Just In: Primare I30 Integrated amp.

Hi! Guys.

Just got the I30 integrated amp from Primare. Here are some reviews that the amp received, which are also on the primare website.

I30 BEST STEREO AMPLIFIER £1500-£2000
‘It has the kind of performance that products in the next price class upwards would envy, yet has sacrificed nothing in build, finish or usability in the process.’
What Hi Fi? Sound & Vision Awards 2005

.."the I30 is a dream to use thanks to its excellent build quality and wonderfully solid controls. Add its sonic prowess to the mix and this integrated is a real audiophile bargain."
GoldAwardbyHiFiChoiceDecember2005

"The I30 sustains the good showing of the previous model, but is now clearly lighter on its feet, and less earth-bound when the music takes flight. Stereo imagery is also larger in scale, and there is a greater sense of air and space compared to the original model."
Hi Fi Choice June 2005 (Best Buy with the CD31 player)

"Place this elegant integrated nest to the leading opposition from the likes of AVI, Myryad or even Naim and it’s hard not to be impressed by the I30’s extra dose of class."
What Hi Fi? August 2005, 5 Stars

Also for the Pre30/A30.2 here are the reviews.

A30.2/PRE30

Second best stereo amplification in its price category.
Silver Award by HI-FI Choice December 2005

‘At all times, it seems, and across a broad spectrum of musical styles, this Primare combination achieves a highly natural sound that’s full of both life and information, which makes it exceptionally listenable in the long and short term and males for plenty of those ‘Hey, I didn’t know that sound was on that recording’ moments.’
Hi Fi Choice August 2004, Best Buy

‘There’s actually a dearth of amplifiers for this kind of money, and the Primare finds itself up against some serious rivals. On this showing however, the Pre30/A30.2 combination has the ability to take on the best and shine through, with a sound that’s rather more than just that of the company’s integrated amps plus a dose of extra oomph.’
What Hi Fi? January 2003, 5 stars, Best Buy 2003

“Overall the Swedish duo delivers a mix of strong build and features that’s very difficult to beat at the price.”
Hi Fi Choice May 2003, Recommended
