General: The Aavik U-150 is a high-quality and modern integrated amplifier. This is the most complete edition, expanded to include the excellent DAC and Phono modules. This makes the Aavik U-150 extremely versatile.

Technical: The Aavik U-150 is a very powerful amplifier with very low distortion figures. The amplifier is a musical and very powerful Pascal UMAC Class D module. With its 2 x 300 Watts at 8 Ohm and no less than 2 x 600 Watts at 4 Ohm, the Aavik U-150 is capable of effortlessly driving practically all speakers on the market. The DAC has sufficient connections and can convert PCM signals up to 32bit/192kHz. The USB-B input also accepts DSD64 and DSD128, but this is downsampled to high-res PCM. The phono stage is a fully discrete module with floating ground; the design of the phono module in the U-150 is to create a very low noise floor. It is not a simple, cheap module; it is truly a complete phono preamplifier built into the U-150. This phono connection is only suitable for MC cartridges. The display is very legible, even from large distances. Of course, this display can be dimmed or turned off completely. Remote operation is performed using the included Apple remote.

Sound: The Aavik U-150 sounds spacious, tight, and very dynamic. The reproduction is extremely effortless and in an organic and honest manner. Despite the transparent and airy character of the U-150, the sound never comes across as technical or analytical. The live feel is present, and the emotional transmission is excellent. You can combine the Aavik U-150 with many types and brands of speakers; we have achieved excellent results with the speakers from sister brand Børresen Acoustics, as well as with speakers from Sonus Faber, or the magnetostats from Magnepan or Analysis Audio.

This Aavik Acoustics U-150 is in excellent condition; the only notable aspect of the visual condition is a small piece of plastic that broke off at the back near the spare fuse holder, nothing to worry about. The amplifier is delivered in its original packaging including manual and Apple remote control for operation.
