Thanks for the review and what do you think about the Yamaha A-S1200 and Wharfedale LINTON Heritage pairing? Thank you Charles

Do you know how annoying background music is on RUclips videos? . . . . . very annoying!

FEW THINGS MISSED - The phono stage is not included, it's optional extra. As is a DAC. You can make the i50 gain dynamics for techno music by changing the tubes from 6550 to KT88. There is no sub out to add subwoofer. (Sorry not trying to being rude, I loved your video! But this is stuff that has to be mentioned it you're looking at $5000 USD amp) Again, thanks for the vid!

Can the C399 be turned on/off remotely from iOS app? Instead of the included remote control?

I'm looking at a demo M10 v1 for less than $1000 US...is that still a good buy or 2024? Anything else around the 1k price point you'd recommend?

Nice video. Thank you. The discussion of the change in the gain algorithm sounds interesting. It could lead one to believe that if you already had a M10 v1, then it should be possible to update the firmware to include that algorithm. Do you know if NAD offers that as an option? If so, do you know if there is a cost to that? I've tried googling it (Google is your friend 😁) and have not found any information related to that. Thanks again.

Love this combo!

So... it was hard to imaging spending $1,000 on these (here in Ottawa)... but I found a used pair in near-perfect condition that set me back $400. And I have to say, they are worth every single dollar.

Hifyed Very good content, Would you recommend for a single turntable setup if it's your first one?

Love mine.

What happened to these guys?

Thank you, Hifyed, for this great video review!...QUESTION: In addition to the EVO 150, will this amplifier drive KEF R11's tower speakers?

The less the controls the pure the circuit

you cant use BT 5.1 for HiFi... its only around 500kbp/s.... I have them. they sounding ok, noise canceling is 5 out of 10, they are very comfortable. I am biased since I love audio and I tried have have high end headphones. the DAC mode is not as different, its better but not great. I'd get the sony MX5s. half price better in almost every aspect.

Nice review! Want to pair them with Atoll in100. how will be the combo? I like good bass punch and sparkling treble (but not fatigue).

Why didn't you do a genre comparison with a human voice as the focus, like an acoustic, non-pitch corrected female vocal? That would help tell which was the most natural sounding. That's a big omission in my opinion. And the watt output may be affecting how they drive the speakers, even though the volumes were similar. Also, you didn't say what the specs of your source music files and/or streams were.

Which unit do you think would be best to pair with Monitor Audio Gold 100 speakers?

Oberon 5 vs the polk R500? Which is more forgiving of placement and poor recordings especially for modern music, alternative, indie rock, pop and metal? Which has better midrange? It will be paired with audiolab 6000a and rose technics rt5000 dac. Would greatly appreciate your input. Regards

I paired the C399 with the Mission 770's. All I can say is Lawd Honey...it drives those bad daddies like it stole 'em!

Supernait 1 was my first amp, and I still feel a pang of regret for selling that beautiful piece. It brought so much joy and warmth to my listening experience. I moved on to an Accuphase, but it left me disappointed. Now, I've switched to an all-in-one solution with the NAD M10. It's convenient, but I know deep down that if the NAD ever fails, I'll go back to the Supernait. That amp was unparalleled, giving me countless hours of relaxation and joy, even at low volumes. The rhythm and style of the classic Naim are simply unbeatable, and you can find them second-hand in superb condition. Plus, it pairs perfectly with my British Spendor D7.2. I don't understand the fascination with tube amps. Every time I had the chance to listen to them, I felt they offered less control, more distortion, and were overpriced. I also don't get where the idea comes from that they're difficult to drive speakers with. In my 30m² room, even with several speakers, I barely hit the 12 o'clock mark on the volume regulator. The Supernait had everything I needed and more, and it remains unmatched in my heart.

i still bought the dali spektor 2 and a NAD 304........ I wondering how this will fit together??

U both sounds so sympathic <3................................. this counts for you and the speakers :)

Bang and Olufsen would made it weigh 45 kilos !!!!!

Why would the be amazing in one year but not another. Great speakers have been around since the 30s.

Sad news. Apparently these two passed away. They were found in a running vehicle within a closed garage, pants around their ankles & hands on each other's groin. Condolences. 😭

Very great Video, Thanks. Is there also comparison between NAD M10V2 and NAD M33 ?

Why are you listening to them with the cone covers on. These should be removed before you listen to these, amatuers

I've found these need burn in well over the recommended 100 hours. I was really missing the textures before proper burn-in. Also I found that there is a 2 stage bunr in with these - the first thing to improve is openness and bass response in the first couple of weeks - then after some extended use the textures to voices and strings come in nicely and they open up even more with a bigger soundstage. I was honestly considering selling them at first but wow - given some time they really shine!

Audiophile reviewr full of crap i try all those speakers and all sound great for a normal human listen.

It would be great if you shared the names of your test tracks in the video description. I've been searching for a while and I can't find a cellist by the name I *think* I'm hearing you say. And the album art you showed for Sadeo Watanabe isn't the album that the track is on (Autumn Blow). All of these details would help a lot! Thanks.

Hola, Excuse my ignorance, but what is dirac? saludos de Chile

Ok, let's make our dream Mojo 3 because there's no way I'm buying a device with Micro USB in 2024. a) 2x USB-C ports b) 3.5 and 4.4 balanced. I have zero use for two 3.5 outs and I can't imagine many people are ever using this "feature." c) Much faster startup. 20 seconds? My Schiit tube amp takes less time to kick on. d) much improved heat dissipation... c'mon, this is still an issue?

Have you had the chance to test its transient response and spectral decay? There's not too many sealed consumer speakers out there.

"Please note: As mentioned in the video the grills are to be kept on" - Yea?..where is write this?? I didn't saw on their site nothing related to this.I mean on Oberon 5 page. Can you give us a link or something official, from them, about Oberon 5 (not other speakers) and their grills?

The grill instaled is usefull

The sound seems to keep cutting out on the post when you’re speaking ?

Love the Quad designs and after owning Cyrus, Rega, Creek integrated amps with now, Quad 22ls speakers I am seriously thinking of going very old school just because I’m intrigued by how they sound and love the way they look against the modern “ cool” aesthetics of amps now. The much older Quads look as if they are serious about what they’re doing instead of trying to fit in with the furniture , which isn’t a criticism as I love many modern designs and the minimalist ‘ stand back ‘ designer aesthetics . I’ve owned the smaller quad 11ls as well and loved the sound and high material quality . The floor stander 22ls although detailed a seem to be rather boo like in the bass on actions wherever I move them and perhaps would respond better to partnering with Quad amps ? Although I have allied with em with a trichord Dino phono stage into a Cyrus 8 amp now and they work well together and the Dino is so beautifully clean and precise with a great placeable soundstage , I’d love to know how they sound with the Quad 44 or 33 . A good partnership or out of step with current engineering ? ( something I am a total novice about , I admit ) .

I got my first NAD. I have the NAD c298 (similar to NAD M23) to upgrade from my already great Parasound 2125v2. i’ve had other great class d: Parasound zonemaster 2 (has Class A/B input stage). streaming source = Apple Music lossless my video: ruclips.net/video/_fy2TU1bzus/видео.html

As much as I love my Parasound 2125v2 for my GoldenEar BRX, I've upgraded to the NAD C298 (similar to NAD M23). My Parasound will be moved to powering the surround L/R speakers in a mixed use music/movies 7.4.4 setup. My requirements (<50 lbs and <16 in deep, trigger input/output, gain adjustment, RCA loopout for subwoofer). It's 2024, and I'm shocked at how many amps don't have at least a trigger input, much less a gain adjustment. My video ruclips.net/video/ncwCopnHJqA/видео.html Apple Music

Nice review. It would be nice to have sound demo in a future video.

What about the Yamaha as301 as a match for these? Thanks

Hello, Would you say it gives Hegel H390 & Naim SN3 a run for their money or no comparison?

How does it compare to Cambridge Audio’s CXA61 or 81 ?

Many thanks for this review guys! I most likely own the same (older) speakers powered by an 17 year NAD C320. Have you had a chance to test the Naim Atom Uniti? At almost double the price, I am wondering how better it would sound and if it makes any sense for my PMC speakers which are now 17 years old. Any thoughts?

Honestly, it was hard to watch this comparison. The guy on the left is clearly biased toward the KLH's. Why not compare a Acura to a Honda? Both are excellent but one costs much less. He should have commented on that several times which he didn't. Nothing you measure gets perfect ratings on all categories.

I personally had the h160 and h190. Very good amps .

It is excelent + MDC2 , i have it with sf sonetto. 👌

Great video. I'm just starting my journey into vinyl, as I've just been gifted a Pro-ject Debut Pro 😁. However, I now need some advice on an amplifier and speakers to complement it. Can you please give me some suggestions. My budget for both, unfortunately, is only £700 UK.

Great comparison video, Hifyed!....Keep up the good work!

Not vintage speakers. Retro speakers.
