NAD 1600 Receiver


Anyone own or have this model?
If so I just had mine “overhauled”, and I can’t believe the machine that has been hiding inside its case!!!!  Boom.

I bought the 2600A power amp new, and still have it. Liked it very much back then, but not quite as much today.

If I remember correctly, the 7160 was the receiver version of my amp
@jmcgrogan2 you're right about the 7600.  Thank you, John.

Bought my NAD at Community Audio on Germantown Ave.   You may have also spent a lot of time there?  My first real high-end audio move, when I was a teenager in the late 80s.  Getting the power amp instead of the receiver saved me a few hundred, which got me over the hump.   I already had a decent tuner, jumped totally into "perfect sound forever", and tried moving on from vinyl.   The 2600A's level controls let me run straight in, with no preamp, which also saved me some.  No issues in swapping my interconnects between CD, cassette, and tuner.

My parents and sister were far more tolerant than I'd be of my 100-120 dB.  Fun times...
