Interesting, must be an older model as the newer ones don't have the phono stage built in. Before pulling the trigger on this I'd suggest you get in touch with NVA to see if they will still service the amp if necessary and ensure it is still within specification.Originally Posted by martian sunrise

Wouldnt use it if it were shite lol. Better than all the others ive had, many at much higher prices. Super build quality too. Be cheaper for you in states as no import duty. Ive had mine for quite some time and it was great with a good mc as well.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

I ordered one. Have you ever opened it up? I'm guessing it's just a couple of op-amps.

You don't need a manufacturer to be still extant or offering servicing in order to get an amp repaired, no matter what the make (exception; a few high tech class D amps are repairable only by the manufacturer). Any decent engineer can repair any make of amp just as well as the manufacturer

We can usually improve them. We don't have a price point to work within.You don't need a manufacturer to be still extant or offering servicing in order to get an amp repaired, no matter what the make (exception; a few high tech class D amps are repairable only by the manufacturer).

I would look out for an Onix OA21. Great phono stage and lots of power. Sounds very good with Minstrels too.

Of course Jez, true. But the maker of this amp in particular would probably have something to say about it, such is his way.You don't need a manufacturer to be still extant or offering servicing in order to get an amp repaired, no matter what the make (exception; a few high tech class D amps are repairable only by the manufacturer).
