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

Mr Jones that is your opinion and it takes all kinds to make the world go round.

I tried the M22 a few years ago... gave it about 2 weeks burn in, and still could not stay in the room with it.  Worst sounding amp I've heard in a long time!  (and I grew up on NAD)   I wonder if the new M23 is much different?

The M23 used the latest Purifi amp modules vs the older Hypex ncore modules in the M22.

Yet both modules measure the same. hmmm. Based my experience you will be in the same boat with the 23. 

I think NAD has implementation issues, no matter the module. 

I think I would look at the Benchmark amplifier.

Triodes are more linear than jfets, as the jfet is more like a pentode.
