"Fortunately, the Krakow integra, taking nothing for granted the complexity of the test and the breakneck melodic runs, played with surprising dynamics and resolution, not even for a moment forgetting about musicality, i.e. not only ensuring proper filling of contours, but also cohesiveness, coherence of the whole transmission. Thus, we received a full insight into the recording in tutti time, and the legibility of parts reproduced almost at the limit of audibility." "Circle Audio A200 not only looks like a thoroughbred high-end, but also plays with real class. Focusing on musicality and pleasure, it does not neglect resolution and dynamics, so it has a chance to appeal to a wide audience, which we sincerely wish it. We also hope that Circle Audio's portfolio will slowly expand and the Cracow brand will permanently establish itself on the market and in the consciousness of audiophiles and music lovers." Marcin Olszewski. "Music amplified with the help of the eponymous Circle Audio A200 was boiling with magic supported by saturation and beating warmth from every note." "Therefore, if I had to determine the percentage share of tube and solid-state technology in the presentation received in my room, without a doubt I would say that the result oscillates more or less 50/50 percent. In that case, why mix the two worlds when neither dominates? For the very simple reason of taking care of the listener's satisfaction through the consensus of the two technologies, i.e. giving the sound with energy and at the same time with cool intimacy, which the said amplifier does brilliantly. To this should be reminded of the phenomenal tangibility and building a 3D impression seasoned with well applied tube apparent sources. And also add information about the excellent impression of rendering the depth and width of the virtual stage." Jacek Pazio.
