NAD 1600 Receiver

If I remember correctly, the 7160 was the receiver version of my amp

@trelja , Joe, I believe the NAD 7600 was the receiver version of the 2600 power amp:

The NAD 1600 is a preamp/tuner, not a receiver.

@trelja , Ha! Joe, we seemed to have followed similar paths.

I also stumbled upon high-end audio in the late 80's (1987?).
I bought the NAD 7600 as my ultimate receiver (and my last).
I moved to separates in to early 90's. I bought mine from Bryn Mawr Stereo in Jenkintown.

I stumbled upon the high end scene by replying to a small ad in the back of Audio magazine for a speaker company called Reel to Real Design, started by Bill Duddleston. He was selling speakers called Legacy back then, and building them in his garage! 
Later on, he changed the name of his company to Legacy Audio, and became quite famous.

Anyway, he sent me a bunch of literature in the mail which opened a new door for me. In it he mentions audio companies like Vandersteen and Audio Research, and magazines like Stereophile, that I had never heard of before. Opening the door to a whole new world.

I bought his top of the line Legacy 1's, which I believe are now called the Legacy Classic (now near his bottom of the line).
I bought the NAD 7600 to drive them....then several decades of insanity followed. ;^)
