The Novo headphone amplifier beat the similarly priced Lehmann Rhinelander, Creek OBH-21SE and Project Headbox SEII headphone amplifiers in the April 2009 What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision Group Test..
"...performance has to be the most important factor, making this test-express a head to head between the Lehmann and the Graham Slee - and for us it has to be the Novo... " [Graham Slee Novo, What Hi Fi? Sound and Vision, April 2009]
It then scooped the What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision Best Headphone Amplifier award 2009
Not only would you expect such a great sounding headphone amplifier to cost considerably more, you'd think a discrete component headphone amp should be in the highest echelons of price! But as many more people are finding from Graham Slee, good old down to earth honesty is the name of the game.
The Novo headphone amplifier has a single chained phono (RCA) jack input allowing you to drive it from your favourite music source and then run another interconnect on to your main amplifier. It can also be fed from a preamp output or recording output.
Dynamic headphones of between 16 Ohms and 600 Ohms are driven to similar volume levels and the full rotation of the volume control can be used to make up for differences in headphone sensitivities.
With very sensitive headphones the Novo headphone amplifier volume control should be used with care to avoid hearing damage.

International Delivery Service and VAT;
Custom Cable will use Royal Mail International Signed For worldwide for all items less than 2.0kgs. Items more than 2.0kgs are sent using Parcel Force Worldwide. For countries in the EU delivery times are estimated between 3-7 working days and slightly longer for all countries outside of the EU.
Customers in certain countries are also able to choose Royal Mail International Airsure. Airsure® is generally a day faster than standard Airmail and can be tracked online. Which means the aim is:
2 working days after posting to Western Europe
4 working days after posting to Eastern Europe and postal subsidiaries (Islands and Principalities)
6 working days after posting to the rest of the world
The above standards are monitored by the independent and impartial International Post Corporation to ensure reliable and consistent delivery, which is why Airsure® is only available to selected countries.
Please note that Airsure® is an upmarket mail, not a courier service. This means we cannot provide a guaranteed or certain delivery time, nor can we offer compensation for delays or missing Track & Trace information.
Prices for International Delivery are available at checkout and are specific for the delivery destination, please see here after adding your product to your cart.
