why did you feel a need to replace the Rotel? Just curious?

I bought the Rotel 2nd-hand few years ago and I felt I could go for a brand new amp to live with for the years to come. Hifidelitis (ebola pales before it) and the need to go with fresh technologies (Ncore) the main reasons for replacement.Rotel was les musical I may say compared to the NAD but a power monster nevertheless!

I seem to hear that quite a lot about Rotel. I've had many NAD products and find them consistent in good sound quality. However matching is VERY important with NAD products. As they can also get "hard" sounding with the wrong preamps or speakers. But properly matched - magic.
Enjoy!

Thank you Charles!
Rotel is an honest brand nevertheless.
Any suggestions for tube pre matching Ncore class-D modules?

I too am looking for a decent tube preamp for my NAD C275BEE. I had my eye on a VTA Z-preamp. Only draw back is no remote.
But I'm still looking. Let me know if you find anything.

VTA is very nice gear indeed. Regarding myself I am totaly confused with tube amps. I need something simple and all I can find is super expensive pres with loads of functionalities.

Forget ancient tubes and Class D go for the superlative Goldmund JOB 225 pre & power I am listening to the amp now sounds wonderful very fast wide bandwidth amp with amazing bass resolution despite only 225 VA transformer. take no notice of Audio Circle posters.

try it! you know you want to!
Absolutely , find a Audio Circle poster ( or anyone else) who has 50 years experience in Hi-Fi as manufacturer,retailer, lots of exposure to Live v recorded sound with BBC engineers some of them became loudspeaker manufacturers.

This is really absurd, you have topped your previous top ..... Lol
or "better" than anyone else's....Are you going to tell me what beer I should drink? What art I should hang on my walls? What music I should prefer? I should hope not. So understand that equipment preferences are also subjective and there is no one size fits all. All those people on audiocircle have every right to their opinion. Who are you to dictate what they should like? Your opinions end at your nose.

Unless they require a lot more power anyone who exchanges the Goldmund Job 225 for a Class D amp IMO this is not a good way to go.You are in to Class D I am not.
I can say , quite a few have exchanged their Job 225 for class-D amplification , for alot less money too. Unless you have 93 db/w/m speakers and or listen in a relatively small room , the power will make a difference in how you enjoy the mix ..

I am "locked into" the right of everyone to have their own opinion without having to defend it or be told it is wrong.
By the way, the biggest proponent on audiocircles of the Crown amp who ditched his Job was a high end audio dealer for decades and has, in fact, quite a lot of experience. More proof that everyone has different tastes and there is no one way. To each his own.

The JOB 225 is an exceptionally revealing amplifier and will not suit all speakers.

I agree there appears to be no one best, I have not auditioned every amplifier, just find one that suits your speakers and sounds as close as possible to live unamplified music in ones own listening environment Class D amp does not do it for me but obviously does for others.

These guys don't sell to Greece and the looks are terrible...I just bought the NAD don't forget
