The amp or the T/T?

The amp

RodS · January 21, 2023, 5:37pm

I am sure you will enjoy it.

UliR · January 21, 2023, 5:40pm

Happy listening!

Jarre spotted. Excellent taste for music

You can disable those annoying blue meter thing’s?
Very sweet piece of kit, iconic meters

SandsOfArrakis · January 21, 2023, 5:44pm

I guess you can put duct tape over them

David_Crosbie1 · January 21, 2023, 5:45pm

You can turn them off too

OffRode · January 21, 2023, 5:48pm

Duct tape………noooooo

I’d get eye strain getting stuck on those baby’s

Jim_F · January 21, 2023, 5:57pm

No, put the duct tape over your eyes.

Changing a rack takes quite a bit of time ,more than anyone who hasn’t done it ,would think.

Traian_Boldea · January 21, 2023, 6:53pm

sweet looking stand, I love it

Your tv gave me this idea: I’ll take pictures of my window and print them 1/1 on something that works over absorption panels. I’ll have a bigger room
Edit, have to have more than one for each season

A great integrated amplifier. If I wasn’t so happy with my ModWright - this would be it for me. However, that would provoke a moderately serious marital crisis.

Ian_Holland · January 21, 2023, 7:49pm

Spent about 3.5hrs on it today, but then again, it’s part of the enjoyment.

Hi Roasty

Nice setup. I’m about to test an M23
How are you getting on with it and what are your thoughts on how it impacts your overall sound? Any niggles?

Cheers Scott

Roasty · January 23, 2023, 12:50pm

it’s a really nice unit. does the job without issues. runs warm but never hot. I like that it has a gain adjustment switch at the back. have always liked purifi amps and this one measures really well, if that matters. I like putting a tube pre in front of it (even though that probably measures poorly) as I like what the tube pre adds to the sound.

I’ve had several power amps before this, including the Benchmark AHB2. I think the nad m23 is a really good choice for the money. I do have an apollon purifi amp 1et7040sa on order, as am curious what the new purifi board brings to the table.

A good analog reproduction of a great digital recording… Good for tube lovers

Scott_Fletcher · January 23, 2023, 10:24pm

Thanks for the comments good to hear!
I’m interested in whether it will better suit the rest of my setup than my Rega Aethos, which will temporarily move to preamp duties while I check out the M23 power amp
Of course ideally I would have a purpose built preamp in place instead
