Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Micca origain a250 integrated amp is a very good amp in the price range. Paired with bookshelf speakers and a powered sub it can't be beat for the price. It pairs well with micca rb42 bookshe shelf speakers, and some older klh speakers i have.

Micca found out that i was unhappy, they graciously insisted on a replacement. I am blown away.

It does not come with any frivolous features. Reasonably loud with no audible distortion.

This means you can keep the power supply tucked away while the important part sits in plain sight. The toggle switch on/off is excellent.

The power plug is a little squeaky so don't have it plug in at any angles. This sounds every bit as good to me as my old 500w per channel carver class a/b amplifier.



Cons

Lasted 3-1/2 months, then started making a popping sound through the speakers. Now only a loud clicking is heard on one channel.

Quality


So far, i am very pleased with the result.


Build quality is fantastic as well, full aluminium construction.


Sad to say i'm disappointed because i was initially very pleased.


They offered me a free new unit with free shipping to reinstate my confidence with the product.

Price


Sure, there will be some negatives ones (you can find negative ones for amps cost 100 times the cost of this origain, to be sure).


Higher end, but i couldn't justify the cost, so we settled for this little wonder.

Competitiveness


I am powering two bose bookshelf speakers with a chromecast audio supplying sound.

The 40w marantz or an old rotel 50w power amp blow this away for volume, its not even close.


(a cambridge topaz am10, and an emotiva a100 did not make the cut.

    There are better amps out there for sure but not at this price point


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Connecting a grounded amplifiers analog audio input to a grounded audio source such as a computer with a grounded power supply results in groundloop noise being induced into the audio


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Another amplifier i have suffers from this issue when connected to my computer making it seem like the sound card is noisy or of poor quality but the origain connected to that same computer produces perfectly clean audio with dead silence in the quiet parts


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Due to the efficiency it runs only slightly warmer than ambient and there is no noticeable temperature change even after extended listening at the highest volume levels i find comfortable


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Measuring with a watt meter i found that the amplifier and its bundled power supply consume 3


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The power consumption only goes up a few tenths of a watt when turned up to moderately loud nearfield listening levels


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    To get the power consumption to rise by even one watt the volume has to be cranked up to the point where its a bit uncomfortable to sit near the speakers
