Unison Research Unico 150 Hybrid Integrated Amplifier
The Unico 150 is a hybrid integrated amplifier developed according to specific sonic and scientific criteria set by the design team at Unison Research. These criteria led to a product completely different from anything else Unison Research has ever released. That means it’s also different from every other amplifier—valve or solid state—on the market. Our research at Unison Research led to two circuit performance standards that are, to us, considered essential for excellent performance--a 3-stage circuit and a 2-stage circuit, both in counter-zero. The first type, used in the new Unico 150, is more suitable for integrated amplifiers with higher-than average power. The second type is a more effective application for lower powered amplifiers. Both of these approaches allow Unison Research to reach a standard of linearity almost impossible with the usual technologies that are matched to single-ended driving capabilities. In fact, the linearity of these new designs are downright remarkable
