I'm fairly new to the forum, (never posted yet) and only have a few weeks of experience with xxhighend and only 3 days with my brand new NOS1a. Grin


So today I decided to try my first tweak (sorry, haven't gotten around to getting decent feet yet.

I must say that using this very special wooden damping device has made a marked improvement to the sound of especially wooden instruments!

Question to Peter though: I couldn't find any reference to this device in your manual, did I put it in the right place? Or do you think even further improvements are possible?

Welcome Henk to this forum,

In the first place i was searching on the picture for that damping device. But i'm afraid that you mean that two white 'switches' on front of the NOS1a on the left site of the letter 'a'. I never heard or seen such a device. Where can i find more information about these?

Regards johan

Thanks for that Stanley, I didn't know how to reply, but you nailed it:)

Come to think of it:

Sabot is french for klomp.
Sabotage is directly derived from that word. I got these Klompen from Peter (or more likely his wife, who assembles the nos1A)

Peter, I hope you are not trying to sabotage my nos1a experience?
