I have been a strong advocate of the Avondale TPR4 Regulator board, originally reviewed some time back by YNWOAN of this Parish.
His review led me to try the board in an Olive Hicap and the difference was immediately quite obvious, this has been written about on other threads. I then purchased a CB SNAPS directly from Les earlier this year, serviced by him and again fitted with the wonderful TPR4 reg and what a peach it was!
When I heard Les was launching a new TPX1.5 PSU featuring the TPR4 reg it was on my list, particularly at the crazy low price of £345.
Well mine arrived a few days ago and currently sits between a little vintage set up, a CB NAC 62 and NAP110, great fun duo on their own but hooking up the TPX1.5 to the pre amp was a revelation, a no brainer if you will.
What it does is take a lot of noise out of the equation, this give a much clearer crisper presentation, cleaner, tighter; all those things.
What it does not do is change the flavour, the sonic signature remains Naim, it just allows the system to work better.
Highly recommended then and a bargain to boot.
Regards,
Mark
