MC input impedance is 100Ohm 440pF, the equivalent MM values are 47kOhm 220pf. +/- 10dB gain fine-tuning is possible by changing links JP102/10 on the board. The optional phono board replaces the standard AUX input and offers gain provisions for both MM (50-60dB) and MC (40-50dB) via clearly marked jumpers. The Unico is further fitted with a loudspeaker short protection circuit whose internal jumpers JP16/17 can be removed for bypass if desired. Unwitting mains interruption or brief power failure will automatically trigger the start-up cycle once AC flows again. That would indicate thermal protection and result in intermittent auto shotdown until the condition has passed or been remedied. When the lights go solid, the sonic curtain rises - unless the LEDs should flash again. With the aft power switch flicked, the unit undergoes a 20-sec thermal stabilization phase during which both small green LEDs up front flash furiously and the volume control should be set to mute/zero. You won't get my keys, but the review will take you on a passenger-seat joy ride nonetheless.īut first, final operational notes before I fire 'er up. To appreciate my own too-good-to-be-true (and while-the-going's-good) hasty acquisition reaction (to drive my radical but power-hungry AKG K-1000 earspeakers that still appreciate tubes somewhere in the chain) let's walk 'round the Unico as though it were parked in a ritzy lot drawing undue attention.

With 2-100,000Hz bandwidth, 9.5dB of feedback and the firm's "improved dynamic Class 'A' symmetrical stage with complementary power MOSFET pair" architecture, the Unico consumes 340 watts at full boogie, weighs a stolid 35 lbs but only measures 17" x 13.5" x 3.75" WxDxH. Instead, techno-geek poetry and artful rather than terminal execution.īack to today's stereo integrated. How the heck ever does Signore Giovanni "Diavolo" Sacchetti do it? No corner cutting on the insides either. Once they'd lift the bed sheets - er, Unico's top cover - such temporary insanity fantasies would hopefully soon be replaced. Many competitors will likely manage an unfriendly public smile in acknowledgment while silently contemplating assassination attempts. Four inputs, one tape loop and dual-pair speaker terminals. Super-chunky yet immaculately contoured knobs with luxo action. Then add the following: Sandblasted, very substantial natural aluminum fascia with wooden logo insert. wall-penetrating) remote and 12AU7 triode-based twin-tube input & MOSFET output stage. From our Italian peers of high style comes the suave, shockingly affordable Unison Research Unico 80-watt integrated with radio-frequency (i.e.
