Stay away from the nad
Your frustration is understandable.Personally, I'd send an email to NAD describing in detail the issue you're having. Include your purchase information, model, and serial number. Giving the manufacture an opportunity to make an offer is free and w...

perazzi28, thank you for your informative response and the accompanying links, very helpful. 
Curved and Straight Tonearms
When using the Fozgometer I find the ability to adjust azimuth on the fly with the vernier adjustment on my Well Tempered Classic arm very convenient opposed to the crudely limited head-shell adjustment of my S shaped Technics arm. 
Best Subwoofer To Use With A Two Way Speaker System
Perazzi28, I find the Sutherland N1 preamplifier very interesting. Appearance wise I especially fancy the nixi tube numerators. If you have a moment I was wondering what you were using for a preamplifier previously and your impressions of the N1 e... 
Best Subwoofer To Use With A Two Way Speaker System
The days of putting a sub in the corner, choosing a bass heavy recording and trying to make adjustments while standing behind the sub are long gone. Today your matching the sub to your room and the mains. There are a few powered subwoofer brands t...

Avalon Time vs ProAc D100 , Dear Audiogoners please give me some advise.
For what its worth, the only piece of audio gear I've purchased since I acquired my Avalon Eidolons was a Benz phono cartridge. Prior to the Avalon's I was on the equipment merry-go-round listening to the system but not the music.My wife's first i... 
How to set up REL Subwoofer?
Sakahara, as per your original question and not sure why your considering the Speakon connection. If you are using this subwoofer with a Home Theater receiver (Amplifier/ Processor) with 5.1 or as they refer it as a "multi-channel system where a .... 
Paradigm Personas anyone heard them
mofojo, I went into more detail here in a previous Persona thread and was immediately schooled by the Audiogon's resident Paradigm retailer who has at least thirteen responses in this thread alone. I should applaud him/them on his sales persistenc... 
Avalon Acoustics Ascent MKii value?
If I'm not mistaken Avalon Acoustics did finish some early models with a durable flat grey finish. There may be issues replacing some of the early drivers. Using the serial numbers one could email them for any serviceability issues and their origi...

phasel linear 400
Wolf, Dem daze the back line was loud for sure. Interesting about Massina's setup. Mid 60's Bass amplification didn't cut it for me. Using a Fender Reverb as a preamp feeding two Marantz 8Bs driving two JBL 4530 scoops (I think D140s) was a real p...
