<strong>The</strong> <strong>stereo</strong> <strong>integrated</strong> <strong>amplifier</strong> <strong>Audi<strong>one</strong>t</strong> <strong>SAM</strong> <strong>G2</strong>:<br />
<strong>one</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>all</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Audi<strong>one</strong>t</strong> <strong>SAM</strong> <strong>G2</strong> combines an excellent per<strong>for</strong>mance and unmatchable<br />
sound characteristics with compact dimensions. With a spacious yet subtle<br />
sound, it plays transparently and spati<strong>all</strong>y, sleekly, powerfully and is<br />
unshakeable, reproducing music in <strong>all</strong> its facets natur<strong>all</strong>y and ef<strong>for</strong>tlessly.<br />
Indeed, its richness of in<strong>for</strong>mation and t<strong>one</strong>, power and authority as well<br />
as its musical coherence will doubtlessly make it into a classic model.<br />
Six inputs, two selectable pre-stage outputs e.g. <strong>for</strong> the sub woofer, a<br />
bypass mode <strong>for</strong> integration into a home cinema system, a selectable<br />
headph<strong>one</strong> output, automatic mains phase recognition and <strong>Audi<strong>one</strong>t</strong> Link<br />
remote activation <strong>all</strong> make the <strong>SAM</strong> <strong>G2</strong> into a potent <strong>all</strong>-rounder leaving<br />
no wish unfulfilled. It can also be fitted with a high quality phono module<br />
<strong>for</strong> MM and MC.<br />
<strong>The</strong> technic<strong>all</strong>y unique complex circuitry is radic<strong>all</strong>y realized. <strong>The</strong> mains<br />
supply is strong and fast. This is guaranteed by a 700 VA toroidal trans<strong>for</strong>-<br />
Press commentary:<br />
mer, hand-selected main filtering capacitors with an opulent 96,000 uF<br />
capacitance, and the lowest-possible ESR, a speci<strong>all</strong>y developed input filter<br />
and highly pure gold plated silver cabling as well as a capacitively optimized<br />
layout with the shortest of supply routes. <strong>The</strong> ultra linear circuitry is designed<br />
<strong>for</strong> exemplary distortion-freedom, speed and stability. Sound-damaging<br />
influences have been almost entirely eliminated, exemplary reproduction<br />
stability is guaranteed.<br />
We use only the best materials, carefully selected, high-grade comp<strong>one</strong>nts<br />
such as high audio-grade capacitors, with a silk / hemp dielectric; highquality,<br />
close-tolerance film impulse capacitors and a high-quality silver /<br />
gold <strong>all</strong>oy <strong>for</strong> the internal cabling.<br />
<strong>The</strong> unit is controlled using a high-per<strong>for</strong>mance microcontroller with separate<br />
power supply. It enables operator-friendly access of comprehensive functions.<br />
A large display shows <strong>all</strong> the operating states and settings.<br />
Matthias Böde, Stereo: And then something very rare happens: the composition begins to “float”, the music comes alive and can truly be experienced. <strong>The</strong> high-technology of the<br />
unit is <strong>for</strong>gotten, disappearing in a mist of pure naturality. (…) <strong>The</strong>re is no question about it: the <strong>SAM</strong> <strong>G2</strong> is top notch heavyweight; champion of <strong>all</strong> the price classes.<br />
olaf Sturm, i-fidelity.net: With the addition <strong>G2</strong> to its name, this unit numbers amongst the most tonal <strong>amplifier</strong>s on the market. (…) Above <strong>all</strong> good characteristics is its impressive<br />
tonal quality, especi<strong>all</strong>y the enormous degree of musicality. <strong>The</strong> per<strong>for</strong>mance of the <strong>SAM</strong> <strong>G2</strong> leaves no-<strong>one</strong> untouched; its strength of expression reminds us of significantly more<br />
expensive <strong>amplifier</strong>s. <strong>The</strong> <strong>SAM</strong> <strong>G2</strong> is i-fidelity.net’s must-beat unit.<br />
Marius Donadello, av-magazin.de: Exceptional strength and generosity in <strong>all</strong> areas are paired with exceptional definition and subtlety. When playing ch<strong>all</strong>enging music, the <strong>SAM</strong> <strong>G2</strong><br />
makes an almost Olympian impression. (…) <strong>Audi<strong>one</strong>t</strong>’s <strong>SAM</strong> <strong>G2</strong> is true audiophile bargain. (…) <strong>one</strong> day it will become a classic.

<strong>The</strong> incomparable listening room which we have developed enables us to evaluate tonal signals and check their<br />
quality, so as to identify even the sm<strong>all</strong>est tonal differences. Without going into overly-much detail, you can expect<br />
that we have invested as much ef<strong>for</strong>t in this creation as we put into the development of our <strong>amplifier</strong>s and players.<br />
Experience an acoustic<strong>all</strong>y overwhelming environment in which absolutely no musical in<strong>for</strong>mation is lost.<br />
