Just what all us NCC owners wanted to hear
Ive listened to the 220 and the NCC300. The 300 is a step up. The new SE is supposed to be a step up from the 300. It must be good cos Im very impressed with the 300 that I ownThey do, if the SE is better than the 220 I am listening to currently then it must be a fine thing indeed. Very happy with the 200 as is.
Interesting. I just returned my Phoenix boards to WH and I've been running with the NCC220's for over a year now.Is my ncc220 and WH phoenix redundant now lol
Not even been fitted and out of date lol
For me they weren’t better than what I already have here.Did you not take to the WH boards then or what made you return them?
Laverda's monoblocks (posted upthread) have a transformer, a rectifier/smoother board and a se200. Nothing else.Does the Se200 exhibit the start up thump as exhibited in the NAP and NCC200/220 designs. Do you need speaker connection delay with these boards?

I dont think that is the case. The thump in the RCA/NAP design is the circuit stabilising on power up. I doubt if a smaller transformer will make much difference to this.the thump is less with smaller transformers in mono blocks rather than a larger transformer in a stereo amp is it not?
Afraid not. The Phoenix boards have the thump as well. As a.palfreyman sais best way to fix is to employ a current mirror on the LTPIn my experience the NCCs and NAPs can thump the same on startup. It's not helped by the current source for the LTP being fed via the input signal ground. I believe Witch Hat fixed that on the phoenix boards.
