I have to say that I love that so many of us have such great memories and/or experiences with NAD gear. I ran a pre (104?) and power (204?) amp combo as my first 'hifi' gear starting 16 or so years ago. Great, great equipment that is just plain hard to beat without spending significantly more.
The only other candidate that I might throw in that I think is of the same ilk is the Creek 5350SE. They seem to go in your range with a very solid MM phono stage.
