You could argue that the integrated amplifier is arguably the most critical component in modern hi-fi. It combines a power amplifier, a built-in phono preamplifier (which you need to connect a ...

You can implement many fundamental building-block circuits such as a difference amplifier (DA) or instrumentation amplifier (IA) using discrete or integrated components. Design engineers often debate ...

Integrated amplifiers have become very popular again with audiophiles for a few reasons and we think it’s fair to say that expensive separates are becoming less relevant. Build quality matters.

We’ve said it over and over again: integrated amplifiers are the future of hi-fi. They’re the central hub to the modern hi-fi system, acting as a power amplifier with a multitude of wired and wireless ...

We take a deep dive into the best budget integrated amplifiers currently available from Rega, Yamaha, Cambridge Audio, Audiolab, NAD, and Iota. For this installment of “Best Right Now,” we sat down ...

Full bass management is a rarely found feature in stereo integrated amps, but the Parasound Halo has it, along with superb sound. Ex-movie theater projectionist Steve Guttenberg has also worked as a ...

In an earlier blog (Comparing Op-Amp & Video Amp Topologies, Part 1), we examined the bandwidth and phase requirements for processing video. In the most recent blog, we looked at the AC and DC ...

We think you'll get on swimmingly... When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. We first spied a prototype of Quad's Platina Series at the ...

It’s been five years in the making and now QUAD, the classic British hi-fi brand, says it is finally ready to launch its most accomplished range of audio electronics yet. The new Platina Series is ...
