Unison Research Unico 150

The Unico 150 delivers everything you might expect from the top-of-the-line integrated offering by the Italian design house, Unison Research. It's remarkable in every way.  The 150 pulls you in with its understated front fascia: a rotary knob left and right, two rows of tiny blue function LEDs, a remote eye, and a logo.  But you have to realize there's a lot more inside given the size and heft of this amplifier.  

The electronic circuitry of the Unico 150 is laid out in three stages. The first two stages are of a triode tube type, providing low gain with low output impedance.  These stages then feed into a HEXFET Class AB output stage that emits power so effortlessly you will be drawn into the music in ways you didn't think possible.  The linearity of these design is part of the magic of the Unison sound.  

In addition to the base design, all elements surrounding these gain stages have been hand selected for specific performance characteristics.  The 400VA power transformers provide current to each "side" of the amp as if in a mono block configuration. The power supply circuits have been enhanced thanks to a substantial increase in filter capacitance size and to accommodate Unison's high-quality, shielded and proprietary power transformers.
