The stereo integrated amplifier Audionet SAM G2: one for all. The Audionet SAM G2 combines an excellent performance and unmatchable sound characteristics with compact dimensions. With a spacious yet subtle sound, it plays transparently and spatially, sleekly, powerfully and is unshakeable, reproducing music in all its facets naturally and effortlessly. Indeed, its richness of information and tone, power and authority as well as its musical coherence will doubtlessly make it into a classic model. Six inputs, two selectable pre-stage outputs e.g. for the sub woofer, a bypass mode for integration into a home cinema system, a selectable headphone output, automatic mains phase recognition and Audionet Link remote activation all make the SAM G2 into a potent all-rounder leaving no wish unfulfilled. It can also be fitted with a high quality phono module for MM and MC. The technically unique complex circuitry is radically realized. The mains supply is strong and fast. This is guaranteed by a 700 VA toroidal transfor- Press commentary: mer, hand-selected main filtering capacitors with an opulent 96,000 uF capacitance, and the lowest-possible ESR, a specially developed input filter and highly pure gold plated silver cabling as well as a capacitively optimized layout with the shortest of supply routes. The ultra linear circuitry is designed for exemplary distortion-freedom, speed and stability. Sound-damaging influences have been almost entirely eliminated, exemplary reproduction stability is guaranteed. We use only the best materials, carefully selected, high-grade components such as high audio-grade capacitors, with a silk / hemp dielectric; highquality, close-tolerance film impulse capacitors and a high-quality silver / gold alloy for the internal cabling. The unit is controlled using a high-performance microcontroller with separate power supply. It enables operator-friendly access of comprehensive functions. A large display shows all the operating states and settings. Matthias Böde, Stereo: And then something very rare happens: the composition begins to “float”, the music comes alive and can truly be experienced. The high-technology of the unit is forgotten, disappearing in a mist of pure naturality. (…) There is no question about it: the SAM G2 is top notch heavyweight; champion of all the price classes. olaf Sturm, i-fidelity.net: With the addition G2 to its name, this unit numbers amongst the most tonal amplifiers on the market. (…) Above all good characteristics is its impressive tonal quality, especially the enormous degree of musicality. The performance of the SAM G2 leaves no-one untouched; its strength of expression reminds us of significantly more expensive amplifiers. The SAM G2 is i-fidelity.net’s must-beat unit. Marius Donadello, av-magazin.de: Exceptional strength and generosity in all areas are paired with exceptional definition and subtlety. When playing challenging music, the SAM G2 makes an almost Olympian impression. (…) Audionet’s SAM G2 is true audiophile bargain. (…) one day it will become a classic.
