Audionet SAM V2
Basskontroll, veldig basskontroll.
Nøktern, nesten litt naimsk oppover. Altså ikke sprudlende i toppen, men oppleves nøytral og oppløst.
Fyldig, spesielt på stemmer.
Dynamisk i betydningen rask, presis og kontrollert når det smeller.
Det er noe i det som John Marks (Stereophile) skriver:
"It may be jumping to a conclusion, but perhaps the sonic similarity was accounted for by the fact that, like the darTZeel, the Audionet has only two output devices per channel and an unusually hefty power supply. But there is no free lunch, and I must admit that, as fine-sounding as the SAM V2 was, it just couldn't match the more-than-four-times-as-much darTZeel's refined sweetness in the treble and overall tonal lusciousness. Still, the SAM V2 sounded neither spare nor lean but
rather creamy, perhaps even "tube-like", and its dynamics were excellent. The SAM V2 was able to push the ESP Concert Grands to greater-than-concert levels with David Stanhope's performance of Sibelius' "The Tryst" without getting congested or raucous. The casework got moderately warm when the amp was pushed hard, but not to a degree to cause concern. Turning the SAM V2 all the way up on Sunrise, from Richard Strauss's Also sprach Zarathustra, created a most impressive imitation of a Saturn V rocket launch. Bravo.
The Audionet SAM V2 integrated amplifier's pros: sophisticated sound, great dynamics and bass, excellent build quality at the price, options allowing for great flexibility, solid value for money. Its cons? None that I can think of. "
Her litt flere uttrekk fra andre omtaler som jeg synes det er hold i etter egne erfaringer med SAM V2:
What HiFi England
This is an impressing product, one of the best constructed amplifiers we have ever seen. ...Only few rivals can reproduce deep frequencies with such control and resolution. ...it is the articulation and the rapidness, that points out the SAM in this section . ...Audionet's SAM is a deeply impressing main amplifier.
STEREO Germany
It is not only the power of its obviously existing muscles, but his nonchalance: Extremely relaxed it reproduced every kind of music. Its domain is the reproduction of voices: So much melodiousness and timbre normally must be searched with magnifying glasses.
A shining example how engineer skill and outstanding sound can be combined. Really a great amp!
Excellent * * * *
HiFi & Records Germany
The pureness of the sound shines, enables one to drop into the rooms of well recorded music studios, gives acoustic instruments plasticity and marvellous sound colours. But in spite of its neutrality and openness SAM also has charm. It has the punch and the fundament, but does not exaggerate. It always played very relaxed. On this level sound purity is no swearword. If one has once got used to it, it is hard to accept the sound 'fog' under the guise of musicality.

... Audionet stands for uncompromising, confidence inspiring component quality, reliability, outstanding performance, good service and high ratings in international journals.
SAM's remarkable properties are spatial reproduction, powerful bass frequencies and outstanding dynamics. It has enormous bite and control at low frequencies just like Audionet's poweramplifiers. Voices sound voluminous, warm, detailed and have body. ...Even Sam's phono module is highend. Especially the quality of the highs is remarkable. Actually, SAM is an overwhelming audiophile main amplifier and in my opinion a highlight within his price class. The finish is superb, the durability exemplary and the functionality is extremely sensible. Therefore SAM is a recommendable and excellent choice.

Audionet is exactly what one understands by 'Made in Germany'. Classic, flourishless design, excellent finish, extremely stable circuit dimensioning. Even the encapsulated 700 VA transformer and the both noble 22000 uF electrolyte capacitors from Elna promise heavenly power supply. The power stage uses two almost indestructible field effect transistors for each channel. Uncompromising is also the input switch section with high-value relays directly located at the input jacks and the volume regulation via foursome ALPS motor potentiometer. Regarding finish and value equivalent the Audionet without a doubt gets top ratings in this test field: No inconsistency, everything fits. Pure solidity.
The measurements of the smallest amplifier from Bochum were - as usual - sensational. An almost exact power doubling between 4 ohms and 8 ohms load and no considerable difference between impulse power output and constant load speak well for the extremely solid power supply. Distortions and noise are almost completely absent....
And the sound? Cream! SAM dashes around all tonal corners like lightning but nevertheless soft. He reproduces music with wit and charm....
Deep, precise bass, silvery detailed highs, generous three-dimensionality, precise focus, SAM has everything. Music reproduction, tickling like champagne!
Sugden A21SE
Har vært så heldig å ha denne hjemme over lengre tid og sammenligne med SAM V2.
Generelt:
Oppleves mye mer nøytral enn hva man skulle tro med A21a sin lyd i bakhodet. A21a gjør noe "magisk" når det gjelder å gjøre musikk av alt du forer den med. A21SE er mer direkte i så måte, jeg vil kalle den nærmere nøytral enn varm for å si det sånn. Den låter tildels mye mer "hifi" enn A21a og har mistet litt av særegenhetene på veien. Ikke alle liker SE bedre enn a.
Tøff og kraftig i bassen, øvre del av bassen vil jeg si. Godt med kropp i mellomtonen og litt "fest" i toppen.
I Forhold til SAM har den litt mer av nedre mellomtone/ øvre bass og litt mer sprut i toppen.
SAM er generelt litt mer nøktern i spillestilen, men har bedre presisjon og basskontroll/definisjon.
Den største forskjellen på disse er selvsagt kreftene.
Sugden er sterk, usannsynlig sterk til å være så få watt som den er. Takket være klasse-A drift så klart.
Men i forhold til SAM kommer den til kort i større rom med vanlig tungdrevne høyttalere om du ønsker å vri opp volumet litt.
Du går ikke feil med noen av disse, begge er høykvalitets integrerte forsterkere.
Valget bør være basert på hvilke høyttalere den skal trekke og hvilken kilde du skal benytte den med.
Lykke til
Mvh
Rolf
