I have had multi box systems in the past, bi amp, separate dad etc but bought the Nova because I wanted a compact solution. I can’t see me ever adding an amp but I’m sure it has worthwhile benefits.
I am considering a Power Line so would be interested to hear what you think of it.
Tim’s cool. But I have “Grace” as a near perfect album in my ratings.
Of all the tweaks I tried with my Nova (inc borrowing a 250DR), a Powerline made the most (arguably - only) significant improvement.
I have box full of Russ Andrews Reference and a Van den Hul Mainstream to try but I think that a Power Line is on the cards.
I really should put my glasses on more often…especially when posting.
Agree that FIP is great. A Radio France station and been around for ages. Everything "Jazz, Reggae, Rock, Electro, Funk, classical etc. Newish, obscure, interesting stuff, often French
Fip : écouter la radio Jazz, Reggae, Rock, Electro, Soul - Actualités et radios
Really does the trick when you don’t know what to put on. Never fails to surprise and full of new discoveries. I particularly like the favourites feed into Spotify, if you set it up.
I also recently bought Tellurium Q Silver II for my system. I will receive them today, can’t wait to try them. Last month i bought the TQ black din cable and it is so good that i decided to buy the TQ speaker cables
Mine had a 96 hour burn in by the shop before being dispatched as I heard they take a long time before sounding their best.
They seem good and have lots of detail with no harshness at all. Bass is well extended too.
I have a 3 metre pair and jumpers to match.
Let me know how you get on with yours.
Grace is one of my absolute favourite albums! I always have ‘Lover, you should’ve come over’ handy when auditioning new stereo gear. Gave me goosebumps when I heard it on the NDX2!
That should be a great combination!
A power line is a no brainier for the Nova. A 250DR could be a speaker dependant no brainier as I have one driving my Shahinians (also a no brainier for me) but I understand others have found marginal improvement. I understand the wasted amp argument but I judge it on its merit and whether it justifies the additional cost vs. performance improvement…
For me it’s not about cost, I just want to keep this system as a neat one box solution.
The next upgrade after a mains cable is going to be speakers. Probably Sonos Faber again due to the WAF.
Just was told my Powerline is in. It’s got to be sent to me as they are a couple hours away. By the end of the week I should have it. Cool!
Great, let me know what you think.
I have a curious mix of thoughts about it. On one hand I think I’m nuts for spending this much on a cord (buying new/ not many used to be found in the USA) and on the other excited to hear it and even touch it…lol.
I have a Nova on order to replace my SuperUniti, does anyone know what the waiting times are like at the moment? I had heard that they were around 12 weeks
Bought my Nova about ten months ago, what a wonderful object, love listening to it everytime it’s switched on. Great choice my friend, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.
