Following the recent demise of my power amplifier I have pressed into use the power amp section of an oldish Nad AV amplifier.
This sounds surprisingly clean and punchy, typical Nad I guess.

As this is going to be used for a while yet a question comes to mind.
The Nads internals are connected up using ribbon connectors....Dac, Preamp, Display boards etc, would I achieve any improvement in sound quality....and would it compromise the power sections performance if I powered down the unused parts of the amp?

NIGE.
