Added Nikola linear power supply feedback from Paul Candy from 6moons

 in Feedback

Here’s another feedback today from Paul Candy who reviewed Nimitra in 6moons. He ordered Nikola linear power supply after finishing the review.

Nikola power supply is terrific. I knew I’d hear an improvement with a more robust power supply but this is quite impressive. Music sounds much more robust and propulsive, soundstage is considerably more open, more revealing of musical textures, more nuance and inner detail, the list goes on. Thanks again.

I’m glad to hear Paul Candy’s feedback about Nikola linear power supply not as 6moons’ reviewer but a customer. 🙂

Nimitra Custom Unit with JCAT USB Card Femto running with Chord Dave

 

Here’s a new feedback today from early Fidelizer Nimitra+Nikola customer in Thailand. He ordered Nimitra with a custom Nikola linear power supply and later upgraded Nimitra with a custom unit having JCAT USB Card Femto installed too.

Beautiful couple in both sound and body. Sound improve in all three range. For update, the improvement of Nimitra upgrade version from Nimitra original version now is more than 50%!

This is probably the best sounding system with Chord Dave DAC and highend custom version of Nimitra unit. 🙂

Nikola Linear Power Supply receives AudioStream’s Greatest Bits Award

 in Review

Today AudioStream has published a review for Nikola Linear Power Supply for a few days now. I’m very proud to inform you guys how Nikola performs  along with other linear power supplies and products.

Linear power supply business is all about power house unit to power all kinds of devices for a long while. I aimed to build Nikola linear power supply as a game changer product from ‘jack of all trades’ to ‘master of one’ design. It’s time to move on inferior design that does all for better sound.

Nikola was reviewed thoroughly with a few devices as it was designed to work with all kinds of unit supporting power supply upgrade. It’s hard to pick which one so I’ll pick on the most beneficial part for you to read below.

Since I was reviewing the SOtM sMS-200 Mini Network Player at the same time I was evaluating the Nikola, I decided to try this combination given that the 12 volt output was within spec for use with the sMS-200. After extended listening with the SOtM sMS-200 / Nikola, I felt that many of the sMS-200 owners will love this combination. The overall sound was smooth, detailed, and free of hardness. The bass and mid bass were extremely well controlled with good dynamic qualities. The soundstage was quite large with good depth and width. The overall transient speed and pitch definition were very impressive. Voices and instruments were very well focused and had a life-like presence with wonderful transparency to the sound. And yes, background silence was perceived as being excellent.

You can read full Fidelizer Nikola Linear Power Supply review about Nikola in other aspects like how it performs comparing to other products, how it works with Nimitra and its unique charm of very low noise colorization without ever displaying a digital edge.

At first I started designing Nikola as power supply for Nimitra but I later realized that I should build good power supply upgrade for product that needs it. I don’t mind if you want to use Nikola with Brooklyn/e32 DAC, SMS-200, or LPS-1 as long as I can help your music enjoyment. 🙂

Added Nimitra+Nikola feedback from Simon Bailey

Here’s another feedback today from Fidelizer Nimitra customer. He also owns a few flagship servers so his feedback will help in evaluating Nimitra+Nikola a lot.

Hi Keetakawee,

Thanks so much for all your trouble! Everything seems to be working well now. I did unplug the USB lead to the DAC, so I could compare the Aurender and the Nimitra, as you had it playing stably..

I can’t get JRemote to register, but that’s no problem now that both Kazoo and mConnect are working fine! 🙂

So, my impressions of the Nimitra, now that it is playing well is that it really is amazingly good. It can’t match the three-dimensional sound generated by the Aurender, but it’s also important to realize that most people’s systems will never know the difference..

To put that in context, the music server (Nimitra or Aurender) are playing down a ‘Curious’ USB cable into a Lampizator Golden Gate DAC, then into a Brinkmann Marconi Pre-amp, balanced signal out to PSaudio Bascombe King Signature 300 monobloc amps and into Sophera Transparent LH 1 isobaric speakers. All interconnects and speaker cables are 99.998 silver. In anything other than this system, I reckon the Nimitra would sound very close to the Aurender or Baetis – and better than Naim etc..

So you’ve done a great job – and provided fantastic service – I really appreciate it! I’ll probably set the Nimitra up for my colleague (who makes the Sophera speakers – sophera.com.au ) and see if it’s a good fit for him and his clients..

Have a good night and all the very best with your forward journey.. Please stay in touch and let me know what you’re doing..

Simon

Nimitra costs less than 10% of Aurender W20 to get very close sound quality and 30-day money back guarantee. 🙂
