Re: Stereonet reviews the NVA INT400 integrated Amplifier
I didn't spot him mentioning the demo at home and return if not 100% happy NVA sales policy.
Also this was a non-comparative review. It would have been better if he'd described how it sounded compared to 1 or more well known references. But then that seems to be typical of hi-fi reviews over the last 30 years.

Re: Stereonet reviews the NVA INT400 integrated Amplifier
He did mention other amplifiers and one was Exposure. This reminded me of when someone came round to hear my system over two years ago and his amplifier was Exposure. I posted about. It at the time mentioning that he seemed to enjoy what he was hearing and stayed longer than intended.Lindsayt wrote: ↑Wed Aug 09, 2023 4:05 pm I didn't spot him mentioning the demo at home and return if not 100% happy NVA sales policy.

A point about the review I like concerns how the amp is sympathetic to compressed music. This is something I can relate to on both of my systems.

We have an interloper from the Jokes thread.
