Pathos InPol2 Tube Hybrid Integrated Amp Review w/ Upscale Audio's Kevin Deal 

I love the Italian ethic! The passion they put into their products is incredible, from food and wine to cars, clothing, music, etc, it’s all about the art of making something to fall in love with! Bella!

Kevin , I was in high end exhibition in Germany, biggest one in Europe with more then 300 hundred room with different brand , most of brands sounds shity, except very few of brand , you could also see from how many people are inside the room. Pathos was one of room that sounds very good , it blow up my mind , I didn't want leave the room. It was very punchy bass too , Greeting from Sweden

Can confirm everything he says. I visited their factory...and the Sonus Faber one which is relatively close. True italian manufacturing.

Always enjoyable and informative. Thanks Kevin. And Mr 4/20 got you some much improved lighting and production value!

Oh my, that is gorgeous, like a work of art.

I hope you do a video on the bigger power 200 watt a/b hybrid PATHOS KRATOS

Kevin truly has passion for anything good and for others in this business collectively. 👏

Absolutnie genialny w swoim przedziale cenowym wzmacniacz zintegrowany. Doskonała przejrzystość,. holografia. Do tego bardzo dobra dynamika pomimo 45W na kanał przy 8 ohmach. Poza tym absolutnie referencyjna tonalność nieosiągalna w tej cenie przez konkurencję.

10:00 It was Marconi, Signal Hill, Newfoundland, Canada. First Transatlantic radio communication through the air across the ocean. Great documentary and great analogy. I knew exactly what you meant. Love your enthusiasm. Your still lovin what you do. Absolutely Fabulous. Cheers

Now THIS is good lighting!

Just one of the little guys here, but as you say in your vids all the time “ we’re important too!” I’ve spent about 6000.00 with you. Not much in a lot of guys eyes, but big to me. Anyway, was excited to see the Rel ti series sale! I need the 9 to match up with my speakers. The Covid on line buying experience. Long story short and don’t want to make any waves, but 4 days of are you out and whoops I made a mistake and I didn’t end up with a t9i ! I did however end up with a very bitter taste in my mouth about how it went down ( as you say). Glad your a huge success and you offer tons of great stuff to buy. But the treat your system like it’s ours because your important crap is simply that CRAP ! Sorry just being honest. I’m 62, so I remember the old days too. There was a time when a dealer did what you try to sell as a philosophy! Yep maybe Im the one in a million that didn’t get it . But ya know! Some days a guy needs to say how he feels about it. In this day of point and click! Amazon may drop it off, but the warranty card in the box is the same. The rest you can research and go to forums to get an education. Venting complete! Gonna listen to music now.

Informative yes, but it's the PASSION for Audio that excites the senses. Thank You yet again Kevin...if had your financial resources😊🎶

Amazing lighting on the product, background and B roll on Kevin,...

Excellent review Kevin!!!

Kevey, you're great. But please turn up the lights. !!!!!!

Beautiful, quality brand ... thanks Kevin.

Tested in the German Stereoplay Magazin:"Very good" (82 points) Price / offer: Very good" “Extraordinary integrated amplifier, which ingeniously combines old and current technology as well as subtlety. Not too louder on normal speakers, but the sound is wonderfully lively. "

Hi, Uncle Kevin. Coming from a MC275 version V, how is this Inpol2 MKII vs MC275 driving a Mag 3.7i ? MC275 + PL Diaglogue Preamp + 2 REL S5 = Sound is fine. Don't like the SUBs setup through MC275...... May look for a different sound and setup. Any feedback would be helpful....

Hey dear Kevin I appreciate you enormous experience in field of HiFi ... I have a quetion for; please guid me Kevin. does Glenair 15 match with Inpol² ? how do you find them together?

PrimaLuna has been defeated. Good review and keep them coming.

Beautiful machine!

Speaking as a colorist. Just raise the overall gain of the shot and it should be perfect. You are most likely shooting it in a raw format and have plenty of headroom. Just try and match the white levels of other quality RU-vid channels and it will be great. Use the scopes in your software and it will pay dividends. The actual content is great, proper old school storytelling.

great video, please note that all your latest video seem a bit dark

Does he ever mention the price or did I nod off during? Some proprietors have a real big hang up talking about the dough...

Any info about the release of the replacement of the Tannoy XT8FS?

What's that receiver in the background?

I've heard they produce PASS Labs sound but with less bass and smaller soundstage ?

If I go out for a Sunday roast. I couldn’t give a flying fig whether the lamb came from New Zealand, New South Wales, or Newquay, providing it taste good. I couldn’t give a toss whether the potatoes were roasted in lard, goose fat or duck fat. Providing they were crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside.. the same principle applies to my choice of hifi components. If they reproduce music the way I like to hear it, how the manufacturer achieved that goal is of little concern to me. Neither do I assume that a product sold for £50000 is going to out perform a competitors product sold for £5000. A few years ago, both Rover and Honda released a family saloon onto the unsuspecting British market. They were the same car, only the identifying badges differed. The Rover retailed for £6500 more than the Honda, yet, it outsold the Honda by 3 to 1. Consumers believed that by paying more, they were getting a better product!

Kevin how come your not showing us the inside like you do on prima luna ?

Hi! Where are the power tubes?

Hi Kevin, I have a pair of JBL K2 s9900 speakers, 93db 1watt, would the impol 2mk2 be a good match?

Cost 100x the one I got and am impressed with it lol

Is the pathos sufficient to drive magnepans? Eg 3.7 or 20.7s?

This is how you sell good amp , 👍

I don’t get it. If you are waiting for your hifi gear being made you feel like a kid again waiting for christmas :) it’s awesome

Am i supposed to be impressed that a boutique firm uses a cnc to produce parts?

I will definitely take advantage if I got the bucks 😁

Interesting.

Actually Americans DO wait for Ferraris.

Nikola Tesla not Nikolay.....

Primavera vs. Pathos? Comparison

So the important thing is preamp

Whatever this is, it’s NOT a review.

Snake oil for sale?

9:13 that 4 pin connector looks like it's coming loose, guess too much was spent on the tree not enough left for a locking connector.

Yuckie

One of the worst amplifiers I've ever encountered being repaired that many times it's totally unreal I would buy something more reliable next time

Just a quick update the amplifier has broken down yet again do not throw your money away . These amplifiers are so unreliable they are what you call a bag of nails ... ....

Remote cheap
