Norma

Cremona, a place synonymous with the art of music for centuries, is home to Norma Audio Electronics. From Monteverdi to Ponchielli, Stradivari to Amati, the heart of music beat from inside this charming Italian city. So, it is no surprise that, for nearly two decades, Norma has been honing the craft of producing high-end audio amplifiers.

Just like Stradivari would make his stringed masterpieces, Norma merges technical skill with musical sensitivity to create one of the most sophisticated audio amplifiers on the market today. The designers at Norma know the importance of providing audio reproduction that is true to life. Dynamics, speed, and transparency all contribute to Norma’s ability to bring the listener an experience that is closer to “live listening” than ever before, to create outstanding musicality and a total absence of listening fatigue.

Heaped with praise by users and reviewers alike, Norma’s Norma Revo IPA-140 is an integrated amplifier that represents the definitive choice for sophisticated amplification. The IPA-40 is a behemoth of high power (140W/8Ohm) with the ability to drive the most demanding speakers, make it one of the most versatile amplifiers out there.

Its versatility is enhanced by the ability to customize input/output connections and connect the Phono MM/MC board. The product’s elegant sophistication appropriately works in harmony with its incredible sound personality.

The inner workings of this masterpiece echo that same sophistication and technical refinement using proprietary circuitry, offering regulated high-speed power and low noise, and is crafted using a thoughtful selection of the best materials available.

Just read what Alan Sircom, of HiFi+, wrote about the Norma Revo IPA-140:

“If you like what the Revo IPA-140 does and want more of the same, you’ll need to spend insurrection-funding doses of money to get there. If that summons up images of ‘punching above its weight’… then so be it.”

“This is an amplifier that I could see people using with loudspeakers costing £20k (US $32,000) or more without it showing itself up.”

“The optional USB arrived mid-way through the listening session, and it’s a corker too. It is an ideal match for the player, exceptionally clean, detailed and BS-free.”

“I’ll end where I began. Norma deserves to be better known. There are no bargains in audio, but this is an amplifier that can go up against amps costing £12,000-£16,000 (US $19,000 - US $26,000) despite costing the right side of £5,500 in its all-up top-spec guise.”
