This
amplifier really has a sense of music, fast, balanced
from bass to treble with wide dynamic contrasts,
magnificent timbres rich in details and a three-dimensional
scene, the Aurorasound integrated amplifier now
becomes an essential. This is the "Best buy
of the year 2023"
HIFI-Review HK - August 2023
Although
the output power of the amplifier is modest, it
is full of expressiveness and can vividly reproduce
all styles of music, which is surprising. He is
as impressive in the rendition of instruments
as he is of all kinds of vocal works with rich,
textured expression. Hard to resist.
Audio Technique HK - October 2023
It's
detailed, nuanced, balanced, open and low noise.
Transparency, nuance and liveliness reach incredible
levels. This results in an expressiveness that
we often seek elsewhere, in vain, on more ambitious
electronics.

This
Aurorasound op-amp/tube circuit truly combines
the best of solid-state punch and bass with the
punchy liquidity and space of EL84 tubes in the
mids and highs, resulting in a crisp, spacious,
punchy sound that occurs in expansive spaces that
suggest "purist" tubes or much more
expensive solid-state amps...
David Abramson - The StereoTimes (August
2023)
I
can't sing the praises of the Aurorasound HFSA-01
loud enough to anyone looking for an integrated
amp that will feed your love of music with endless
enjoyment.

To
begin with, don't be fooled by the advertised
power! Once connected, the Aurorasound HFSA-01
integrated amplifier surprises with its ability
to drive speakers with disconcerting ease. From
the start, in order to push it to its limits,
we associated it with a pair of speakers that
were totally oversized for it or so we thought
(3-voice column, 4 Ohms/88 dB, > 9000 euros).
We were totally captivated by the quality of reproduction
and the ease demonstrated by the HFSA-01.
Clearly
the medium is sublime in its transparency and
neutrality. It offers unusual realism on voices.
The restitution is teeming with details and nuances.
The top of the spectrum is also particularly successful
and perfectly integrated with the rest of the
spectrum. The treble goes very high with surprising
softness and finesse. This register is very close
to what we find on certain very high-end electronics
with tubes. What about the serious!? It is superb
in its articulation and precision while remaining
very organic. The dynamics are surprising and
even unexpected given the power announced!
The
whole thing enjoys a balance and an elegance that
few electronics currently can claim. You can listen
to it for hours without any weariness or fatigue.
It infuses music with that extra soul that is
often lacking in many high-end electronics. We
also notice that he seems to demonstrate a certain
"joyfulness" which gives full meaning
to the much sought-after "musicality".
This integrated is one of the best that I have
had the opportunity to listen to to date.
This
amp reconciled me with the EL84 in Hi-Fi use,
even if I have always appreciated these tubes
for their dynamics and clarity in a guitar amp
for example! How is it possible to get so much
music out of such a small hit?
We also note an advantage, the retubing of this
Aurorasound amplifier will be very economical
(around 120 euros for 4 paired tubes). We only
know of one competitor and it is also Japanese,
but the latter is certainly less neutral and does
not offer a phono input. The HFSA-01 hybrid integrated
amplifier is certainly the best quality/price/music
ratio that you can buy! Well done again Mr Shinobu
Karaki! Our favorite!
Maplatine - France
Barely
10 minutes to fall in love with the musicality
of this integrated! The experience is great, lively,
joyful.
What success, what enthusiasm, what dynamism,
what fervor, what beauty! Thank you AuroraSound.
Magic mastering - France
It
was an extremely captivating product that gave
me a ton of pleasure per watt. Everything was
harmonious with excellent clarity and a good dose
of dynamics for such low power. The mids were
sublime, and the highs were astonishingly crisp
and fast.
Janine Elliot - HifiPig - October 2023
A
big, beautiful, joyous dream that captivated me
and made me happy every moment the music played.
Overall, at €4550, the HFSA-01 is an incredible
deal, and when I say incredible, I mean truly
incredible. If you've ever had a itch to play
78 rpm records, or if you already have a collection
of them but no way to play them properly, I can't
think of any other built-in amplification option
near the price of the Aurorasound

The
Aurorasound HFSA-01 delivers pure musical performance
and deserves a passionate recommendation and Award
from Audiophilia.
Audiophilia Award October 2023
No
one saw the HFSA-01 coming, brightness, punch,
liveliness, the new baby from Aurorasound has
not finished making people talk about it!
VUMeter - December 2023
Aurorasound
has nothing in common with similar constructions.
How did S. Karaki manage to create a universal
amplifier based on the EL84, which plays impressively,
with dynamics at all ends of the range - I have
no idea. The resolution and clarity are completely
out of the ordinary but from the first seconds
it is the spectacular space which attracts the
attention well beyond the framework of the speakers
and captivating the listener. I will immediately
test every next product he releases because he
really knows his stuff and his sound design is
engaging and captivating.
