I mean 450 cm width of the amplifier stand. The weight of the amp is 40 lbs.
The sound is very involving, very nice prat, and full of nuances and colours. Maybe a bit less authoritative vs the NC 250 , but I am even not sure. Instruments sound more real , and voices too.
Only 10 hours burn in.
The bass is mice, crisp.
It’s absolutely not the syrupy and romantic tube amp as generally described.
Got a very good deal on an npx 300 ex demo unit which was passively placed on the shelve and was never connected or used which I couldn’t resist and now eagerly waiting for the special cable to connect the npx 300 to my ndx2.
He is no longer a dealer now hence clearing the stocks. The unit is I think a year old and one strange thing I noticed the bands on the burndy cables are blue whereas all the videos or the photos I saw are all white, strange. @Richard.Dane can you please check and advise, even to all the members owning the npx 300 can you please respond.
With my Apertura Altra, 92 db into 8 ohms, it works beautifully. Globally better vs the NC 250. The bass is a very little bit less crisp, but the prat is the same, my feet are tapping. The instruments have a better decay, the timbers are nicer, the voices more human a bit too. The general impression is a bit more realistic sound. And I am only past 10 hours burn in.
The problem is to find a better place, and a stand not too large and at about 30//40 cm height.
In summer it may be also problematic. I will need a fan ventilator.
I’ve not seen a blue band, but then I’ve not really looked the one time I’ve seen an NPX300 prior to production, and then when we had some forum members visit the factory last Summer. As I’m a long way from the factory, perhaps someone here who has an NPX300 or maybe @110dB can advise on this.
Impressive power distributor. I think it will improve the sound. I see you are using Furutech Clearline power optimizer. If you are interested and like to share your experiences there is a special thread to Furutech Products (Click here). Enjoy your system.
