NAD 7140 VS Nakamichi TA 2A


It's been raining receivers at my local Thrift. Anyway I found two other receivers this week, and I am trying to decide which one to keep.
Nakamichi TA 2A. 50 WPC. Nice unit. Used it as a stand alone. And used it for a few days as a Pre. I like it. Would love to find the 4 A.
I have only briefly tested it, but I doubt there are any issues. A NAD 7140. When I tested it in the Thrift on low volume it almost blew me across the room. I was really surprised what it was putting out for a 40 WPC unit. It sounded more like a 100 WPC Unit. No joke
Any thoughts, or known issues on these units is welcomed. Which one would you keep? -Thanks-

The old trick with older NAD pieces was to immediately replace the pre out/amp in steel jumpers with interconnects/jumpers which immediately delivered a very palpable improvement.
