Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri
I'm in love with my Blue Circle NSCS. I'm not much on waxing poetic odes regarding this unit. However I do feel its even better sounding than what the reviews have stated. I bought it sound unheard. (Shame on me!)It does takes a LONG time to break...

Don't worry about the shipping. Properly packaged all will be well. Most everyone on audiogon has either shipped something or received an item via a shipping company and the horror stories are far and few between.Go for the NAD system.
