Pegaso Audio P50A

摘要

As a new arrival from Tuscany, Italy, and with just the P50A integrated amplifier in its inventory, it's possible you've not yet heard of Pegaso. On the other hand, many readers will be familiar with fellow Italian brand Audio Analogue [HFN Nov '20 & Feb '20], which has been in operation since the mid '90s. Both are stablemates sheltering under the umbrella of AF Croup SRL (also the home of AirTech), and they share more than just a postcode. The story is that new-kid-on-the-block Pegaso is leveraging the engineering experience of the elder brand while taking a wholly valve-based approach to hardware design. Audio Analogue, meanwhile, has in recent years focused on solid-state amplification, moving away from experimenting with 'hybrid' models.
