Here’s a few things I remember: 1. NAD stood for “Not Always Defective” 2. Sony ES stood for “Extra Sides” (Our store carried the regula... | |

| Looking for advice I have a Bluesound Node 2i going onto an AudioGd NFS-1 DAC and Audiolab 6000CDT transport. I was strongly considering a Cambridge Audio transport since I previously had the Azur 840C CD player but the reviews on the Audiolab seemed better. Very ... | |
| Tuner choice I’ve been through lots of tuners over the past 40 years, many highly acclaimed by the fm tuner info site. The Sansui TU717 is an excellent tuner that I had many years ago. I much prefer analog tuners to digital ones with the exception of a Merid... | |
| Any favorites for cosmetics/design/how a product looks? I like odd sized gear, Brit shoe box sized integrated amps & separates, triangular cassette decks like the one from Yamaha & Nakamichi or top loading ones like the early Tandberg cassette decks, The 200 series of Meridian gear, boxy CD pla... | |
| Time/Process of Hooking up New Equipment I also relax and take my time when adding a piece of gear or moving things around to different shelves. Kren0006 - been there, done that too for many years when I was married :) | |
| The Audiophile's Wife no longer putting it out? It’s been over 3 months since her last post and I’m Jonesin’ for some new material from her. Grannyring, I hope you and your wife and families are all well, and if so, could you kindly ask her to get busy writing. Her skills are greatly in demand ... | |
| Streaming Thru the Cambridge Audio Azur 840C DAC This was an old post, I see the last comment was deleted. The transport in the Cambridge ended up going, so I sold the unit about a year and a half ago.. I got a Bluesound Node 2i and an Audio-gd DAC and an Audiolab 6000CDT, couldn’t be happier…. | |

| Best integrated amps thecarpathian….. Hysterical Tom!!! This is like a phony phone call from the 70’s but instead as a newsgroup posting. You really had me going :). Well done! | |
| Best integrated amps Seriously thecarpathian - private message me who you are, I live overseas now. If it’s who I think this is, do you also want some more chocolate chip cookies from my Nephew? How’s the Fleawatt treating you? I’ll be back in the States mid Au... | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? I also have the Audiolab 6000 CDT now with an Audio-gd DAC and it’s very solid combo indeed. | |
