You forgot the phono stage... Wink

Yes, basically that.
Oh, em, gee! Shocked  Do you mean that Graham? Put me down for one, please! 

We can take the innards as read, but the casework design is going to be critical for this kind of product IMO. It'll need a remote of some sort too, I think. New thread needed? Wink

I haven't seen the NAD in person but I'm not too keen on the upright design; seems a tad too unstable for a "desktop" amp. I could just see the cat knocking it over. Or worse, my wife. Unless it's stable of course.

If remote control circuits affect the sound quality, what about bluetooth control? Or an optional extra? I don't need a remote but if it doesn't affect the sound, I don't mind.

Throw the kitchen sink at it and include wifi, ethernet and a streamer with remote control phone App. (But maybe this is a bridge too far  . . Ermm )

Definitely a new thread needed. I look forward to following it as well as the preamp and new phonostage threads, which seem a bit quiet of late.

Remore control on volume only - that's as fas as I'll go, plus I've a box full of <ALPS> motorised pots to use up...

(emphasizing the name ALPS here because ALPS sell products that ALPS pots are in because ALPS pots are to die for LOL)

Bluetooth reception dictates the case style. As the data sheet says: the device must be mounted "top-right" - that suggests I have to make an upright case of sorts.

As for WiFi and Ethernet, don't ask: I've seen the circuit schematics and the chips don't lend themselves to our 60 watt "steam" soldering irons and ham fists Wink

If anybody wants to start a new topic they're welcome to and I'll join in, but I've got enough to do right now.

New phono stage is actually being built etc.

As for the preamp, I have a funny feeling we'll sell fewer than we have the Majestic. The AIO (all in one) of this discussion would probably do most of what the preamp would do anyway. We could always do a version without power amps?
