So very happy with my NVX200 R2 based amplifier designed with Anthony at HPA.
I replaced my Arcam FMJ power amp and the difference is incredible – so much detail was revealed that was previously missing and immediately all those superlatives I had read about top-end systems in magazines like Stereophile made sense. Truly a veil was lifted: attack and decay are massively improved and suddenly instruments such as piano, toms and even drummers hitting the side of the snare and woodblocks are so much, much more realistic. Other highlights for me include huge detail in the fretwork of guitar players sliding from chord to chord and almost too much noise from some vocalist’s mouths – when they are not even singing! I love it!
Arguably DIY audio is not for the faint-hearted and it definitely takes a bit of time to realise, but IMHO the results are unquestionably more than worth it and I cannot overstate what an amazing help Anthony was dealing with my questions and guiding me through the design and build process.
HPA have made a phenomenal quality of sound reproduction available to those of us that previously would have been looking at $5 - $10k amplifiers with envy and I am thoroughly thankful for that!
