Re: JJ 2A3-40 DHT Single ended triode, power amplifier

After a week I returned to the P20/A20 and it was like a breath of fresh air. So much so, that I ordered the A60! When someone new comes to the house, they always say: "Oh! You have a Leben" . From now on I am going to say, "Yes. But I listen to NVA" Quite a nice tag-line for Ric...

Re: The NVA Ladder

So what did the cable upgrades bring to the music.
I think I tried to answer that on the thread: Super Sound Pipe & LS/5 At The Crack Of Dawn

But briefly I would say a fullness to the sound. Very pleasing.

Re: The NVA Ladder

I have done the cable bit, Doc -- a Black Friday purchase - so it looks like the A60 it is....

Are you still very busy?

The NVA Ladder

On the bleakest of mid-winters thoughts go to upgrading.... I have no wish to go all the way up the ladder - actually what I most want is "Peace of Mind"..... and unfortunately the starter set is not exactly giving me it - because I keep thinking - yes it's good, but it could be better (or...

Re: Returning to the P/20 A/20

I can't remember how I found NVA. I have been an internet-hound from the beginning and I was truly surprised, that I had never visited this forum before, but one fine day by chance I ended up here. And then of course I went to the NVA site - and I liked what I saw. I like one man businesses and the ...

Returning to the P/20 A/20

After a week's absence I have returned to the P/20 A/20 set-up - and I must say, that I am quite stunned! It just plays lovely music - unburdened by excess. I have struggled to find new words to describe it - but none seem adequate. And then of course the siren call starts. This is only the starter ...

Re: JJ 2A3-40 DHT Single ended triode, power amplifier

Leben.....now that's class. Thanks - and yes it is - but not for everbody. In many ways it is quite average and not exceptional at all. I think you need to appreciate the Japanese Aesthetic to really appreciate Leben and understand how "well-formed" it is. Understated Zen, and I will neve...

Re: JJ 2A3-40 DHT Single ended triode, power amplifier

Thanks for the reply..... After a solid month of listening to the Starter Set, i have now plugged in the Tubes - and am enjoying them immensely (as I did the Starter Set)... But a day will come, when the NVA's return - and I am curious as to what I then will do.... My hope is, that they can be a sup...

Steve - do you still listen to your NVA amp, or is it tubes all the way?
