Elgordo: Nelson Pass didn't design the Nakamichi "Stasis" series, Nak simply payed to use technology that Nelson had patented.
Having said that, you can't judge any amp with significant levels of bias right out of the box and / or "cold". Leave it powered up for 2 or 3 days and then give it another listen.
Having said that, it's quite possible that you simply prefer the sound of your Mac. I've heard some people say that the Nak Stasis amps were "budget Threshold" amps and while others say that they are an abomination to the Threshold design. Most of the people claiming them to be a great bargain are those that own them and have never heard the real deal. I can't say either way as i've never heard any of the Nak offerings. Sean
