I still like them more than my previous Marantz amplifiers
I did try to just feed the PA3 with the Topping D50s for a while that works great but I couldn't hear enough difference
and I like the round volume knob and still have a slight preference for the bridged amplifiers.
But listening test are hard to compare. If I could just sit still and press a button to switch, then maybe but moving
around changing cables I'll have to compare from memory and that's flawed.
One of the reviewers mentioned that they had a license for the Nakamichi name but it was just to expensive to maintain.
