I would doubt it, Les and I designed them from the ground up to be an exceptional upgrade to the NAP135. Installation into another Naim amp would require a custom heatsink and full re-looming of the wire. Not impossible....though I doubt it will happen in the way it has for the NCC200. The...

The boards have been completed and are on their way now, they should be here in the next few days. I'll take them along to Avondale once they arrive for our inspection.

Thanks for the interest guys, as Les has stated we have made the boards with thicker copper this time around, also ENIG plating, they are slightly larger at 92 x 165mm. I have also added extra bypass cap places of 1uF Wima and 220pf polystyrenes. My supplier is on the case and I am hoping they...

Way ahead of you Mark ;) A TPR4 based fully finished PSU is already underway and almost finished, I wish to expand on the TPR4 design much further. We've got many other exciting projects to finish first though.

Really well done there Mark, superb craftsmanship. I also made my own NS-1000M crossover upgrades and stands using meranti hardwood, they're still by far the most revealing speaker I have heard. Please could I ask who refurbished your cabinets, I'd really like to get my own done. Ben

Thank you all very much for the kinds comments, it's a huge reward to hear people speak in such glowing terms about our work. We're really pleased with this particular product and feel it's one of the finest regulators we've ever made. After audio performance the next most important part of...

It will all be coming back online, I'm working on the second version of the site as we speak, it'll be much easier for me to add/alter products as well as being viewable on lower resolution screens. Cables are the next addition with fully finished products to appear very soon instead of just...

We have tried countless series of resistors Colin, from the most basic cheap 1/4 carbons to the charcroft z foils. Our experience is that the best are indeed expensive. In the signal path, consider using Welwyn MFR, RC55Y, AMRG or bulk foils. The latter couple will give excellent results but...

In our measurements Naim set their current trips to just under 4 amps. Leave the amp on for at least 20 mins before attempting any current or voltage setup at all. We have measured their current trips set lower and higher than this, even on 'matched' boards, I suspect their setup jig for this...

The 821A boards are stunning. I have heard countless preamps through Les' speakers but the 821AR's through the simplistic 821 preamp was one of the most special auditions. I hope Les doesn't mind me saying that many of the designs we've had in the demo room were not to my liking, bloated bass...

Familiar, awful familiar.

Thankyou very much for the input guys. It's very much appreciated. I think I will have to do a revised version of the site at 1280 x 1024. My photography of the boards I've made takes a long time to edit, clean up etc. After investing a massive amount of time in the design of the modules...

Good evening All, This is a quick post to introduce the new Avondale site - http://avondaleaudio.com/ Myself and Les have been working hard this year to bring the audio community some fresh and exciting products. As you will see on the website, for now, we are offering servicing and...

The website is indeed a little confusing at the moment as to where products sit in the lineup, exactly what they can be used for and which is the optimum for which purpose. There is to be a lot more information for the products on the way, including connection numbers and types, output...

Just to clarify, the TPR2 will be available as a complete module, and the MSX being the fully built supply. Not as a seperate module for DIY. kind regards Ben
