Re: NVA Blog
I read somewhere on another forum that a surprising number of under 40s were present which is pleasing. Was the younger generation showing an interest in NVA?

Re: NVA Blog
We took a spare of most items...but I have no spare Volvo.
We ended up lending our spare integrated to 3 Square Audio and our spare CDP to Les at Avondale Audio. Les is sending us a couple of Noble volume pots as a thank you, and I imagine that 3SQ will be sending a case of single malt....
And the Volvo has been replaced....

Re: NVA Blog
A difference between the new Cubes and the old is the detachable grilles with what looks to be finer mesh, a definite visual plus. I am wondering what effect they have on the sound.

Re: NVA Blog
Just out of interest, will driver upgrades be available at some point for older Cubes, Cubette’s etc? I have a pair of Mk2 Cubette’s and they work superbly in a smaller room set-up that has always given bass response issues - until the Cubette’s came along….
