Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $700.00 from Hawthorne Stereo

Summary:
My set up is a pair of Epos ES22 speakers / Naim Nap 140 / Naim CD3.5 / and the NAC72. I recently up graded from the 92 and my impression of my system then was, great sound, not much for imaging, maybe I'm under powered because I seem to lack a richness I assume I should have. NOW! I honestly can say it's like a whole new system. Center Imaging is great / richness is as if I am hearing an added octave on the low end, highs are beautiful and airy. I was listening to Antonio Carlos Jobim and was so impressed with the placement of the instruments and vocalists. Another cd that sent me into vealot mode was Bill Laswell's dub remixes of Bob Marley. the reverbs and atmospheres on the CD were really brought to life with the 72. Best upgrade I have ever made dollar for dollar, trade in your 92 and get the 72. One tip I have found with my speakers is that they like to be farther apart than what I used to for the imaging, but at that proper spread I have no complaints.

Strengths:
Sound quality

Weaknesses:
I don't think anyone needs the balance knob anymore

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
