Confirmation for 22 October, a few systems coming along inc an expensive Naim multi box setup with Ariva speakers and an active Meridian as well as a few tube amps.
Any NVA forum members here especially welcome with NVA phono stages (to replace my Graham Slee so to present a full NVA setup ) mono blocks and LS cable, I am using LS1 but would be interesting to hear a comparison with ls3 and above.
Shout out forum members.
Neil.
The Doc says I may be able to snag a 2nd hand mc phono for the bake off :P

I can tell you now, the Phono 2 will dance on the bones of the Slee, I know, I've owned both, (still with the Phono2 obviously :lol: ).
Would've loved to get there but I must be just about as far from Grimsby as one can get in this country. :cry:

I know Zebbo it should / must completely piss on the nva, so I wonder why the comparison has been blocked, or when made like by the NEBO bloke refused to be written about :roll:
