Onkyo A 9555 who does it compare?

Never used the phono on the NAD. Don't remember the model numbers, but they were same list price as the Onkyo.

I tired a 162 then a 160. I thought they had a very clear sound that almost sounded to clear and for sure in the phone section I had a Rotel RC 1070 here at the same time as the 162 and thought the Rotel had a much better phone section to my ears Great PRAT. I thought the NAD screwed this up somehow.
What integrateds did you have? thanks for your help

C272 and C162

What NAD amp and preamp did you have?

The DX-7555 also matches up great, and works very well as a transport.

I much preferred the Onkyo to similarly priced NAD and Rotel, owned all three. The much more expensive NAD separates sounded better, but I had breakdowns with my NAD amp and integrated and therefore kept the Onkyo. I think at current prices it is still a great value.
