Re: It's Arrived!

Karatestu: Class A amp was a Pear Drop from BT Electronics. Excellent value but sometimes the sound was a little "grating". Changing just the amp in the system seems to have removed a harsh sibilance which was present on some vinyl. Certainly the NVA seems a more "relaxed" sound ...

It's Arrived!

My starter system arrived today - much sooner than the estimated time when ordered and a further week earlier than Paul quoted last week. All credit for the speedy delivery and the prompt email replies to my queries. The system is "running in" as I write but I am already impressed. I had c...

Re: Introduce Yourselves

Lindsayt: Whilst I do not know the sound quality of StevetheShadow's speakers I think the ready made Cesti's possibly represent better value. I don't know the complete finish build cost of Steve's speakers but my Cesti's cost little more than £300. Of course the satisfaction of building your own spe...

Re: Introduce Yourselves

Hi DavyTed. Hope you are enjoying the nva starter system. What speakers and source(s) are you using with it ? Stu The starter bundle I only ordered beginning of this week and delivery is 4 - 6 weeks so I have to be patient - not my strong point! Sources are a cheap Tangent CD player with Micromega ...

Re: Introduce Yourselves

Hi All, I've been lurking on here for some time and decided to join having just ordered a "starter bundle" from NVA. Previously had a Project Audio based system on the basis it was compact and unobtrusive but have decided to make the the loft conversion my music room - at least when the gr...

As a newbie on here, never mind what defines a world class amp - what are world class ears because regardless of price or design class surely it's how the amp sounds to the individual parting with their money matters.
