NAD Quality?


I have considered upgrading my vintage NAD receiver with a newer NAD unit. What concerns me is the amount of "refurbished" NAD gear that is being sold by various outlets.

Were these units returned simply because the owners were not happy with the sound, etc?

Or, were they returned because they were defective? With the amount of refurbed NAD gear that is available I have to wonder about the overall quality of the brand.

I've gone through three high-priced NAD products in the last 12 months. The quality has shifted - yeah that's the word for it.

That said, I've had no problems taking my questions directly to the helpful NAD techies by phone or email.

I've also had great experiences with a certain authorized B-stock reseller in New England and highly recommend contacting them vs. buying new.

Need another reason to buy B-stock? Sadly NAD's resale value has shifted as well.

M55 (Honeymoon ended super fast - I'm considering other partners)
T763 (Mutual break up and still on speaking terms)
T973 (Bad break up)
3 x 2150 as mutli-zone power amps(can't get them out of the house)
At least they stand behind their product.

The warranty replacement for my 4-month old M55 Universal Disc Player is currently on backorder.
