I’ve heard Nick’s stage versus a Paradise and preferred the Paradise. The NG had big dynamic swings but I wasn’t so convinced by the micro dynamic - in truth, it didn’t do a great deal for me.
Mark words, say it all, his listening experiences, as well as a collection of time served acquired preferences, as to what he perceives as a valuable presentation in a replay, are being fulfilled by a certain type of Device, and as stated, not from a device that persons would usually place as the top of their wish list, if hype only is followed as a recommendation.
Devices need to be auditioned !
It just goes to show how making a choice of a Phonostage Model, is very individualistic, to steer away from opportunities to make a assessment of a device, to mimic others in their choice, may prove to be a great experience lost for a prospective Phonostage Purchaser .
From my own experiences, certain devices performances are indelible to the memory, once a fully satisfying device is heard, the experience remains deep rooted, even if the device is way beyond a affordable purchase, the measure of what one wishes for is set, the process of elimination of non matching performances from devices becomes very easy.
Then every so often a little gem of a performer turns up, fitting closely to all perceptions and the recognition of earlier experiences come to the fore, reminding one, they are in the right ball park, closer to
their wish. If it is within Budget, then "Voila" Job Done.
The Search is over, all other discussion on such a subject, can go straight over ones head.

I picked up a Sony STR6055 receiver with on board phono stage for £69 and its that good I sold all my valve amps and valve stages. The only valve amp I have now is a Chinese 6P3P modified by John Howes to triode mode, I wouldn't sell it simply because John did it for me for free when I worked at his house and besides I sounds bloody good. Sounded very good into his voxativ ampeggio due speakers....I digress no more

still use my emotiva stage. its pretty decent for money. only thing i would realistically change it for now would be a variable gained stage, as im bluetoothing my vinyl a lot and the extra gain would help. not much extra needed mind... a few db probably

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.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
