Well, I won’t be going rackless after all, I don’t think!
After a frustrating hour and a half hunting for a pair of speaker cables to use with the amp (can one fit modern banana terminals to these amps?), I ended up having to make up a pair from some basic old QED cable. Anyway, that was all sorted.
There’s a synergy at work here I guess, with the CA-1010 and NS-1000Ms, that produces a very organic sound that I’m really loving. I’m not keen on words like ‘organic’ in this context, but I can’t think of any better one to summarise. Bass seems more enveloping, and upper mids have a greater delicacy. It sounds more real.
Of course, it has loads of knobs and switches, 90% of which are of no value to me!
But, it also has two VU meters that mesmerise with their largely synchronised swaying against subtle backlights.
This amp is a delight.
