Is anyone excited about the new NAD M66?   Ive been considering it but dont know much about the brand.

My NAD 3130 integrated from the late 1980's is still going strong. Very nice sounding too. 👍

@sandrodg73 If you want an excellent sounding preamp, try the LTA microZOTL preamp.  After auditioning one for a few days, I ordered one to replace my PS Audio BHK preamp, which I've been otherwise happy with for quite a few years. 

IMO, the microZOTL is more transparent, sounds a bit more "musical" and warmer, with more detail.  Sound stage is about the same.  In my setup, the microZOTL/BHK250 combination sounds excellent.

Just got mine. I have a nad c658 which I love. The m66 is a complete mystery. It has almost no documentation. I easily set up phono and room. But for some reason the out put from my average will not work no matter what the settings. The avr out works fine going into my m23 or my c658. Tried switching cables and m66 inputs, nothing. Total mystery, and again no documentation of note.

NAD has gone thru periods where quality suffered. I believe it was related to a change in manufacturing location or vendor. I know folks who have had great luck on vintage and  new gear and  a few who have had issues in newly launched products. As long as you don't mind the low risk I would try them. They are established and seem to be responsive to issues. That's what you want for your investment. They sell lots of different lines and that is an indication of supporting their  business and  trying to grow it. Reasonable risk to me.
