It is a superbly built amplfier that looks classy, yet understated. Unlike most other tube amplifiers on the market at the moment, the Soro does not display it's tubes for all to see - everything is concealed within the amplifier's case. For those that don't know, the Soro is a Class A single-ended line only 18 watt per channel integrated amplifier, with 4 inputs & tape loop. The tubes are made up of 1 x ECC82, 2 x 6SL7, 4 x 5881/6L6G. The MM Phono version adds 1 x ECC83 and 1 x 6DJ8. So overall, connectivity is good - my particular model has 2 CD inputs. I would have liked a preout, but mine doesn't feature one. I guess it doesn't matter, because my 2 REL Strata 5's are hooked up via the speaker terminals anyway. Speaking of which, the terminals are of very good quality as are the controls on the front panel. Prior to buying the Soro, I was running my Klipsch Belles with a fairly high quality solid state pre/power amplifier. I was rewarded by a rich and involving sound with a soundstage that stretched beyond the speakers.Īfter the amplifier was allowed to 'bed in' for a day, I did some serious listening.īut after some disatisfaction with the sound I was getting with the Belles, I decided to try the Audio Note at home. Top to bottom coherency was outstanding and the centre image was locked solid where it should be.

#Audionote uk oto se plus#īut what really floored me was the bass, How can a 'weak and insipid', lightweight tube amplifier out-perform a 150 plus watts per channel solid state monster? Well it did. In fact the Soro drove the Belles with much more control and authority in every aspect. To top it off, the Belles now had that tube transparency and vibrancy that I was missing.
