I think he has become cemented inside his headphones and can't hear anyone. I am sure he will surface eventually for his Mince and Tatties, or to have a pee, or to get another can of McEwans heeaavy!

Sorry folks computer probs......
Will try a full report tomorrow.
suffice to say the NVA AP10h-JS is quite superb.....it raises the bar.

The reaction at TAS to Jammy's claim of the bar being raised.

The Nva AP10h-JS doesn't so much step up a gear, (via more substantial power supplies) it bolts on pair of turbo chargers and slips into overdrive.
Whilst it is quite obvious that the JS takes a grip of the music in a way that eludes the standard version, Higher high's, Sweeter mid's, More controlled low's are all immediately evident, it is perhaps the massive soundstage thats created by the JS thats the real killer....So much headroom / space.....The music effortless and grin inducing.
"Tori Amos" had me looking round the room for a piano...!!!
The track "Rosetta Stoned" from "Tool" has lyrics that are so dense and raw that both my Zingali's and the standard AP10h failed to convey properly, the JS just nailed it, laying the lyrics out before you with crystal clarity...!!!
"Tim Buckley - Live" ive heard subtle nuances on this album I never knew existed, the turning of the sheet music, Tim licking his lips !, the tuning of instruments, etc etc.
I wont list all the albums played, suffice to say ive played a lot.
To sum up...
The NVA AP10h-JS headphone amplifier is Jaw droppingly good and imo it significantly raises the bar in terms of musicality at this price point and indeed well above.
I am confident it would not be out of place in the company of any so called Hi-End Rigs out there today.......Any doubters fancy a bake off.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it.

Cheers Terry.
indeed I am.
A wee birdy told me that both amp and cans will improve significantly with burn in and both will benefit with at least a couple hundred hours under their belt.

This burn in issue with some high end (for want of a better phrase) hi-fi products has made me think that stuff up to year old should be worth more than brand new, as the work has been done for you

Especially with speakers. Good ones always need time to loosen up and run in.
