New to the Audio Circle community and about 3 years into a rediscovery of hi-fi and system building. Once I overcame the Big Box brand mentality, I feel I lucked out on my first major purchase of a Unison Research Unico Primo integrated amp. It’s paired well with everything matched with it thus far: NHT Zeros, KEF Q150s, and by far the best, Monitor Audio 6G Silver 100s. I was pleased to see Zero Fidelity do such a positive review of the Unico Primo after I’d bought it and pleasantly surprised to hear him specifically mention a great pairing with the Buchardt s400 mkII during that speaker’s review. I’m here to share my experiences that bridge the analog ‘80s (a Technics setup with tape deck) to the at times confounding digital present. Also, to peruse and post to the trading board as the biggest mistake I’ve made thus far was rushing in too fast to secure “good deals” rather than good fits—and throwing the original boxes away (total noob!).
