Hello, Yes ... you can remove the cable, twist / spread the pins on the chassis a little bit and put the cable back !

Hello, As I said before my example was not good, (like my English, I get help from deepl translation) The topic was NAD C298 vs NAD M33, you took the sentence out of context. I registered today to answer the initial question of the topic and help this person, I am not a forum specialist ...

Hello, In fact my example was not good, I listened and compared the NAD C298 / NAD M33 I found the M33 was better (less rough, more musical) and I bought it. I wanted to say that I think that not all Purifi 1ET400A based implementations sound the same. But if you think otherwise, no problem...

hum ... all DACs based on ESS xxxx or AKM xxxx sound the same ? Borrow both and test at home :)

Note that a C298 does not sound at all like an M33 ;) The problem of the M33, although annoying is very easily corrected in the workshop, it's a shame to live with it.

The Nuprime are known for this breath, they sound good but I could not hear anything else... The NAD M33 is not the same, we are closer to a computer noise that buzzes. Since I came back on hybrid AB class with a tube input stage and for the moment all is well !

In fact, the M33 is so quiet and with an excellent signal-to-noise ratio that you can hear a very slight bzzzzz when listening carefully. I was using Nuprime equipment, which had some hiss in the speakers... so I was aware of this kind of problem. :rolleyes: A bit of paste in the right place...

Hi, S.M.S.L SU-10 please :) Thanks

Hello, The NAD M33 is known to suffer from slight Coil whine problems. I had one and had to go through the service department. In fact they put some white paste on some parts of the power supply and since then no more problems.
