SoulNote Recognised at the Stereo Sound Grand Prix 2025

More news from Japan! We’re very pleased to share that SoulNote amplification has been recognised at the Stereo Sound Grand Prix 2025, one of Japan’s most respected and long-running audio awards, presented annually by Stereo Sound magazine.

The Stereo Sound Grand Prix highlights products that stand out not only for technical achievement, but for their contribution to musical realism and long-term listening satisfaction. Being selected by Stereo Sound’s editorial team places SoulNote among an elite group of manufacturers whose work has made a lasting impression over the past year.

SoulNote’s approach to amplifier design is deliberately uncompromising. Rather than following fashionable specifications, the brand focuses on circuit integrity, current delivery, and musical coherence — design choices that consistently resonate with Japanese reviewers and listeners alike. This latest recognition reinforces SoulNote’s reputation for producing amplification that prioritises musical expression and emotional engagement.

In the Integrated Amplifier Award, the A2ver2 scoops a spot, and not only that, but in the Power Amplifier category the MX3 are awarded also. 

If you read Japanese and have an interest in high-end audio culture, the Stereo Sound Grand Prix coverage is well worth exploring. It offers a fascinating snapshot of how some of the world’s most thoughtful audio products are being evaluated and celebrated in Japan.
