Specifications
The correlation between published specifications and sonic quality is unreliable. A list of
numbers reveals virtually nothing. All technical measurements must be subject to quali-
tative as well as quantitative interpretation. Measurements of the Nº383 yield excellent
results by any standards. However, only those specifications that apply to its actual op-
eration are included here.
