Nirvana Electronic Works NEW A-60 Amplifier.WOOW

I need to tell you about this amp. I will be bragging more than anything else about how good it is. The company is long out of business. This is partially why this amp is an absolute steal for the $. If you can get one for under $500.00, which is a common asking price, beg, borrow or steal and get buy as fast as you can. Alot, make that, most people have no clue what this amp is and don't care to find out. Their loss your gain!! For those of you who don't know, here's a little background. Nelson Pass designed it. Mysteriously enough, it is shaped like a Threshold T-50. It is quite hefty like the Threshold beasts as well. It betters the Threshold amps by providing gold plated metal binding posts!! I have owned this amp for one day and am astounded at how good it is. I bought it from a guy in Victoria, Canada. I am in Massachusetts. It took 3 weeks for me to receive it by the postal system. That is how far Victoria, Canada is from me(approx. 3,000 miles). Anyway, it was well worth the wait. The amp is an NOS unit. Brand new, thank you. According to the 2 page owners manual, the amp was broken in at the factory. They suggest it will improve over the first 250 hours of use. Boy, if it does, I am going to be in audio heaven!! I listened to it yesterday for about 4 hours. Right off the bat, it was killer. Everything was so much more alive with this amp. Mind you. The factory states that it is a high bias class A amp with 60 wpc into 8 ohms and 120 into 4 ohms. My system is as follows. I just bought a Philly Audio 7A tube preamp. I have an ADS CD4 cd player. My analog rig is a fully blown Linn LP12 and Koetsu Red moving coil feeding a Benz Micro Lukashek PP1 phono preamp. The speakers I use are Green Mountain Audio Europas. I use Signal Cable power cords, speaker cable and Audio Magic Excaliber 2 interconencts. The speakers are fairly new and not broken in as of yet. They only have 50-60 hours on them. The preamp is also new. It has the same 4 hours of use as the amp. Regardless of how new, power up and first listen proved to be magical!! I couldn't believe the system synergy. It was breathtaking! That was just with digital. I switched to analog. Holy crap!!!!!! I am a rock and roll freak. I put on Van Halen's first album. Ice Cream Man is my favorite tune on that lp. Boy oh boy when Roth got going it was better than sex. Don't tell my wie. The A-60 can f***in' rock and roll unlike any amp I have owned in the past except maybe the Threshold T-100. It is fast, articulate, sweet and has tons, I mean tons of control in the bass and 10 times more power than I thought. I honestly thought by the time I turned the album over and and was half way thru "Running with the Devil", that the Europas were going to PUKE. The power that I was subjecting the tweeters to was frightening!!!! I must say that the power is extremely clean. The amp showed no sign of giving up. My ears would have given up first. That is when I had to back off the volume. Next, came the band Toto. I have a demo copy of 4 songs from the Toto 1V album. Rosanna, Africa, I Won't Hold You Back and Waiting for Your Love, in that order 2 songs per side. The first 3 songs were unbelievable. The 4th tune started and I almost fell over. This song, I don't know if it was a better recording than the first 3 songs or what but it was the most perfect sounding recording I have heard. The bass slam, who says a Linn doesn't have bass, there was so much slam my jaw was on the floor!! Anyway, that's my 2 cents. Respond with any questions or comments.

Thanks for reading.
