Reviews
The Statement Series*
The NVA Statement range makes no compromises in sound, appearance or
build quality. Encompassing source components, amplifiers and interconnects,
the Statement range is a fundamental rethink of the priorities behind hi-fi.
Enhancing your musical experience
Using specially selected rare electronic components, the Statement
range stretches the boundaries of musical experience available from a hi-fi
system. Careful design ensures the smallest possible information loss, giving
you the vividness and involvement of live music performance - or getting you
closer to the detail and nuance of the original studio mix.
Enhancing your home
NVA Statement feature a dramatic departure from the conventional box
construction used by ordinary hi-fi. You will be proud to show your friends
the Statements' beautiful deep-chromed housings, hand-built by craftsmen.
Rethinking connectors
The NVA Statement range is equipped with SMA inputs, an advanced
screw-thread connector that provides superior sound quality to conventional
phonos by providing a totally secure connection and precise impedance
matching between cable and circuitry. Of course, NVA can provide SMA-to-phono
interconnects so you can use conventional source components with Statements.
The Statement Models
T.I.S. - The Integrated Statement amplifier
TIS is the affordable way to experience NVA Statement

T.E.S. - The Emotive Statement CD player
|
TES is a fresh approach to CD player design. NVA places separate transport,
control, digital-to-analogue converters and power supplies on a single
aluminum alloy Statement chassis.
Using over-specified split power supplies for both CD transport and
digital-to-analogue converter, paired with simple circuitry featuring high
quality components, TES attains new levels of musical performance from the
digital medium.
TES comes complete with easy to use remote control.

T.S.S. - The Second Statement preamplifier
|
The matching preamplifier for NVA Statement power amplifiers, TSS
preamplifier features separate signal paths with individual volume controls,
and a full range of SMA inputs and outputs for maximum flexibility.
|
|
T.S.S. - The Second Statement stereo power amplifier
TSS is based on NVA's revolutionary two-stage amplifier circuit. Each
channel is driven by two separate power supplies for greater dynamic freedom
and musical analysis. The two ¼ inch thick circuit boards - ten times
thicker than conventional boards - each feature £90 worth of pure gold
to ensure the lowest possible signal degradation.
TSS power amplifier must be used with a high quality passive preamplifier.
For best performance, we strongly recommend TSS power amplifier be matched with
an NVA Statement preamplifier, the best performing units we know at any
price.
| Specification |
| Inputs |

T.D.S. - The Definitive Statement mono power amplifier
A monoblock unit featuring NVA's unique four-stage amplifier circuit with
quadruple power supplies, featuring over specified transformers and large
capacitors.
The revolutionary TDS features ¼ inch thick circuit boards - ten
times thicker than conventional ones - for maximum isolation from external
interference. Each circuit also features £90 worth of pure gold - the most
that can be applied to the TDS circuit. The result is an amplifier with
effortless dynamics and a breathtaking sense of realism.
TDS power amplifier must be used with a high quality passive preamplifier.
For best performance, we strongly recommend TDS power amplifier be matched with
an NVA Statement preamplifier, the best performing units we know at any
price.
