Atlas Eos 4dd to the power block

I bought this just before Christmas and collected it shortly afterwards. It has now been checked over and serviced ready to be gifted to the younger generation.
If my Nytech CA352 (see top of thread) sounds better than this then I’m in for a treat! (Nytech morphed into Ion in the 80s before becoming an offshoot Heed).

Cool! I always thought Heed was an Aussie brand. I stand corrected.
Lovely 
Very nice! Also, look forward to reading impressions of the 352 when it arrives (my first amp was a Nytech 202).
What a lovely coincidence.
Myself and other forum member @Mike_S were only chatting about Heed audio amplifiers, only last night…
Would be interested to hear back what it sound like?

I’m a big fan of the little Ion amps. I’ve had them all and still have a 3x and X-Pak. Only the Obelisk 1 is less than stellar. Best value is probably the 2 or 3. The 3x is really good, but two boxes.

Hungarian. Two Hungarian brothers sort of took over and rebranded.

The 3 is rather good and gives the Nait2 a run for its money.
My daughter’s boyfriend should be rather happy - doesn’t know it’s coming.

I thought they sounded quite different, but agree they were on a similar level. The 3x though is something else.
Yes, different sound but equally enjoyable.
This turned up this week and it occured to me after I’d stuck it on my rack, that’s it’s the only Naim box like this as all other similar boxes have a power switch on the front.
Sounds amazing btw (replaced 250)

I’m rubbish at describing differences in sound and what I perceive/hear you may not. These can be picked up for a song (I paid £150). Take punt and have a listen.
@Richard.Dane might have a go at describing the sound for you.
I’m just as rubbish I’m afraid. I know what does it for me, and what doesn’t move me or leaves me cold.

Glad I’m not the only one unable/not willing to sound a system.
I have a go but I am never sure I have accurately conveyed how a system sounds.
The richness of the English language doesn’t always help. So many adjectives, each with subtly different meanings/interpretations. Add to that the difficulty in expressing aural stimuli verbally.
That is why I would always suppprt anyone who has a go. Certainly gets the brain cells revved up.

Recent addition in quest for 'the" speaker for Jadis I35. Definitely better sense of control of speaker vs Spendor 3/1R2s. Can’t yet come to part with the Spendor’s although they seemed to need a high grade solid state partner to display their strengths. I dealt directly with Doug Stirling on acquisition of the V3’s and he was nothing but a gentleman throughout the process.
