Nytech CTA252 XDII Receiver
Absolutely terrific attention to detail and customer care from Nytech Audio for my amplifier.
I’ll spare folks the technical hifi blather (most of which I don’t understand anyway), but if you were a Nytech owner back in the day (like me), or you’ve inherited one, or found one somewhere and you’re not sure what to do with it, get in touch with Phil at Nytech. You won’t regret it.
Nytech Audio. Truly independent. Some of the best of British design and engineering.

CDP132 MM/MC RIAA Phono Stage
The CDP132 is simply excellent in terms of both performance and value. I’ve tried a few phono stages over the years from some well-known brands, and with each upgrade I’ve gradually improved the performance of my system.
After speaking with Phil, I decided to give the CDP132 a try. He kindly offered a 30-day trial period, meaning I’d only have to pay the return postage if I wasn’t happy with it.
As it turned out, I was more than happy with it. Despite costing only about a third of the price of my previous phono stage, don’t let that fool you. The CDP132 brings exceptional depth to recordings and delivers a level of holographic imaging I had never experienced before. It’s truly fantastic.
I can wholeheartedly recommend it. It’s difficult to put into words just how impressive the listening experience is. Take advantage of the 30-day trial period and give it a go—I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
Thank you!

The absolute best way to protect your albums! I feel more confident moving them around my house without scratching.
I was looking for these for months! The only place in the UK where I could find them was Nytech Audio. Excellent service and quick delivery.

Nytech CTA252 XDII Receiver
Just to thank Phil for repairing my CTA 252 XD mk11 back to health.
It now looks like new and also sounds like new.
He had quite a job on his hands as it’s been in my loft since the mid nineties although it was working before that.
Many thanks Phil

Volstor Record Protectors
We absolutely love your record protectors!
I say ‘we’ cause 1 box got confiscated by my husband within minutes after arrival….understandable…they are great!
They indeed fit 2 x 12″ or a double and I can now easily push my fancy pancy vinyl back in line with the rest without damaging the spine.
I also found the protector extremely helpful to keep a ‘bundle’ together as 1 piece without splitting up the content. (Those bundles are also very difficult to keep with the rest because the extra’s leave indentations, but not when I put everything in your protector)
so…me, my husband and my cardboard free cupboards are happy!
I will be recommending your protectors!

Ion Obelisk 3
My Ion Obelisk 3 expired with a bang and a cloud of smoke, but fortunately before I took it for disposal an internet search led me to Nytech and the possibility of getting it repaired and serviced. Phil completed the work very quickly and dispatched the amplifier back by courier service. It is sounding great but I need to upgrade the speakers from my 1970s ones now to see what it is really capable of! Great service, recommended.

Nytech CA252 Integrated Amplifier
“I have two vintage Nytech amps from the 1980s. Both have been expertly and speedily refurbished and sound better than any other amp I’ve heard. Great customer service and great communication. Phil really cares about the amps and it shows.”
Steve S, South Wales, UK
Ion Obelisk
“Just to let you know how much pleasure I have had from my Obelisk since you returned it. I love the quiet phases now, believe the bass line is stronger and voices cleaner. Just been listening to an old Martin Simpson record and I am right there back in the hall where I first heard his magical guitar playing.
I know my equipment is old ( LP12, Ittok, Adikt, Obelisk, Royd Edens ) but the sound is as right for me now as it was the day I chose it and that is what counts.”

Nytech CP112 / CPA602
”Just a note to say how pleased I am with the amp, which I have paired with B&W CM1 S2 speakers. The combination works really well with all styles and era’s of music that I have thrown at it. The clarity and tonal balance is excellent. Who needs tone controls!”
DP, Winchester, UK
Nytech CA252
”Amp arrived lunch time, no damage, all intact. Love the rear panel. Did a Full Road test…wonderful…Sweet at the levels I want it and even sweeter through my new Sennheiser cans except for a faint crackle between numbers.
So (at last !) many thanks for the work, alright if I drop it back in 30 years for another re-build?”
PR, St Jacques de Thouars, France
Nytech CA302
“I’ve found myself digging out LPs I haven’t played in donkeys’ years. The amp sounds sweeter than ever. Many thanks.”
ST, Bristol, UK
Nytech CTA252 XD11
“My Nytech arrived in excellent shape both cosmetically and acoustically. Very nice job…very impressive for an amp of its age. Thank you again for your kindness and professionalism. This was, definitively, money very well spent!”
JL, Athens, Greece
Nytech CA252
“I would like to send a big thank you for the service and repair of my amp. I am delighted with the sound and the looks of the amp, you have done a fantastic job. I would also like to thank you for the quick turn round, my standby amp is ready for the local recycling centre so I missed the Nytech very much.”
AH, Hastings, UK
Nytech CTA252 XD11
“I have just received my refurbished Nytech CTA252 back today. I had always enjoyed this product and It has never sounded as good as it does now, money well spent. Not only have Nytech done a fantastic job but they were an absolute pleasure to deal with I could not have asked for a better service.”

Meridian M3 Active Loudspeakers
“A short note to thank you for refurbishing my Meridian M3 speakers.
You have achieved a significant improvement in the sound and they are tickling my ears as they did when I purchased them.
One of my few purchases that will be become a family heirloom.”

Nytech CP122 / EXO102 / CPA602 active system with ARC 050 loudspeakers
“As you know, my units and I have traveled long distance (through air and land) and spent much time to get every thing right and complete my full Nytech active system. Thanks to you, not only that my system sounds like heaven, I was also fortunate to meet a great man like “H” who was super helpful in completing the puzzle. You always go the extra mile for me, whether by the connection to “H”, by providing the great service for my units, or by replying to all my random emails. As a client, this is just the best experience one can get.
So, yesterday I received the new-old Garrard 401 turntable back from a full service after purchasing it last week in Israel (believe it or not). I specifically looked for a Garrard to complete an all British system.
During these difficult times in my country, my stereo system is the perfect escapism.”

CDP102 Moving Coil Adaptor
It’s about one and a half year now I have been using your CDP102 moving coil adaptor in my system. I always wanted to give you some more detailed feedback, and i think it’s about time now 😉
The CDP102 performs just sublime! I compared it several times to my existing adaptor and after some half year or so decided to definitely keep the CDP102 and let the other adaptor go. Both units perform on a comparable level but longterm listening and compare sessions led me to the conclusion that for my taste, the CDP102 is ahead. It may not be as resolving as the other but on the other hand has a more realistic imaging and a seductive sense of music flow. I enjoyed listening to my vinyl music collection considerably more with the Nytech compared the other. In the end the other MC adaptor seemed to be more HiFi than music to my ears and its representation was quite “technical”, in a sense that it somehow ripped the music apart. The CDP102 in contrary kept the “musical story” together and always was more engaging than the other.
In the end, certainly not a night-and-day difference, but very clear to my ears which one suited them better. I must say, your CDP102 is quite an accomplishment and it’s worth the money big time. I realized today on your website that the price tag has gone up to 199 GBP (I payed 118 GBP last year), but even at that price it’s a very worthwhile offer.
I would not hesitate a moment to recommend the CDP102 to anyone in need of such a device, and from the experience I’m having with it, I can only imagine the musical quality of the rest of your product line.
(Nytech note – We’ve removed the name of the “other” adaptor above. Suffice it to say that it currently (as of 2024) retails in the UK for about £700 (GBP).

CP202 / CPA402 Pre/Power amplifier
“I have had them (CP202/CPA402) for about a month now and they sound fabulous. I have them set up with a Rega Saturn R CD player and Monitor Audio Silver 6 speakers, connected via Graham Slee interconnects and speaker cable and Audioquest Mackensie XLR to XLR cables. We like all sorts of music from Prog Rock to modern Minimalist composers and all of the CDs played so far sound as though they have been re-mastered, such is the difference from my old system. I never really understood the term ‘a wide soundstage’ until I connected up the Nytech amps. Keep up the good work and thank you for all of the help and advice that you provided.”

CDP102 Moving Coil Adaptor
“I was quite positively surprised about the sturdy metal enclosure, of which I first thought it would be plastic. The shielding is perfect.
After playing several records through rock, electronic and concluding it with a first pressing of Kind of Blue, I can surely say this little box is quite an improvement over the transformer.
As expected, there is some elevated background noise, but nothing to be concerned of. But the bass response is now much better, also the high frequencies are slightly reduced. So, it was indeed just a setup thing, unlike even some dealers claim, that the AT-OC9/III has a thin sound – not at all!
The battery drawer is my favourite, easy to access and completely fool-proof. I tried it with an NiMh rechargeable battery it works like a charm.
Thanks again, I truly think your support is outstanding for such a product. Others charge ten times as much and will leave the new owner alone with it.”
Norman B, Germany
CDP102 Moving Coil Adaptor
“In my opinion the adaptor is best described as an “amplifying piece of wire”. If the record delivers dynamics you will hear all the dynamics, if the record sounds flat it will sound flat – and so on. I think the adaptor doesn’t have its own sound it just amplifies without changing the characteristics, something that SUTs (step up transformers) always do. What I also like is that the MC adaptor is dead silent (at least if you don’t put it too close to a large transformer). I like the idea that it is battery powered – no expensive PSU necessary and no influences from the grid.”
