Mithat just posted a new blog entry where he talks about the Advanced Nested Architecture used in our NP1 power amplifier and CA1 control amplifier.

Here is a link.

Thanks, Mary.  Even though I don't understand much of what Mithat wrote and will most likely live out my happy life with the DVA-M225's, it's still fun to read what the 'thinkers' are explaining.

Out of curiosity, how does Mithat pronounce his name?

Most people pronounce it 'Mee-tot'. If you want to take a stab at its native pronunciation, it's closer to 'Mitt-hot'.

Wow very cool write up Mithat and thank you Mary for the link. ! I had been lurking on Mithat 's website for years (Think Biro L/1) and have been fascinated and pleased to see the NP1 and CA1! I would be lying if I told you that I have not been dying to try the NP1 and DVA Digital Preamp... something tells me there is marriage made in heaven given the common DNA ( I think Mithat worked on both of these?) anyways, so glad to see Mithat posting! You have a fervent fan here in Seattle! Thank you, Tom ps, If I come visit you folks in MN, do you still serve home baked cookies like the olden days? That was my favorite audio adventure, coming to Franks to pick up my Amp and Preamp, having some cookies and tea, listening to 'my Amp and Preamp" in Frank's system, being amazed with what I heard, leaving with a "this is the best audio decision I ever made in my lifetime" ...which has been repeated with the SET 120 Control amp and Vision Q+ Phono preampli"fire"!!!!! Looking forward to building another great system around AVA! Thank you for everything you have all done over the years.

I’m just curious. Were the prototype amplifiers demoed at AXPONA designed utilizing the Advanced Nested Architecture?

Those prototypes sounded amazing. I’m looking forward to more examples coming to market. Hopefully soon.
