I know a space where you can store them for free!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirjester Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I havent used this in a while and is a bit of Perth hifi history. This is basically a clone of a Naim NAP250 amp. It is probably around 30 years old and was made by Klass the tech that used to service Vince Ross Hifi. All hand numbered with a front touch sensor and are very heavy due to the marble box which was meant to help with cooling, resonance and interference....

BagelM Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 This thread is a cracker. Most of you have better gear in storage that I have on my main system. Some of the vintage gear is very cool. I'll go back to lurking in the shadows again 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooked up the Consonance R1.3, kind of a wow moment. Noticeable improvement in sound stage/image and tones. Being critical, it didn't handle the crash of cymbols, during the early stages, as well as the CX-1, however the positives easily outweigh this point. Will give it another listen. Previously had paired the R1.3 with integrateds like Yamaha CA-2010, only sounded ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously had paired the R1.3 with integrateds like Yamaha CA-2010, only sounded ok. Using an array of power amps including 845's, M-100 S Knights, 805's and OAD the R1.3 performed beautifully portraying the full audio spectrum, cymbals here used to hang slowly decaying into the black or smashing and crashing with realism. As my power amps got better the pre was more than able to keep up until the OAD CP1 audition blew it away. R 1.3 is a top bit of gear and no slouch BUT the OAD CP1 pre will blow many highly regarded highly priced preamps into the dust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willmax Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) My lovely SP9 preamp has been sitting idle for a few months, such a reliable and functional bit of kit with classic looks to boot. I cannot convince myself to sell it even though I don't think I'll be needing to use it any more. Edited July 4, 2021 by Willmax 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
