I have bought the last few Micromega IA-400 integrated amps from the US importer. The $3595.00 IA-400 is a very good 200 watts/ch integrated amp with 400 watts/ch into 4 ohms. It is very full featured with, Remote Control, a nice MM phono stage, 5 analog inputs, full tape loop, processor input, low noise preamplifier, preamp/subwoofer output, dual mono amp design with 1000VA transformers, a resistor ladder volume control and nice headphone amplifier. All input switching is done by relays. I have both black and silver.

These amps come with the 3 year factory warranty


The IA-400 is the same as the $5000.00 AS-400 without the DAC or Airplay. The AS-400 is Stereophile Class B rated with great sonic reviews. At only $1599.00, at $2000.00 off its $3500.00 retail,  the IA-400 is a killer deal. It got excellent reviews also in The Absolute Sound at its $3595.00 original price.

The Absolute Sound review of the AS-400 (the same as the IA400 without the DAC) said:
"Bass control was excellent, something I’ve come to expect from Class D power—the rolling thunder of tympani during Copland’s Fanfare being a prime example, the steady kick of the bass drum during Steve Winwood’s “Higher Love” being another. The Wilson Sophia 3, on the other hand, is a speaker that demands an awful lot from an amplifier. In most instances the Micromega was a model of unflappable consistency and the Sophia sounded fabulous."

"With compact disc, right out of the block the AS-400 had a powerful sense of midrange presence and stability, lively dynamics, and a pleasingly propulsive energy. For me, these attributes created a resolution of vocal nuances that instantly made this amp a top contender in its segment."

"Tonally, the AS-400 was neutral through most octaves with only a slight darkening on top and small losses of air at the frequency extremes. Piano harmonics were rich and full-bodied with a sweetness in the treble that I didn’t typically hear with earlier switching amplifiers. There was a reassuring sense of resonance and harmonic weight throughout."

Info from the Micromega website is:

Micromega, with over 20 years of experience in amplifier development, is proud to

announce IA-400, a very powerful integrated amplifier capable of driving almost all

types of speakers, even the most demanding ones. Despite the fact that the unit is

integrated, we can consider it as two different units in the same box: the preamplifier

section and the power amplifier.

The preamplifier is a very low noise state of the art gain section with extremely low

noise power supplies and sophisticated layout to avoid any ground loop. A specific r-core

transformer is dedicated to all low levels signals, avoiding cross coupling

between the two sections and preventing any disturbance from the mains line to

enter the product. Ultra low noise regulators are feeding the preamplifier section to

allow very accurate low level resolution. Input switching is done by relays and the

input impedance of 100kΩ guarantees that the preamplifier section will not load the

different sources connected to it. Volume control is achieved by a digitally controlled

resistor ladder with extremely low distortion. The output of the preamplifier section is

buffered by j-fet amplifiers and then balanced to avoid ground coupling between the

preamplifier section and the power amplifier modules.

 

The power amplifier section has its own 1kVA toroidal “quiet design” power

transformer, followed by ultra fast soft recovery rectifiers and 4x 10000μF smoothing

capacitors in a dual mono configuration. These modules are class D modules with no

less that 400W/4Ω output power capacity (200wpc @ 8 ohms). The choice of class D has

been dictated by our quest for reliability, size and sonic quality, together with high efficiency

and low temperature operation. The modules are protected for under voltage, overvoltage

and short circuit. A DC detection circuit prevents any damage to the loudspeakers in case

of a dramatic failure occurring to the power modules.

 

In addition, IA-400 provides a great number of features, some being unique to this

kind of amplifiers. A blue VFD display, with 7mm high characters, readable for up to

10m, gives at all time, a clear status of the unit, indicating channel selection and

playing level. A balance setup is available and has an indication on the front display.

A very high quality MM phono section will please all vinyl record lovers. A sub out,

associated with a pass through sub in, allows for different setup when using the IA-

400 in a 2.1 system or when using the IA-400 as front amplifier in a multi channel

setup. All inputs can be named from a library list stored in the memory of the unit.

Unused inputs can be switched off to optimize access time. A headphone amplifier is

available with a front output and its separate volume control setup is stored in the

product. A true monitor loop is accessible for users willing to insert an external unit in

the signal path.

The case work with its sandblasting finish, available in two colors silver or black, is

superb and the build quality is to the highest standards.
