Goodbye Nagra 300p

[essrand]

Ironically, on the day I publish my blog article about my 2019 hunt for a best 300b amplifier, is the day I have to say goodbye to the culmination of my hunt, the Nagra 300p.
It's been a privilege to own this uber-amp, and may the new owner have many good years with it.

I have wrote in detail about this amp here: https://audiofool.substack.com/p/conclusion-choosing-the-perfect-300b
If you ever get a chance, do listen to this rolex of audio amplifiers (its available for audition at the Audio Lounge, Mumbai).

Hi,
I enjoyed reading your blogs recording your journey and audio quest for great sound. Would you be sharing thoughts on why you are moving on from this amp that you put so much time and effort to identify and buy?

Yes, that will be a topic of another blog. A very critical part of my journey for sure.

Looking forward to it

Sorry it took a long long time to get to this: but here's the post on why I moved on from Nagra (part 1 of 2 post series)

I sold my Nagra ultimate 300b amplifier. Why?! - PART 1

Sold, sold, sold.....

Thanks for sharing this account of a difficult experience, choice you made.
Just to clarify: You preferred the sound of the Shindo chain over the Nagra with the stock tubes?

I don't have a full Shindo chain yet, still hunting for a Shindo amplifier. But approximately yes, I preferred Shindo pre + Nagra amp more than Nagra Pre + Nagra Amp. I am guessing (hoping) that a Shindo amp will give me more of the goodness I am looking for.
