Apollon audio vs Nord Hypex NC500 mono blocks which to pick

Apollon Audio NC800SLM has ETI BP20C or Neutrik Speakon option(which one is better?), has a switch for XLR and RCA connection option. 3.7 kg with Silver 10mm faceplate

Nord one up NC500MB 4.2 Kg. 

Nord chassis seems to be better but lack of proper separation between power supply and the NC500 module is concerning. Price per unit is almost the same.

Anyone in US making NC500 mono blocks of similar quality and build?.

Yes I did read the review at 6Moons, but no other reviews are there yet. Seems like Acoustic Imagery is no more and Merrill does not have those older amps on the website anymore.

@geek101 We are in the process of new layouts to address this comment, there is no sonic gain and we have never had any issues in the past and we have hundreds of amps in the field. The Stereo unit is now shipping with the new layout to the internals and back panel with shorter cables for the input and output. Pictures should be up in the next few days.

There are a further 2 pro reviews on our website by HiFi Pig and HiFi Wigwam. Happy to discuss via our website. Regards Colin
