Hi Paul,

thought id just drop you a line re the above order number.

I am so pleased with the final result.

Just to familiarize you I purchased some second hand Cube 2's which were damaged in transit to me.

The acrylic casework on one speaker was chipped unfortunately on the rear right side which fortunately didnt affect sound quality but something had also been dislodged inside.

After liaising with yourself and Mark I delivered the speakers to Mark at Church Farm Stables in Corby. He quickly diagnosed the issue and reattached the speaker unit which had come loose in transit. Following a further conversation with Mark he kindly modified the Cube 2's to enable me to biwire them in future and made up some jumper cables for me to use in the interim.

I have since collected them and positioned them in my system - and crikey what a difference.

They replaced a pair of Cube 3's which I've owned and been very happy with for a couple of years but the upgrade in sound and presentation from the NVA P90sa and NVA M600 via LS5 is absolutely spellbinding.

So - I'm just emailing to say thank you to yourself, Mark and Tomasz for your continued great service and advice and going that extra mile. I cannot stress how convenient it has been to be able to access your services at Church Farm Stables and see your new showroom in the flesh.

Many thanks again.

My best amplifier for Quad ESL 57

Well today I drove down to NVA HiFi to collect my completed and upgraded NVA P70 monos . These were old eighties aluminium cases units not working . Paul and Mark agreed to look at them and then to my delight offered me options to get them working or be completely rebuilt . Decided on the rebuild option so they have now got new latest boards , two Tiger Torroids transformers per unit one for the input one for the output , four Vishay Mains Caps per unit new output devices and fully new wiring . So brand new under the bonnet but nicely aged patina cases . Took out my NVA S300 stereo amp and put the monos in had volume really low but once track selected they were making a noise . Edged the volume up and things sounded good but not quite right quick check and the output on my dCS Delius DAD had switched from twin AES to single quick adjustment and then things got better . I think despite them having had four days plus burn in by NVA they are going to need more as each time I left the room for half an hour or so they sounded better when I came back . How do they sound well the heading gives it away magnificent these are best amplifiers I have heard driving Quads ever and certainly in my room. I would include the M600 loan monos I tried in this . They sounded good and better than my S300 but not good enough for me to commit to buying them . Had they sounded like these units I would have bought them . Separation , bass texture , imaging , purity of tone the deception of thinking real people are singing and playing in front of you all of these these units do better than anything else I have heard . I think I have stopped looking for amplifiers this combination is as much as I could have wanted in my imagination . Sorry to gush but this is how I feel...

I'd just like to say how amazing your little pre-power amplifier is... it simply gets out of the way! I'm enjoying music again. Now to find a pair of speakers that can do it justice!! Many thanks...

LS3 speaker cables. Customer feedback from David. R. by email:

"They’re fantastic!! I didn’t think I I’d be able to hear ANY difference! I’m just checking if there were any LS6, whether they’ve already gone, how much they would be and whether you think I’d see a further improvement."
