NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!?

@juanmanuelfangioii 

Yeah, twice, lol...

I don’t consider or buy audio components from manufacturers who won’t provide measurements. I screen products by their objective performance and if this data isn’t forthcoming, they are ignored. Those that publish and meet certain requirements are auditioned. That’s my approach. Many state of the art amp manufacturers publish their performance data. I look at such transparency as excellent customer service and appreciate companies that give the complete picture to their potential customers who value such data. Not everyone cares, which is their business. I do, and that’s mine.

I know, right?! Pretty amazing.

There is another class d amp coming out later this year for the diy crowd from Hypex that measures, so they say, even better than the Purifi. At this point though, I think we are entering the point of diminishing returns. Once it's below audibility, it's more an engineering exercise to keep improving the performance.

Wait, wasn’t this just copied and pasted from the ASR website?  For those who can’t judge for themselves or trust their own ears I can see this being gospel.  And please, when Gene publishes their “objective” subjective review by all means post that too along with the Crutchfield review when that comes out.  All those who need to be told what sounds good will greatly appreciate it.  
 

Whatever float's your boat.
