    New P482 Stereo Power Amplifier

    IIRC we have had one in several years of use, so as I said before, a vanishingly low failure rates.

    Hi @Paul7777x No one has actually ordered a black pair yet. I think it would be pretty imposing. The candy red has been really popular followed by Tasmanian oak

    New P482 Stereo Power Amplifier

    Good question. Our PSUs do indeed have transient suppression MOVs and very high voltage mosfets, so are protected. We know this must be adequate as the failure rates are so vanishingly low. Of course it does depend on the scale of the mains transient and protection cannot never be 100%...

    Pre 1 preamp vs Topping Pre90

    Good question. Simple answer is that you dont know for sure unless you have test data. However, this is the same for any component, including analogue volume controls. I have to say that I have never come across a defective digital volume control. I have seen some pretty mediocre pre amps.

    Pre 1 preamp vs Topping Pre90

    Hi @Ash I've looked at the Gustard, its a good performer and I wouldn't hesitate to use its own own volume control.

    Pre 1 preamp vs Topping Pre90

    Hi @Ash There is a bit of a misunderstanding generally about how digital volume controls work. I cant comment specifically on the Gustard as I dont know how its implemented, but here is a general comment. The calculations for a digital volume control should be performed at higher bit depth...
