A dealer friend sold both Verity and Nagra. I wasn't very impressed with either, except when I heard them together. This is back a little while so I'm not sure if it was the Fidelio or the Parsifal that I liked paired with the VPA.
Verity Audio: To Nagra or not to Nagra?
OK, so I am experimenting with my Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations... and now I am considering a new power amp. I currently have a Jadis Defy 7 mkIV but want something better... everywhere I look I see Nagra VPAs or PMAs.... it's no secret Verity and Nagra are a promoted match.... but is this "match" a commercial one or are they truly such a good pairing? I have heard that some believe that they are, in fact, not such a great match.??
I have heard the VPA with the Ovations and it sounded great to me but unfortunately not in my setup so I could not tell what it was, in fact, that I was hearing. Any comments? I am interested to hear from the anti-Nagra/Verity believers and why they are as such...
Are the VPAs the ideal match and worth the 16.000 EUR or is there something else I should seriously consider for that kind of money?
So, to Nagra or not to Nagra?
