The Pathos Logos MkII is a tube hybrid integrated amplifier: a tube preamp stage paired with a solid-state power stage. Pathos pioneered this hybrid approach with the original Logos in 2002, and the MkII adds a redesigned tube preamp section and upgraded power supply. It suits listeners who want tube warmth and texture but not the upkeep of power tubes, since the tubes sit in the preamp rather than the output stage. Against pure tube integrateds it gives up some of the last word in midrange bloom, but it counters with tighter bass, more grip and far less maintenance; against solid-state rivals it offers more richness and body. Reviewers such as Tone Audio's Jeff Dorgay praise its dynamics, speed, control and delicacy, along with its distinctive styling.

The Pathos Logos MkII is a hybrid integrated stereo amplifier. It uses a tube preamp stage and a MOSFET output stage. This MkII version adds power supply upgrades and a redesigned tube preamp section over the original Logos, which Pathos introduced in 2002.
The amplifier is built by hand in Italy at the Pathos factory in Vicenza, including the PCBs, chassis, capacitors and heatsinks. The heatsinks spell out the Pathos name. The case comes in matte metallic black or padouk wood, which is cut, sanded and finished by hand in-house.
Inside, a dual-mono power transformer is potted and encapsulated to reduce vibrational and electromagnetic noise. There are three separate stages of regulation: one for each channel of the power amp and one for the tube preamp. Each channel has 44,000 uF of custom-made Italian capacitors. The tube section runs in a fully balanced configuration, and the volume control is resistive.
