    Default NVA amps

    Just noticed the thing about the NVA guy. Don't want to mention his name or anything but i would just like to know how good the NVA amps are. I have never actually heard one. Do they play Prog?

    The man does make some exceedingly good amps. Do they play prog? Well I currently use an NVA AP10H headphone amp (just like their power amps except lower wattage & with a headphone socket) with Grado RS1 headphones, and the combo just rocks so, so hard!

    As much as they take the piss out of me and me them, I'd be interested to hear what they're capable of.

    I too have heard them and yes they are superb amps, the fellow has some interesting ideas on amplifier design.
    System; Michell Gyrodec SE/ Orbe Clamp/ Gert Pedersen armboard mod/ HR PSU/ SME V / J7 Tonearm cable/Ortofon Cadenza Black// Jez Arkless Turbo nutter B------ /Trichord Dino+

    Amplification and loudspeaker set up is at the moment being split into two groups, comprising the following;


    1. Same sources as above; SONY TAF-770ES/SONY CDP761E/Cable Talk 3.1 loudspeakercable/ Harbeth Compact7ES2/ Stands

    2. Virtue Audio Sensation M451battery PSU, ClarityCaps upgrade/ Sensation M901/Russian PIO caps with Teflon bypass caps upgrade/ JT Dynamic PSU with various tweaks/ Connex Audio 5N Litz loudspeaker cable, Impulse H6 Loudspeakers.
