PHONO PREAMPLIFIER
2024
August 2024 - Main System 14 Upgrade.
"As one might expect, the twice as costly Nash truly delivers with a richer, fuller, more robust, more organic and more realistic delivery.
But just like any piece of High-End gear, it can only work with what it is given and the Nash deserves Premium Source components.
It will probably come as no surprise that I wholeheartedly recommend both Phono Stages. Not only that but I also decided to keep them both as ...
My personal favorites and to serve as "References" in their respective price categories".
Dedicated Preamplifier/Equalizer for Turntable Phono Cartridges
French Review Translation
"There is much to like about Nash"

"A real surprise this one, with a giant-killing sonic performance that was completely unexpected given its compact form-factor and relatively modest price. At its heart is passive resistor network RIAA correction that somehow manages to deliver an astonishing level of dynamic expression and detail, topped off with a whopping 95dB of available moving coil cartridge gain (65dB for moving magnet). The Nash as reviewed is powered by a wall-wart, but a larger stand-alone power supply can be added to lift performance even higher". KF
Kevin Fiske takes Rock-Star Nash for a 'SPIN'
"I hope readers will forgive my nod of approval towards Manunta. His Nash Phono Stage is a cracker of a product".
"And here all the conjectures, ideas and reasoning, must necessarily give way to what the ears hear and the brain decodes.
And this decoding tells me that Nash is a tool that not only takes away the ’illogical desire for Analog’ but feeds it continuously and continuously satisfies it".

Nash MC/MM Phono Preamplifier
You control the Nash by the front panel encoder, using the Remote control or by the dedicated app via Bluetooth. Operation data are displayed on a high readability OLED display. A menu allows for setting parameters like - anti-rumble filter, MM input stage gain etc.
Two auxiliary line-level inputs make the Nash a hub or switching box for Analog sources. An interesting add-on ... when the Nash is used together with the Young MkIII - to fully exploit the latter’s only Analog input. A Young MkIII-Nash-based system enables provision for a total of four Analog Sources - two Phono and two line-level.
The Nash noise and sound performance levels can be further increased - by replacing the stock wall PSU with the reference Van Der Graaf MkII Low Noise Power Supply.

Our own Dr. Richard Varey provides a down-under Nash opinion - writing for Italian magazine TNT Audio :
Joplin MkIII 384kHz/32 Bit ADC/Phono :
The Joplin MKIII ia an excellent Phono Stage ... and more.
The perfect Analog port for a Digital Audio System with I2S output.
