Simply Italy is a compact tube integrated amplifier that fully embodies the craftsmanship and sonic philosophy of Unison Research. Inspired by the renowned Simply Two, from which it inherits several circuit solutions, it represents a refined evolution, thanks to improved engineering, greater efficiency, and optimized production that helps contain costs without compromising quality. Each unit is entirely conceived, built, assembled, and tested in the Treviso-based workshops through a fully artisanal and 100% made-in-Italy process that reflects an obsessive attention to detail and tonal consistency.

Aesthetically, Simply Italy features a classic, elegant, and warm design, true to the Unison Research style. The solid wood front panel, enhanced by refined inlays, highlights the knobs and controls, while the brushed stainless steel plates ensure thermal stability and long-term reliability. The exposed vacuum tubes add timeless charm, making this product not only a high-end audio instrument but also a decorative piece that draws the eye.

The circuit configuration is simple yet sophisticated: four tubes in total, with a pair of ECC82 in the preamp stage and two EL34 operating in pure class A in the power stage, delivering 12 watts per channel at 6 ohms. Despite its modest power rating, the amplifier impresses with its dynamics, precision, and musicality, especially when paired with efficient speakers in medium-sized rooms. A small toggle switch on the top panel allows the user to adjust the amount of negative feedback—1.8 dB or 5 dB—even during playback, to tailor the sonic response to personal taste.

The rear panel features four RCA line inputs, one Tape input, a pair of high-quality speaker connectors, and a dedicated subwoofer output, ensuring wide compatibility with traditional sources such as CD players, streamers, and phono preamps for turntables. For those looking to further expand the system’s versatility, an optional USB DAC board can be installed, making Simply Italy an even more complete amplifier, ready for integration into modern digital setups.

Born from a deep passion for music and the desire to deliver an authentic and engaging listening experience, this amplifier showcases how Italian craftsmanship can merge with technology and design to create a product that stirs emotion with every use.
