Nytech Audio

Just in today for a service is probably the ultimate Nexus set up - an SP1 preamp, an X-PAK 2 power supply, two System 140 mono power amps and two System 240 stereo power amps. The loudspeaker in shot is a newly refurbished Rogers Studio 1 and is of a similar age to the amplifiers.

The power amps alone weigh in at 8kg each...I will be getting a "work out" later when I have to move them into the workshop!

The Obelisk 3 lives! The hole in the board has undergone a PCB graft, has been repopulated and is now in place exactly where it should be. Very lucky with this one...if that hole was a few millimetres bigger the amp would have had to have been scrapped.

Further on from yesterday's post of the Ion Obelisk 3 burn out. Here's what was under all the burnt out wires! Ouch! That's going to need a patch.

Here's why we do a fuse modification with a service for the Ion Obelisk range! Those blackened wires were originally brightly coloured. I wish I could do this post in "Smell-Vision" to give you an idea of how bad this burn out has been - but it's not all bad news, we'll soon have it working again!

We have just launched the first ever Phono Upgrade for Vinyl lovers who would like to improve the sound of their classic Nytech Amplifier.

The XDS Phono Board is an upgrade to the original XD board fitted to classic Nytech CTA252XD/CTP102 and early (MK1) CA252 and CP112 amplifiers. The new board works with both MM and MC cartridges and features the same MC “current amplifier” as used in our CDP132 phono stage. The MM section has also been improved resulting in a considerably lower noise floor than possible with the original boards.

If you are handy with a soldering iron it's easy to fit yourself, or you can have it fitted as part of a service with just the cost of the board added (no extra labour charges).

Just off test and ready to go back to the customer is this Ion Nexus SAM40 with an XPAK-2 power supply. We've added an SP1 Preamp just to show you what the complete entry level Nexus system looks like.

Scroll about three quarters of the way down and you'll find the Nytech / Cadnam Audio room mentioned in the HiFi Pig North West Audio Show report. We were described as "nice smooth sound, easy going, and detailed".

A big THANK YOU to all the people who came to visit us at the North West Audio Show last weekend. The feedback on our new products for vinyl lovers - the CDP132, MCP1 and MCA1 was humbling and spectacularly positive, particularly for the musical enjoyment. We also had a lot of very positive and useful feedback on some new products we took along which hopefully will be appearing before the end of this year.

Likewise a massive thank you to Gareth, David and Christine from Cadnam Audio who bent over backwards to make sure that our amplifiers and their speakers are a perfect match for those who love their music.

Finally, thank you to Kris and the rest of the organisers of the North West Show and all the staff at DeVere Cranage Hall who worked so hard to make the show a big success for us.

Hopefully we will see you all again next year!

Day 2 - final day of the show....come and listen to our new kit with the excellent Cadnam speakers!

For classic kit fans we've brought along some of our museum pieces for you to reminisce over! If you have a piece of classic equipment that you are interested in having serviced just speak to a member of our team.

We're in Room 113 with Cadnam Audio at the North West Audio Show - come and have a listen!
