“A tube amplifier is something special and demands a bit of attention. The LAB12 Integre4 Mk2 dual mono toroid makes this very convenient with its clever quiescent current setting. For common, non-load-critical speakers, the standard KT150 tubes should provide virtually no limitations in their choice.

Sonically, the toroid version of the Integre4 Mk2 conveys the feeling of wanting to convey a relaxed enjoyment of music to its listeners, thus taking a relaxed dance step alongside the high-fidelity sonic competition.

The sound is very coherent and wonderfully colorful. At the same time, the amp offers a high degree of detail and sensitivity. The whole thing rests on a rich, impressive bass foundation, upon which a harmonious soundstage is built. If you are looking for an integrated amplifier with classic analog inputs and no frills, but with a good portion of charisma for carefree music enjoyment, you will find a friend for life in the LAB12 Intergre4 Mk2 dual mono toroid and its touching sound”.
