Wow, some serious NADs on display here, I must add I enjoy reading how some of your kit is acquired, shared and compared. I'm not a true audiophile so feel a little inadequate but here goes:
NAD 302 amp, really a pre amp that can act as small room power amp. I bought it ex demo from Richer Sounds when they used to have a Dublin branch, the same year Oasis released Definitely Maybe. Repaired once after it popped playing flat out by my then flatmate, a huge Oasis fan!
NAD 522 Cd player, bought new in the same shop, when Leftfield released Leftism. John that worked there set me on a fine path. The tray has played up a number of times but has refused to break.
I run these through a set of JPW AP2 speakers, also British (bought from a closing down hifi store in Dublin called Lafayette before any of the NAD, 2nd hand for 40 Irish punts because they bore my initials, one needing a woofer) such a nice sound from this little system, not great power and if you cross the half way mark the highs and lows fight with each other but don't stretch it's legs, then it's a listening pleasure I don't see me ever parting with.
It's been linked up with mixers and decks for small house parties and been so reliable down through the years.
I now have phono recently served by a technics SL-6 which brought me to this website and is bringing new life to my records.
Do I need to go bigger? My wife won't let me plug the Telly into it as has "too much bass"
Don't give out to me for not having speaker stands, I have the Egyptian Lover and he sounds OK with it!
