The review mentions first watt which to me is nothing special at all.  We built a clone of a first watt which easily sounded much better.  100WPC class A is easy to make but difficult to sound great.  I don't see the inside so hard to tell how the ting is built but the reviewer says well built?  So the review to me is comparing this product to other products that IMO are not even average.  If you want a great sounding Class A amp go buy an old Luxkit and enjoy.

Happy Listening. 
I really dislike the mesh on the front and agree terrible use of the back panel those rca connectors are too close. But if it sounds good that's really all that matters.
I like the look of this amp, seems though I am in the minority. But the odd binding posts and RCA layout is odd given the build quality, curious about the conversation that led to those decisions. No balanced inputs is for me a serious oversight.
I think it looks fantastic!   Industrial looking.

Can’t find any information on price.
Having to push the source button every time you turn it on and the back panel don't work for me. I'm surprised they weren't able to do something about that??
It's not very attractive either. I'll pass. 
I’ll keep my Sugden A21SE signature single ended class A. I think its prettier and only costs $3500. IMO, and in the opinion of most reviews, it is the best class A integrated available at the price.

 Some of the very best gear money can buy...AT ANY PRICE!
highend666,
You should buy one, that is if the company didn't already give you one for all of the free advertising.

@highend666

All the discussions you have started concern newly launched audio components.

Are you a dealer, reviewer, distributor, importer, publicist, or advertising agency employee??

What tubes does it take? Is it auto bias? How easy is it to remove the cage? Does it have a high gain factor that decreases the life of the tubes? Can you use a variety of power tubes?  What's the warranty. Any info on these questions?


It’s a superb sounding amp. Done close to 400hrs. At the time of purchase the call was between Pureaudio one.2 integrated and Accuphase E 650 and I am very happy for my decision.

one word to describe its sound
 “ Emotional “
450 watts consumption during use OUCH

One of my concerns is what all that heat will eventually do to the preamp section


If you live in a cold climate it might replace a room heater

They improved the sonics on this all new Pure Audio ONE.2 Integrated amp to sound even more like a Tube Amp!

                                                                                                                          This could be one of the best Integrated amps that nobody has heard yet !

Could be my End-Game Amp to go with some new ProAc K3’s !

I just want to say a big thanks to @highend666 

I don't know who he is and why he was suggesting this amplifier...but it's also thanks to him that I started to ''investigate'' and collect info/feedback about this amp.

I finally took the ''risk'' and, 2 weeks ago, I decided to buy it. A guy (amazing person, a musician) was selling it used...in pristine condition, not too far from where I live.

Well, long story short, this amp has been a revelation. Everything is purely focused on musicality...it's a joy to listen to it.

And, to me, it also looks amazing. Industrial and futuristic design.

I tried a lot of good amps, from Pass Labs, VTL, Trafomatic, Aaron, Hegel, Aavik, Grandinote... I was not expecting this Pureaudio to beat them all. It simply contains all the ''plus'' from the brands mentioned above.

RIP Gary Morrison, I'll jealously keep this hidden gem with me.

@highend666 ,

 

if you are truly not associated with the company at all or any of the other posts about new equipment you start and rave about with the !!!!! And the WOWz. What’s the deal? 

@mofojo That would be also my question ;)...but I'm not sure if the user is still active here on this forum though.

Anyway, in this specific case, now there is really nothing to advertise...as Pureaudio doesn't exist anymore as a company.

I just wanted to leave my genuine opinion about this wonderful integrated.
