I came into possession of a Nakamichi TA-1A Receiver Amp, NAD 3140 Amp and I have a pair of Pioneer CS911a speakers. Can I (should I), hook up everything together ?
If most/all music is on the ipod then I would compare the NAK vs NAD when driven by the ipod and choose which sounds best and use that one. How are you planning on getting a signal from the ipod?
I agree with Swamp. Try both as stand alone units and see which sounds better.
I was a Nakamichi and NAD dealer and sold both of these units. The NAK should be a little sweeter, smoother and warmer in sound than the NAD, but the NAD will be a little more powerful and dynamic and have better bass control.
You'll just need to see which one is more to your liking and which has more synergy with the Pioneer speakers.
I have a "Y" cable (not sure what else to call it). When I listen to my iPod in my wood shop on a multi function radio, I just plug in the iPod. I'll do the same with these units I guess. I was considering a "Fatman" docking station but I don't need another amp unit.
