Stereo Times review on the remarkable Naiu Labs Ella MKIII amplifier


The review on the Naiu Labs Ella MKIII amplifier has just been posted on the Stereo Times website. If you read the details in my review you will then understand why the Ella MKIII amplifier turned out to be one of the most extraordinary experiences I have had as a music lover/reviewer in the last forty years. The greatest compliment I can give this amplifier is I bought it after the reviewing process.

Hey grannyring,

Thanks for your support.

Regarding pbecker128 inquiry about a preamp to team up with his Pass Labs amplifier. Aric, of AricAudio, just built me a custom line-stage that is truly balanced from input to output, uses a single 5751, along with a single 12AU7 buffer tube and is tube regulated which sounds extraordinary in my system. It is not a production model, but if you give Aric a call he will give you all the details about this model. A friend that came over to hear the AricAudio Custom was so impressed he ordered one for himelf.

teajay,

I read most of your reviews. No complaints here.

There have been discussions about reviewer and dealer input here for years.

Last I remember dealers and reviewers had to identify as such and you always do so I don't see the "problem" that some are complaining about.

Thank you Teajay. I've heard many good things about Aric and now this preamp sounds very special. Please keep those reviews coming!

@teajay - I have an Audionet Humboldt which is neutral class A/B, and am looking for a second amp with different but also excellent sonic signature.  I looked at GanFet offerings and sliding SS Class A.

Have you heard Audionet? If so, how does it compare to the Naiu?
