Introduction to Integrated Amplifier Reviews

Integrated amplifiers are an excellent choice for those who want high quality performance from a two channel system. We review integrated amps of all types and we are finding more and more that offer advanced features like internal DAC's, WiFi, Bluetooth, video processing, etc. Secrets' crack staff is a trusted resource to help you sort through all the possibilities, guiding you as to which features are useful improvements and which may just be pointless marketing hype.

Like other amplification components, Integrated Amps are available with various topologies including tube or solid state but they also perform the important functions of input switching, balance control, tone control and the ever critical volume control. We help you break down these components so you will get a deeper understanding of what makes a successful product and what makes the others not so great.
