Description

A-0 Ver. 2 Integrated Amplifier

Premium Silver / Premium Black

3 Series - Based on the knowledge gained from the series, the dramatically evolved version 2

Fully non-feedback discrete circuit

A fully discrete, fully non-feedback circuit is used throughout. The extremely simple configuration, consisting of a power amplifier with a selector and volume, is exactly the same as that of flagship models such as the A-3.

Single push-pull output stage with TO-220 transistors

The output stage uses TO-220 type transistors in a single push-pull configuration, which have low CoB and excellent high-frequency characteristics. This is a high-end amplifier that is fully focused on quality, which can only be achieved by limiting the maximum output to 10W.

4-stage Darlington circuit

Despite its maximum output of 10W, it uses the same 4-stage Darlington configuration as its higher-end model, delivering astonishing driving power that makes you feel the change in air pressure even at low volume levels.

Newly developed bias circuit

A newly developed bias circuit replaces the conventional LED bias circuit, dramatically improving signal-to-noise ratio.

Enhanced pre-out function

- For pre-out output, you can now select a powerful High mode that outputs the speaker output as is, or a user-friendly Low mode (same as the original A-0) where the output is attenuated.

- A mode has been added that outputs speaker output when a preamp is selected. A mode that stops speaker output (same as the original A-0) can also be selected.

- In addition to RCA terminals, the pre-out terminals are also equipped with XLR terminals. The XLR terminals have ① GND, ② Hot, and ③ Floating GND, allowing you to expect the noise cancellation effect that is a benefit of balanced connections. By using our non-shielded balanced cables such as the SBC-1 or RBC-1, you can maximize the power of the unit as a preamplifier.Non-fixed TOP cover.

Non-fixed TOP cover

By leaving the top cover unfixed, we have achieved a natural sound field and a sense of openness.

Direct Mechanical Earth Construction

By placing the feet directly under the transformer, harmful transformer vibrations are released directly outside the chassis. In addition, by supporting the product's feet at three points with spike pins, muddy sound caused by chassis damping is eliminated, resulting in a lively, soulful sound.

Why Choose Soulnote

Soulnote is a Japanese high-end audio manufacturer renowned for producing highly individual amplifiers and source components designed around speed, openness, and preserving the emotional energy within music. Founded by former Marantz Japan engineer Norinaga Nakazawa, Soulnote products deliberately challenge many conventional Hi-Fi engineering approaches in pursuit of a more immediate, dynamic, and musically alive presentation.

What makes Soulnote particularly distinctive is the company’s philosophy of minimising mechanical and electrical constraint throughout the signal path. Rather than excessively damping components or pursuing ultra-measured sterility, Soulnote designs focus heavily on energy flow, transient freedom, and preserving the natural movement and timing within recordings. The result is a sound that feels remarkably open, spacious, and emotionally engaging.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Soulnote products stand apart for their ability to combine extraordinary resolution and speed with a highly organic and immersive musical presentation. There is an effortlessness and vitality to the sound that can make many conventional electronics feel comparatively restrained or mechanically controlled.

Signature Design and Sound

Manufactured in Japan, Soulnote products are engineered around fully discrete analogue circuits, non-NFB (negative feedback) amplifier architectures, oversized linear power supplies, floating mechanical structures, and highly refined grounding implementations designed to minimise energy storage and preserve transient realism.

One of the defining aspects of Soulnote’s philosophy is the company’s rejection of excessive mechanical damping. Components within the chassis are often deliberately allowed to “float” mechanically rather than being rigidly constrained, based on the belief that excessive damping can suppress musical energy and natural dynamic expression. This gives Soulnote products a very distinct engineering identity within high-end audio.

The A-0, A-1, and A-2 integrated amplifiers showcase this philosophy beautifully. Despite their relatively compact and elegant appearance, these amplifiers deliver exceptional speed, current capability, and dynamic realism together with remarkable transparency and tonal purity. The presentation feels highly open and holographic, with impressive image separation and transient articulation while still retaining body and musical coherence.

The E-2 Version 2 phono preamplifier has become especially admired amongst analogue enthusiasts due to its extraordinary flexibility and refinement. One of its major strengths is the extensive cartridge equalisation and loading capability available within the design, allowing precise optimisation across a wide range of moving coil and moving magnet cartridges. This level of adjustability allows customers to extract significantly greater performance and tonal balance from their analogue systems while tailoring the interface more accurately to individual cartridge behaviour.

Sonically, Soulnote products are known for their speed, dimensionality, and remarkably free-flowing musical presentation. Instruments and vocals emerge with exceptional openness and low-level detail retrieval, while the soundstage feels expansive, layered, and highly immersive without becoming analytical or emotionally detached.

Soulnote Product Range

The Soulnote range available through HeyNow Hi-Fi includes integrated amplifiers, DACs, CD players, network transports, phono preamplifiers, and reference-level analogue electronics designed for listeners seeking maximum musical openness and dynamic realism.

Products including the A-0, A-1, A-2, and E-2 Version 2 showcase the company’s highly individual engineering philosophy and commitment to preserving musical energy and emotional communication throughout the playback chain.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Geoff and his experienced analogue and system setup team provide assistance with amplifier matching, cartridge integration, analogue optimisation, and complete system configuration to ensure Soulnote products perform at their full capability within each customer’s listening environment.
