APL NWO2.5 ?


Though I'm not able to hear this player, I'm about to take the plunge......
Is it as good as some audiophiles claim ?

Audiosu, the output stage inside the Denon is a version of my own preamp output stage. :-) This one is Single Ended.

The NWO-2.5 tube stage is differential (balanced) which, among other benefits, results in significantly increased output power and much lower output impedance, so it is considerably better than the one in the APL 3910. :-)

When it comes to NWO-2.5 and a preamp is like having two of your favorite SOTA preamps hooked up in series. Of course, one preamp would sound better than two in series making one of them redundant. :-)

Audiosu,

I owned MIT Oracle v1.1 cables. I would encourage you to try Alex's silver minimalist cables as they are excellent. Just start with one, e.g. the CD player to pre-amp interconnect.

Happy Listening,

Forgive my brain-lock here. I have my APL 3910 going into a preamp, also. If one were to connect the 3910 directly, how would one still use his analog? Maybe I need to contact the Rockport gentleman, since he has the APL NWO 2.5, and likes the direct connection, I believe. I do know that he will find a way to still use his Rockport.
