TEST REPORT Hi-Fi Amplifier
Hi-Fi Sound for the HomeVitor Martins Augusto
When was the last time
you heard music in really
good quality? Not just
„good“ stereo, but in a
concert hall with good
acoustics or even from a
high class audiophile sys-
tem? Maybe that‘s a long
time ago, because nowa-
days audiophile sound
quality is completely
neglected. Most people
nowadays are used to
portable music players
and of course it is great
to carry around a large
collection of albums in a
small mp3 player, mobile
phone or iPod. But with
such devices our hear-
ing ability is pushed into
the background, as the
focus is about the quick
consumption of mu-
sic: anytime, anywhere.
Home Hi-Fi systems were
replaced by surround
sound systems, which
are basically optimized
to reproduce sounds and
noise coming from all
directions, rather than
trying to obtain the best
music quality.
And so it comes that most
people no longer are aware
of how incredibly perfect
music reproduction sounds
and which dimensions,
depth and plasticity can be
achieved. This happened to
me when I was able to test
the Audolici A1/25 Inte-
grated Amplifier. From the
very first song by Joan Baez
–“Diamonds and Rust”, the
music flowed through me
and gave me goose bumps;
I closed my eyes and was
formally conveyed to the 70s
and before me she stood and
sang for me. When did I lis-
ten the last time to music in
this way? I do not know ex-
actly, but certainly a good
20 years ago. Back in the
late 80s a proper Hi-Fi sound
system was to be found in
almost every household, but
somehow this has changed
in the 90s and especially in
this new century. One en-
counters surround systems,
media centres and home cin-
ema, but listening to music
on these AV receivers is just
not the same.
And so I dove into the
This is Valeriy Kuchkovskyi, founder and owner of
Audolici. In his hands he is holding the incredible
Hi-Fi amplifier A1/25. He has all reasons to smile:
this is a truly exceptional amplifier.

world of music, spending hours lis-
tening to many amazing albums and
discovering new details in the songs
I already knew. All thanks to the
A1/25, an audiophile class tube am-
plifier from Audolici.
Very few will have ever heard of
Audolici, so first a small introduction
to this company. The history begins
with Ukrainian Valeriy Kuchkovskyi
who,back in the days of the Soviet
Union, worked in the Ukraine as an
engineer specialized in tubes. Do you
still know what a tube is, also known
as vacuum valve? These were used
before transistors and transistors
were used before the integrated chips
IC became the norm and are used all
over nowadays.
Early on Valeriy started discovering
the mysteries of audio circuits, espe-
cially the ones using tubes. Instead
of just using well known schematics,
he introduced his own ideas into the
circuits. 15 years ago Valeriy moved
to Portugal and in 2007 he founded
his own company Audolici, in part-
nership with INESC Porto, the Insti-
tute for Systems and Computer En-
gineering of the city of Porto, located
in the upper north of Portugal. Dur-
ing a period of five very productive
years, Audolici not only developed
a variety of tube amplifiers, phono
pre-amplifiers and studio equip-
ment, building up simultaneously a
network of specialized companies to
provide components of the highest
possible quality. The best known Au-
dolici product developed within this
period is the classic AUDOLICI-50
Series, featuring the Jazz, Swing and

Blues models.
These are designed in the
more typical appearance, in
which we see the tubes and
can guess the transformers
at the rear. While this de-
sign is a delight to any au-
diophile, normal music lovers
will struggle a little, because
these amplifiers do not fit
in a normal rack, cannot be
stacked with other audio
components and therefore
basically require a match-
ing set of furniture. This
will often cause some heavy
discussion between the au-
diophile and his or her part-
ner, even though the 50-AU-
DOLICI does look extremely
classy.
The initial years of Audolici
existence have been very
important to get a better un-
derstanding of the very de-
manding audiophile market,
too. Feedback came from all
over the world and Audolici
listened. And so it happened
that Audolici has developed a
new approach to tube ampli-
fiers and implemented it for
the first time with the A1/25.
It is a real tube amplifier, but
in a classic amplifier hous-
ing. Indeed, it makes one
immediately want to screw
open the chassis cover to
make sure that there really
are tubes inside the receiver.
And yes, 6 tubes reside in-
side, four tubes (type 6SL7)
for the first stage and two
tubes for the output power
stage (the famous EL-34B).
These are hand-picked,
which may sound unbeliev-
able, but it makes sense.
Despite the utmost care in
the production of the tubes,
it is impossible to produce
two tubes with absolutely
identical properties. Valeriy
therefore checks personally
all the tubes used for each
amplifier and only uses tube
pairs which sonically match.
It is no secret that Russian
tubes are considered the
best and it‘s no coincidence
that Valeriy knows all the
best tubes and where to get
them from Russia.
But hold on: Audolici am-
plifiers are not of the hand-
made category: yes, the
components on the board
are soldered manually and
all components are screwed
together manually as well.
But much more amazing is
the amount of real devel-
opment that has been gone
into the production of the
key components. The trans-
formers for example are pro-
duced by a Portuguese com-
pany specialized in this area.
Still, Audolici worked with
this company over years, re-
searching the best produc-
tion methods and properties
to build the finest transform-
ers for audiophile amplifiers.
It is not just about how to
wrap the coil: even the right
composition for the ferrite
core has been investigated.
Another example is the
black finishing of the case.
Yes it is black, but it is nei-
ther piano shiny black, which
perfectly reproduces any fin-
gerprints, nor is it the matte
kind of black, which looks a
bit cheap. It is of the perfect
smooth black kind, which I
honestly never encountered
before. Again, the reason for
this unusual finishing comes
from the fact that Audolici re-
searched the most advanced
materials and surface finish-
ing techniques available and
established partnerships to
1. The Audolici aplifier A1/25 in its full glory in the audiophile test room
2. This room not only has very good acoustic properties: it features the
unbelievable JBL Olympus C 50 speaker. Yes, they are big but what great sound
comes out of them. The small tweeters on top of the speakers complement them
perfectly and despite their size they feature an amazing weight of around 3 Kg
each.
3. The Audolici A1/25 was tested with the Sony CDP-X77ES, one of the best CD
players ever built by Sony.
both develop and produce
the finishing of the casing.
The result is a work of art
and I have witnessed myself
this commitment to excel-
lence, because Valeriy is not
unknown to me, as he lives
like me in Porto and our pro-
fessional paths have crossed
many times in the past.

The Audolici A1/25 is not
only design wise different
from other tube amplifiers.
It has another unusual point:
its price. While an audiophile
tube amplifier like the AU-
DOLICI-50 Jazz has a price
tag of around 7500 Euros
for the end user, the Audolici
A1/25 aims at approximately
half that price. This repre-
sents an unbeatable bargain
for an amplifier of this class,
particularly because Valeriy
did not manage to make this
amplifier sound worse than
more expensive models.
I was able to test this am-
plifier twice: first at my home
and then in a proper audito-
rium for audiophile music
systems, owned by a private
collector and audiophile ad-
dict. This dual test enabled
me on one hand to get to
know the A1/25 in a famil-
iar acoustic environment. On
the other hand, it was also
important for me to hear
the amplifier with speakers
evenly matched in a truly
optimized space, along with
high class components.
The first contact with the
A1/25 is marked by the
weight of the amplifier. Being
used to the keywords „com-
pact“ and „light“ – common
marketing keywords nowa-
days - it is surprising how
heavy a „real“ amplifier can
be. The A1/25 brings an im-
pressive 11.5 kg to the scale.
The casing is perfect. An
elegant front panel with only
two knobs and a switch and a
characteristic minimalist de-
sign. The left knob allows se-
lection of the input (CD, Tun-
er, AUX 1 and AUX 2), while
the right knob controls the
volume. Both knobs are solid
and heavy and have a high
quality finishing.The volume
knob uses an Alps 100k log
potentiometer, which again
is a sign that only the best
components have been used
to build this equipment. The
centre lever indicates the ON
state by means of a green
LED, which is integrated in
the switch. The colour of my
test equipment was graph-
ite black, but the receiver is
also available in silver.
On the rear side, the A1/25
presents itself again with
a high quality finishing. All
RCA sockets are gold plated
and the output terminals
for the speaker use a WBT
type binding post, which will
totally satisfy the most de-
manding user. Although the
unit is assembled by hand,
the A1/25 by no means looks
like a “do it yourself” am-
plifier, as opposed to many
of the tube amplifiers to be
encountered in the mar-
ket from other brands. The
manufacturing of the device
is very professional as you
would expect from a premi-
um Hi-Fi component.
The arrangement of the
speaker output terminals in-
dicates the internal architec-
ture of the amplifier, for they
are distributed symmetrically
and allow the connection of
only one pair of speakers,
which may be of the 4-6 Ohm
or 6-8 Ohm type. Having only
output terminals for one pair
of speakers cannot be re-
garded as a limitation, be-
cause the A1/25 is to be used
with a matched high qual-
ity speaker pair and it would
not make sense to connect
more speakers, nor to spend
money in the purchase of two
speaker pairs. Instead, Au-
dolici has been rather gener-
ous with the 4 inputs connec-
tor pairs. In this segment, it
is not that usual to have this
number of input connectors
available, but it does make
sense in the present days,
since music lovers no longer
want to swap cables to be
able to alternate between
different sources, like a CD
After setting up the
amplifier we were ready
to enjoy a long afternoon
listening to a huge
amount of CDs.

- Dire Straits - Brother in Arms -
„Your Latest Trick“
Fantastic, the saxophone at the begin-
ning of the song, then the voice of Mark
Knopfler. The drums precisely positioned.
The A1/25 reproduced this quiet song with
a fabulous visibility and at great ease. I
discovered in this song many new details.
- Sade - Promise -
„The Sweetest Taboo“
A great album in which Sade‘s voice re-
mains in the foreground and yet accom-
panied by a plethora of instruments and
compositions. Here, too, the A1/25 pro-
vides full pleasure. If you close your eyes,
you have Sade singing for you - an inde-
scribable experience – surrounded by all
the instruments and arrangements.
- Pat Metheny Group - Travels -
„Goodbye“
This album has grown on me and it is by
far the album I‘ve heard the most times
in my life. Therefore, this double CD is in
each of my audio tests. The track called
„Goodbye“ especially evokes emotions in
me. It is not easy for many amplifiers to
reproduce the tender sounds at the begin-
ning with the voice of Naná Vasconcelos
drawing a fragility that does not require
volume, but presence. The A1/25 mas-
tered this. With the volume knob set to
about half the quiet background composi-
tion had presence, while the voice was not
too loud. Interestingly, the A1/25 requires
the volume knob to be turned further than
other amplifiers to get the same volume
output.
- Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon -
„Time“
This song begins with a prelude that is
difficult for many amplifiers: the clocks
ticking and ringing. I was thrilled by the
Audolici amplifier being able to bring to
life each clock individually. Only the best
amplifiers in the world will be able to re-
solve the panoply of ticking and ringing
sounds with such a brilliance. But the rest
of the song captivates the listener as well
with the guitar solo leading the listener
through time and space. I have to confess
that I never experienced „Time“ by Pink
Floyd like this before. Naturally, I kept on
listening and “The Great Gig In The Sky”
sounded just fabulous!
- Arne Domnerus Group -
„Jazz at the Pawnshop“
Audiophiles know Jazz at the Pawnshop,
as most audiophile stereos will be tested
with this CD to start with. The reason is
not only because this CD was incredibly
well produced, but also because the re-
cording was done in a club full of people.
This CD is simply considered the best jazz
live recording ever. Although the condi-
tions were just far away from the ideal:
you can also hear clinking cups, chairs be-
ing pushed and people coughing. But this
is exactly the reason for the fascination
about this CD. The Audolici A1/25 mas-
tered this CD with flying colours. For me
this means: close your eyes and wait so
see whether the amplifier just manages to
transport me into The Pawn Shop. Yes it
does, I am sitting at a table and I‘m in for
a great Jazz experience.
player, a modern media player
with a digital audio output con-
nected through a DAC (Digital
to Analogue Converter - more
on that later on), a tuner or a
turntable through a phono pre-
amplifier. Overall, the appear-
ance of the A1/25 is discreet,
classy, yet elegant. Although it
is in principle a black box, you
can immediately see that it is a
special device. Sometimes less
really is more.
The cover is secured by 6
screws. Inside the case the
tubes reveal themselves, since
they occupy a third of the
available space. The trick to
the small hight of the A1/25
comes from the fact that the
tubes are arranged horizontal-
ly, rather than the usual verti-
cal position. A total of 6 units
are installed, 3 for the left and
3 for the right audio channel.
Like the speaker jacks the in-
terior of the A1/25 is totally
symmetrical, as is common in
audiophile amplifiers.
The printed circuit boards are
of excellent quality and all the
cables are of industrial grade
with professional connectors.
The device is the result of a
remarkable feat of engineer-
ing, combining „Old School“
with the latest manufacturing
techniques. Being located in-
Portugal offers unprecedented
advantages, because when
it comes to the production of
very small series, many highly
specialized companies are to
be found in this region, offer-
ing sheet metal production,
electrical cables, etc.
The 11.5 kgweight of the
amplifier is not only due to the
robust and perfect body but
mainly caused by the three
transformers especially pro-
duced for this amplifier. These
were prepared according to
the specifications of Audolici
in a specialized Portuguese
company. This expertise has a
tradition in Portugal, because
major companies like Grundig
were located in the vicinity,
resulting in a network of sup-
pliers.

To test the amplifier at
home I connected it to my
vintage speakers produced
by the German manufactur-
er Pilot. The bulky speakers
have a pure and solid sound,
because they come from the
Hi-Fi heyday, the early 80‘s.
To play CDs I used my CD/
DVD Player DVP-S715 from
Sony – not the most expen-
sive device, but still fitted
with a proper mechanism
and individual CD and DVD
heads. I have connected this
player both through the in-
ternal DAC and an external
DAC from Music Fidelity, the
well-known V-DACII.
To be able to fully take
advantage of an amplifier in
the 21st century there is no
way around using a modern
media player. It is so much
more comfortable to be able
to browse in your own music
library directly via a remote
control, rather than having to
constantly get up to change
CDs. Therefore I connected a
media player running the leg-
endary “Xbox Media Centre”
(XBMC), now available on
many platforms like the old
Xbox, iPod, iPad, Android and
even the Raspberry Pi. I used
a Media-PC to run XBMC and
connected it via the V-DACII
to the A1/25. Interestingly,
my media player gets the
music over the network from
a file server: analogue audio
meets modern digital elec-
tronics.
What can I say about the
amplifier? It is incredible!
You experience music in a
whole new context. It is as if
one has seen his life through
a matte glass, thinking that
the sight was the normal
one, when suddenly this
glass is removed and you see
the world in a sharpness and
clarity like never before. This
is how it felt to me. But just
as you suddenly can see the
image crystal clear you start
to notice all faults as well.
Suddenly you realize how
bad mp3 actually sounds,
due to the compression ar-
tefacts. Any mp3 file with a
bitrate of less than 320MBPS
simply makes no fun at all to
listen to. Worse, one even
discovers that some CDs do
not sound so great either, be-
cause they have been badly
produced. All this can not be
noticed using a regular mu-
sic player. To test the A1/25
I have therefore resorted
to well-known recordings,
which have been exception-
ally well produced, meaning
for example that you can lo-
cate all instruments in space:
I have listened to these
albums at home using CDs
(with internal and external
DAC) and using the media
player (with the V-DACII).
It was now time to repeat
the listening in an audio-
phile environment. While
the A1/25 was very tolerant
with my speakers, CD player
and theV-DACII, I wanted to
see the hidden power of this
valve amplifier when it had
to feed proper audiophile
speakers. I was lucky to be
able to use a truly legendary
classic audiophile speaker,
the JBL Olympus C 50. As a
CD player a Sony CDP-X77ES
was used.
Here the A1/25 could re-
ally show what‘s in it. I was
already impressed with the
sound quality in my home but
now the A1/25 just produced
a state of euphoria. It‘s so
amazing to listen to well-
known CDs on this system. It
is as if you were there, in the
middle of the action - see my
listening experience in the „
Testing the Audiolici with the
Best Available CDs“ section.
No question, the Audolici
A1/25 reproduces a well-
balanced sound with a spec-
tacular space. You close your
eyes and can position the in-
dividual instruments around
you. Especially acoustic in-
struments benefit from the
valve amplifier.
The Audolici A1/25 is a
masterpiece in its category.
Audolici has developed an
amplifier that brings enthu-
siasm among audiophiles
and yet at the same time this
unit is affordable to a wider
audience. The industry has
neglected Hi-Fi sound in fa-
vour of the visual stimulation.
Modern homes feature large
TVs in HD resolution and sur-
round sound, but with our
ears we can achieve quicker
and deeper relaxation and
immersion in emotions. I
wholeheartedly recommend
to all ourTELE-audiovision
readers to seek a demon-
stration of a real audiophile
system, preferably of this
amazing amplifier. Even if
you have no interest or pos-
sibility to buy it you should at
least try it out and I am sure
you‘ll hear the difference it
makes to listen to a real out-
standing audio system.
Inside of the A1/25. The
tidiness is the result of
yearlong research and
development. As expected,
the amplifier is mainly
symmetrically build. Here, the
tubes are installed vertically,
a unique concept. The two
transformers have been
especially designed.
