    It is no surprise to me that it is outclassed by other dedicated phono stages but reviewing only as a phono stage does ignore other stuff which as a unit it does very well indeed.
    Thats fair comment. We were only testing the phonostage part which is why i focused on that part.

    Thanks Mark. It's already drawing criticism in other sectors but it's honest. Can't be anything but really.

    The Paradise is on my "to hear" list

    I'm sure it is Oliver, but honestly, who gives a toss?

    Well the verdicts are coming in and seems NVA have done very well. The big winner seems to be in agreement with my thoughts that the price for the product is an excellent ratio. The NVA Phono 2 with extra PSU really was very good.

    Everyone hears differently and I'm no different. Good kit on display today.

    Shame there wasn't a Graham Slee there.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
