P4, as you know, is the single chassis version of dual 300B Conquest. More robust sounding, a bit less refined, as we've said here. I prefer the P3 amps myself. And just the muddy the water, ex libris might want to listen to either the Neros or their new less expensive brother, the Empress, an amp less well-to-do Nero lovers have been asking for a long time.
From the AN website:
Empress
The Neiro mono amplifiers have always occupied a particularly special place in the Audio Note (UK) range. Producing 8 of the sweetest, most emotionally involving watts imaginable, thanks to the use of a pair of the legendary 2A3 valves per amplifier and our own extremely special copper / silver output transformers, the performance of the Neiro amplifiers is held in suitably high regard by audiophiles around the world.
Unfortunately, such extreme levels of performance command a high price, and we were continually asked if we could produce an amplifier with many of the characteristics of the Neiro but in a more affordable package... and finally, such an amplifier is here, in the form of the Empress. Sharing the same circuit design as the Neiro, Empress replaces the costly copper / silver transformers with all copper versions, helping to retaining some of the character, subtlety and purity of the Neiro whilst enabling it to be offered at a considerably reduced price point. Never have 8 such beguiling watts been so affordable!
