PS Audio Trio C-100

The PS Audio Trio C-100 is a combination of the $1000.00 P-200 preamp and $1000.00 A-100 dual mono power amp on one chassis. These products received very good reviews by themselves and when combined on one chassis are an even better value at a $400.00 savings, or $1595.00 for the C-100 integrated amp.

The C-100 uses the unique PS Gain Cell to remove an entire gain stage in its operation. It is therefore like running a high quality amp without any preamp coloration.

From PS Audio:

 "The C-100 control amplifier is part of PS Audio’s Trio line of small-footprint electronics, which also includes the P-200 preamplifier and the A-100, a Class D amplifier that Barry Willis praised in Issue 170. A paragon of efficient, attractive packaging, the C-100 shares the narrow width and long depth of the Rowland Research Model 201, which as it turns out is also a Class D amp. Not exactly bad company to be keeping. The look of the front panel is open and friendly with a single input button and volume-control knob and should appeal to all but the most electrophobic users. However, don’t call this amp “lifestyle.” There’s some serious engineering happening here. The dual-mono ICEpower output stage is supplied from independently regulated power supplies. On tap are 100 watts into 8 ohms and 200 watts into 4 ohms. On the back panel are three RCA inputs, and provisions for bi-amping."

This unit is is as-new, as is the remote.  Very conservative 8/10.
