On an extended break for now. Fatherhood and a new job leaves me with no time for HiFi. To do the reviews properly you need to dedicate time to a lot of listening and each video takes anywhere from 6-10hrs to film, edit and post. It’s a shame, but hoping to come back to the reviewer fold at some point in the future! Thanks for watching though, it’s very much appreciated 😊🎵🔊

Haven’t heard those, sorry. These neats are absolutely fab though, I highly recommend them.

Thanks for the message and thumbs up! Unfortunately personal circumstances have meant the channel is paused at the moment - but hopefully back when things calm down! My advice for the Nilai is that nothing touches it at the price (assuming you need that much power). Purifi is better if you want to go the home theatre route simply because the bass has more punch. The M23 is the refined version of purifi and I’d take that over the base Nilai, but only if they were the same price! The Nilai is more natural sounding to my ears, dead quiet and undoubtedly the future of class D. I would use a nice preamplifier to tweak the sound to taste. I’ve tried it with a few, and do like a chunkier meatier tube pre like a Prima Luna, audio note - however - it also sounds fabulous with a passive pre such as my Kosmo, then it’s utterly pure and clean. A great bit of kit and I highly recommend it.

The preamps for this review (from memory) using my Luxman 595 pre-outs, Kosmo passive, Schiit freya+, various dacs and streamers direct into it, including bluesound etc. I really liked the two extreme ends of the scale - either passive for purity, or tube for meat on the bones and lushness. Your speakers and taste will dictate which way to go. Hope that helps!

@@SmallRoomAudio thank you ver much for thaking the time to getting back to me. I’ve recently acquired a pair of Harbeth 30.2 XD and am now on the hunt for an amplifier and class D comes to mind but the prejudice concerning it sound signature is a concern. Thank you for sharing your passion with us. Cheers

@@SmallRoomAudio again, thank you for sharing this. I’m in fact seeking a solution for audio only. If going down the power amplification lane I will start by using it with a passive pre or direct into Eversolo A6 Master Edition. In the future I think tubes pre will be my way to go as I lean towards a more “romantic” sound instead of the analytical path, hence my questions on the class D sound signature. Enjoy your time off. Thank you. Cheers

@@SmallRoomAudio Very, very good to know. Thank you for this detailed response! Only have my little Spendor 4/5’s but they seem to respond better and with more tonal balance with greater power/headroom. Using an SPL Elector pre. The curiosity may kill this cat 🐱But best wishes and hope to have you back soon 🙏🏼👍🏼

Here’s a thought then…Go to a HiFi shop and audition them…

@@SmallRoomAudio ... or find an other KZbin Chanel.

Never heard of a lineair power supply in my life
