I'll go 100/1 odds that they will say it is the best integrated period.

I believe it was this Soulution integrated that I heard at the NY show with YGA Carmel and it sounded fantastic! Imaging, vocals, soundstage were all very sweet!

Soulution Introduces Its First Integrated
By Larry Greenhill • Posted: Jan 15, 2013
At the 2012 CES, Soulution Audio's Cyrill Hamer introduced me to the Swiss company's reference line of 700 monoblock amplifier ($130,000/pair) and the dual-mono, dual-differential 710 stereo (now $55,000) amplifier Michael Fremer reviewed and liked so much in August 2011. At this year's CES, Soulution presented its less-expensive 500 line. While keeping the same appearance as the Reference line, the 500 line features different internal designs, including the company's first integrated amplifier, the 530 integrated preamplifier/amplifier ($49,000). The 530's preamplifier section includes a phono input, and an AV bypass option (called "surround") to integrate the 530 with a home-theater processor. Its amplifier section is rated at 125Wpc into 8 ohms, 250WPC intro 4 ohms, and 500Wpc into 2 ohms, the entire unit can deliver 45 amperes of current and has a frequency range of DC to 800kHz. Distortion products are at –l120dB, with a THD+N rating of 0.001%, 20Hz–20kHz. Inside, the 530 has 9 power supplies, totally separate preamplifier and amplifier sections, and dual-mono construction. Its amplifier stages are maintained with a high idle bias current to keep the unit in class-A operation. Using the 540 CD Player ($32,000) for source material, Soulution demmed the 530 integrated amplifier driving a pair of Magico S5 loudspeakers ($29,500/pair).

Re: 530 integrated
GTT called this their entry level room...
I actually preferred the sound in this room to their Kipod room next door. Must've been the Soulutions...

In one of two rooms sponsored by New Jersey dealer GTT Audio, YG Acoustics' entry-level loudspeaker, the slim-and-sturdy Carmel ($18,000/pair), was demonstrated with a 125Wpc Model 530 integrated amplifier ($49,000) and Model 540 CD/SACD player ($32,500) from the Swiss firm Soulution Audio, with cabling by New Jersey's own Kubala-Sosna. Here we see YG's Kerry St. James playing Deejay for a room that, throughout Saturday afternoon, appeared never to have an empty seat.

Re: 530 integrated
You guys are killing me with all these pictures! That's quite an integrated. I'm really drawn to the sleek, simple lines of it. The curved stamped aluminum is so clean looking. Time to buy my lottery ticket!

Re: 530 integrated
The top of 530 is the 520 preamp - redesigned from the older design showed above.
501 inside - 2 - 600 watt SMPS, 530 uses 4 of these and deliver 2400 watt.
In Europe 530 price is €31500, 520 - €15500, 501 - €30000 /pr.Last edited by wizard; April 27, 2013 at 01:08 PM.

530 is tall - higher than a 501 pair, and half the 520 preamp.My blogs Wizard High-End Audio Blog & Wizard Ultimate

Re: 530 integrated
Are those speaker's binding post tighteners (for spade lugs) made of acrylic?
