch allows for an adjustment of negative feedback in the circuit. This meansthe sound character of the amplifier can be adjusted to suit specific types ofmusic or listening environments.The appearance of the Simply Italy has undergoneradical changes, when compared to the Simply Two. The front panel is alocally-sourced wood that’s accented by contrasting wood inserts around thecontrols, that also acts as an anti-resonant support for the metal chassis.Then two stainless-steel bands beneath the valves add a touch of refinement,while additionally aiding performance by thermally isolating the valves fromthe electronic circuitry and output transformers. Finally, the control knobsare made from non-magnetic stainless-steel with a sufficient diameter andweight to provide a smooth ‘flywheel’ effect with excellent feel and rotationalprecision.The Simply Italy is supplied with an infra-redremote handset which allows for convenient control over input switching and thepremium motorised volume pot from ALPS. The back panel is finished with fourlarge gold-plated terminal connectors that allow any type of loudspeaker cableto be connected easily, alongside clearly marked RCA inputs for multiple audiosources.Due to the nature of the valve electronics in theSimply Italy, we recommend only pairing it with speakers that have a minimumimpedance (not nominal impedance) of 4 and are rated higher than 89dBsensitivity to avoid damage to the amplifier and overloading the componentelectronics. Check also that your speakers are capable of being driven by a 12Woutput amplifier.Key Features:Ultra-linear, single-ended Class A integratedamplifierBased on the iconic Simply Two designCombination of EL34 and ECC82 valves used6 output impedance for easier speaker matchingSpecially designed power supply to suit compact sizeSwitchable toggle for changing effects of negativefeedbackWood panel front plate adds extra damping to metalcaseworkClearly-labelled inputs and outputsIR remote allows for convenient operationRK27 Series motorised potentiometer from ALPS usedfor the volume potRC2 remote with black wood finish includedPremium Black Wood front panelPlease bid withconfidence, the item is exactly as described.
