Hello singintheblues
I dont have too many experience with different amps and Im still burning my Nord One UP NC500DM class D stereo amp, but to my ears and, in my I understand very resolving system, it betters my previous 300B class A Line Magnetic LM-508 integrated (used as a power amp) in every field (dynamics, 3D sound, black background, bass, instrument separation, tone, texture, etc), even with upgraded tubes. The LM-508IA is a very musical amp an a very rewarded one among audiophiles and it cost more than twice the Nord, weights 6 times the Nord, produces a LOT more heat and consumes more power.
The highs of the Nord with the Sparkos Op Amps are so precise and no harsh at all that music is rendered with a beauty I can not explain.
And to finish my post, the Nord has the Rev C boards an not fully burned yet. The Rev D are on their way.
I cant wait to hear it with the new boards!
