Fantastic tube integrated amp, no scratches.
Crafted in Italy. this amp is single-ended and operating in pure class A. The Piccolo outputs 6Wpc from two EL84s, driven by 12AU7s/ECC802s. There’s no negative feedback, dimensions are a tidy 9 1/2"W x 4 3/8"H x 11 1/4"D, and the weight is 20 pounds.
From Inner Magazine: The transformer is also said to guarantee an extended frequency response. The power tubes are autobiased. Output transformers have 4 and 8 ohms taps for different speaker loads. With wooden side panels and the aluminium shelter for the tubes, Piccolo looks quite cool. Compact and stylish. Distinguished. It looks like an audio object that is not meant to be hidden in a rack. ...with a majority of speakers I'd say that shortage of the volume should not be a problem. More importantly, despite its voluminous sound, Piccolo didn't sound messy. Music had calmity, stability and sensibility. - Piccolo was able to bring certain "inner life" and livelyhood to to the sound and music as well as a kind of stretched 3D soundstage.
The philosophy of Mastersound is simple: they want to produce amplifiers which arouse emotions in the listeners, every piece of music should arouse exactly the emotions the artist who composed it and the performer who played wanted to convey. The listeners should feel immersed in the music, absorbed in the execution of the piece enjoying the details of the voices and of the instruments in the most natural way, feeling emotions."
