Hypex NC400 Sound

[bassnkeys]

I have been listening to an NC400 amp for a couple years now.
It is super revealing. Super analytical.
Flaws in the recording process jump out like no other amp.
Does anyone else share this experience?

Yes.

I've noticed a shocking amount of new school "overdrive" or "saturation" meant to sound like old fashioned tube drive but computer modeled and harsh/ugly processed into the final mix.

It is revealing, but not analytical. On same system ML532H was much more analytical and bright than the Ncore

Little bit of google can answer your question in 3-5mins...

 

[mickiboi007]

Thanks

 

[_henry_]

No worries

 

[mickiboi007]

So USD$8500 for the ML compared to a couple of hundred for the Hypex. Great comparison.

To build stereo nc400 will costs u $1500-2000

 

[mickiboi007]

But thats not US$8500.

Yes of course. ML need to pay their engineers, rental, utilities, permits, taxes...[emoji16]

 

[mickiboi007]

Im sure Hypex have those same overheads?

You’re right.

 

[mickiboi007]

When you look inside the ML I find it difficult if not impossible to justify 8500.
