Are you looking for a compact, characterful amplifier rather than maximum power and features? At £157, this is a strong buy: it sits just below the £159 median and well above the £125 lower quartile for comparable used listings, making it excellent value rather than merely fair.
The Novo is well regarded for its discrete solid-state design, clean detail, engaging midrange and lively presentation. Its pass-through output also makes it unusually convenient in a hi-fi system, while its compact case is easy to accommodate. It is suitable across a broad range of headphone impedances, with useful output into both low- and high-impedance designs. Before committing, confirm that the separate 24V power supply is included and test for quiet operation, but with that in place this looks like a very worthwhile purchase.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Graham Slee Projects, founded in 1998 in the UK by engineer Graham Slee, traces its roots to his extensive career beginning in 1974. Starting in audiovisual engineering, he advanced through printed circuit design, electronics manufacturing, and broadcast audio, serving as a senior engineer for BBC studio contractors before freelancing in hi-fi. This deep expertise laid the foundation for a brand dedicated to precision audio electronics, all handmade in British workshops.
The company specializes in phono preamplifiers and headphone amplifiers, developed in tandem since 2000 to mutually enhance performance. Flagship phono stages like the Accession MM, Reflex M, Era Gold V, and Revelation excel at extracting superior detail from vinyl, while headphone amps such as the Solo Ultra Linear and Novo deliver refined, high-fidelity drive. Graham Slee also offers DACs, focusing on compact, synergistic components for vinyl enthusiasts and headphone users rather than speakers, turntables, or cables.
Positioned as a niche boutique in the high-end hi-fi market, Graham Slee earns acclaim among discerning audiophiles for its uncompromised sound quality and value. Free from mass production, its products prioritize musical transparency and build integrity, appealing to serious vinyl collectors and headphone aficionados who seek understated excellence over hype.
