SoulNote A-2 Ver. 2 Integrated Amplifier
Soulnote A-2 v2
Soulnote A-2 v2 is a fully balanced, non NFB integrated amplifier designed to preserve timing, texture, and dynamic swing while offering flexible operating modes for real systems.
Design and engineering
The A-2 v2 carries Soulnote’s discrete, wide bandwidth gain architecture with a short signal path and mechanical tuning derived from the Series 3 program. Revisions to device selection, biasing, and grounding reduce stored energy and lower audible residue, yielding cleaner transients and a more stable image.
What changed from A-2 (previous version)
The v2 platform strengthens current delivery and simplifies the voltage gain loop for higher purity. The driver stage also uses the same TO3P transistor as the output stage. By passing a large current through the driver, it instantly compensates for HFE fluctuations caused by current changes in the output stage. This is the biggest difference and breakthrough from the prior version. The power amp mode now hard bypasses selector and volume control for those who prefer a separate preamp. Chassis and top cover treatment improve resonance control compared to the earlier A-2.
Connectivity and control
Balanced and single ended inputs are relay switched, with a balanced attenuator for consistent channel tracking. Four modes cover integrated stereo, bi amp mono, power amp stereo, and power amp bi amp. Control logic is isolated so audio circuits remain quiet during operation.
What distinguishes it
Fast, high current drive with a lively, uncompressed presentation and the flexibility to act as a true power amp when required.
Who it is for
Listeners who value natural timing, wide bandwidth clarity, and the option to reconfigure the amplifier as their system evolves.

CEC is a Japanese audio manufacturer best known for its long-standing expertise in belt-drive CD transports and precision digital playback. Originally established with strong roots in mechanical engineering, the brand applies analog principles to digital audio design, focusing on vibration isolation, rotational stability, and smooth signal handling rather than aggressive digital processing.
CEC’s belt-drive CD transports and digital components are engineered to reduce mechanical noise and jitter at the source, resulting in a natural, fluid presentation that appeals to listeners sensitive to digital harshness. Because these designs rely on fundamental mechanical principles rather than fast-moving digital trends, pre-owned CEC equipment remains highly relevant. Well-maintained units continue to integrate effectively with modern DACs and high-resolution systems, offering lasting musical value.
Across Singapore, Malaysia, and Southeast Asia, CEC is respected among audiophiles who value physical media playback and refined digital sound. On SoundTribeAsia, CEC equipment — new and pre-owned — is offered by verified dealers, providing transparent listings, clear condition details, and the confidence of purchasing through a trusted regional marketplace rather than isolated private sales.
