| The most important word of advise? If the wimpy looking plain-jane model sounds better, allow your ears to rule your eyes. | |
| any advice appreciated There is a an Accuphase P-300 on flea-bay right now that looks very nice for 400.00 opening bid. No one has bid on it (it has old style analog meters, so the "light show" isn't impressive)I know of no NAD amp priced in that range that could ever c... | |
