| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? @soix I don’t use one or the other to the complete exclusion of the other. Like I said, I have fundamental requirements that must be met before I can even consider what an amp sounds like- why would I listen to a 2 watt SET when I need 500 wa... | |
| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? @curtdr I'd bet the NAD is far from junk... maybe it ain't to one's taste, but it ain't junk. Of course it isn't. Like I said, consider the source. | |
| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? @facten I haven't heard the NAD M23 but I have owned and heard other Putzey designed amps, UCD, Ncore, and Purifi over the years. I have found that Ncore and Purifi are very similar with more refinement in the higher frequencies with Purif... | |
| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? @soix As much as audio is a science it’s also an art, and the art is how the equipment ultimately matches with our tastes and unique hearing abilities that IMO cannot all be measured but must be experienced. I agree with that to a point... | |
| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? @jerryg123 Gee, if you don't like Putzey amps, why the Rogue? | |
| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? @mapman It’s valid to listen to something and say you didn’t like what you heard but that alone does not make it “junk”. One needs to consider the source, as it were, and discount accordingly. | |
| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? @thyname I am between amps at the moment, shopping for 6 channels for an active 3 way system. I have owned a lot of amps over the years. | |
| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? @thyname How does posting a video link mean he's my idol? No, I have heard it but do not own it. | |
| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? probably safe to say that NAD has moved on too in the last 20 years. It would sure seem so based on the review linked above. | |
| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? @jerryg123 I said your amp uses the ncore. You said no, it’s new and improved. The text you added says it uses the ncore. Sorry, I don’t follow. By the way, the UCD was also designed by the same person who designed the ncore and purifi. ... | |
| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? @soix We all screen/filter our purchases, be it by cost, class, power, etc. because we can’t listen to every product on the market. Objective performance is just one possible filter, though it also is a logical choice because measurements ... | |
| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? @jerryg123 I said the Rogue uses an earlier Bruno Putzey’s amp, the ncore. Did you miss this? Some Q&A With Designer / Owner Mark O’Brien What Hypex module are you using in the Pharaoh II? Are the toroidal transformers different? We use t... | |
| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? @djones51 I know, right?! Pretty amazing. There is another class d amp coming out later this year for the diy crowd from Hypex that measures, so they say, even better than the Purifi. At this point though, I think we are entering the point of d... | |
| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? @juanmanuelfangioii Yeah, twice, lol... I don’t consider or buy audio components from manufacturers who won’t provide measurements. I screen products by their objective performance and if this data isn’t forthcoming, they are ignored. Those tha... | |
| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? Thanks for your opinion. Odd that you like the Rogue amp but the NAD is junk since they both have at their heart an amp designed by the same person. The Rogue is an earlier, older version and the NAD an improved design. |
