If upgrades were no longer possible would you be
Same here. I enjoy what I have. 
Is an iPod considered to be a Transport?
I have the Wadia 170i Transport, which is an iPod doc. I think you got it right. 
One of my speakers sounds louder then the other.
If your speakers had equal volume at one time and you recently made a change causing you to move any of your equipment, check to make sure all cables are secure. 
NAD M55 Display brightness
My M3 has a dim display too. Must be the nature of the beast.

Audiocr, did you mention your room size and speaker placement as in distance from room boundaries? Thanks 
Interconnects for NAD C165bee & C275bee
In correction I have the Audioquest King Cobras in my NAD system with no plans of trying to upgrade. I had the Diamondbacks before the King Cobras, which are also great cables with somewhat less bass definition than the King Cobras. The Diamondbac...

I am happy with Audioquest Diamondbacks in my NAD system with no plans of trying to improve upon the Diamondbacks.

Best Speakers match for NAD C372
Polk Lsi 15s works great with the NAD C372 with all kinds of music at any volume level in my room/setup.

IC upgrade advice - Lost
I had Sidewinders in my system. I upgraded to Diamondbacks, which was a significant and worth the money improvement over the Sidewinders. I now use King Cobra's. They are an improvement in clarity with tighter bass over the Diamondbacks but the Di...
