Well a lot can be said for whoever can pop the back off and look at the output stage......... Are the same Transistors used, and if the circuit board is the same, guess is that most the components will be the same. Sounds like I bought a supped up NAD.

It costs a lot to get low rate, high quality Power Amp regime. Not to say that a good design could not be replicated in mass volume.
All companies need to stay in business, and NAFTA assures that every company will go to the mass produced mode, and the small companies will have a harder time staying in business.

What about the DIVA A85 amp? Is this built in the UK, and has anyone heard this amp? If I would have known about the NAD reuse, I would have consided this amp.
