Just found out I paid £264 for the whole preamp back in April from nenevalleyaudio. I'm located in Norfolk. You may see a number of posts on variations of that theme. In the past few years, Richard was selling items at unsustainably low margins, nowhere near enough to support a 'proper' business. I...

OK - I'm not sure if I paid much more than that amount for the full NVA P50sa back when I got it brand new - I will have a think... I'm may redirect funds into upgrading the Croft 7 to Croft 7R.

One channel or both?

Intermittent or constant?

Crackling or pulsing?

Well the wee LS3/5A's go loud enough, loud enough to be uncomfortable. And whilst they will never cave yer chest in or have ornaments dancing off your shelf in the bass department, the bass they do is done very well. They certainly have a cult following. I'm on 12" woofers, these days, and wou...
