Summary:
The model tested is in fact the Nanda North Face preamplifier, associated with two monoblock amplifiers Mea from Cairn. This product is absolutely superb in design and generates a fantastic sound. The music is very clear, transparent, aerian, highly resolved and the 3D stereophonic image is unbelievable at any selected volume. Choice of perfect cables and high-end loudspeakers is of course necessary. The association with the last CD player of the company is really adequate.

Strengths:
Sound resolution, pure neutrality, punchy bass, amazing stereophonic image, excellent quality/price ratio, convenient for all types of music, but of course acoustic and classical music are preferred

Weaknesses:
Not found
