Rotel vs NAD
I don't have experience with the combos that you have mentioned. But I do have experience with similar priced integrated in both the brands. Both brands offer good value for money.NAD:Bit warmRelaxed and laid back soundRotel:On cooler sideBrings s... 
Preamp upgrade for NAD 320BEE
IMO, I think the pre-amp section is not as good as the amp section in any NAD integrated.Hieule5, I completely agree with you on this 
Hi-Fi Tuning Fuse for NAD C352?
Knownothing,Do you know where in the NAD amp are those fuses located? Does the AMC amp have similar layout as the NAD? 
Interconnects for NAD Electronics
Celtic66,I would not say Silver will be bright - rather Silver will reveal any deficiencies in the system. Will also depend upon what speakers are being used in the system. 
Problem with Marantz SA-8260
Rapn3,Sharri's response to the original thread is correct one - especially based on the issues that Macdonj has mentioned. These problems are what gave the 8260 a bad reputation despite being a superb player.But Macdonj should still contact Marant... 
Preamp upgrade for NAD 320BEE
David,You are EXACTLY in the same boat that I was on some months ago. And all I can suggest you is to get a Promitheus TVC. I am sure your NAD will sound much more better than the Exposure you are using. I am using a Reference C-Core version with ... 
Affordable Upgrade to Spelt Anti Cables?
Been using Signal Cable Silver Resolutions for quite some time and am very happy. I had Nordost Flatline and Blue Heavens before. 
The Best CD player under $1000.
Marantz basic SACD players - 8260, 8001, 8003, etc are absolutely amazing. I have used my 8260 for the past 4 years and luv it. I wish Marantz had included HDCD in this series of players. 
Monarchy se-100 delux mk2?
I am interested in knowing this too. 
Why do speakers recommend amp wattage?
Nice thread. I was also curious about the wattage.What is the importance of "current" in amperes? I have seen specs of amps with wattage but different current output. For eg. one amp had 200 Watts per channel and gave 60 amperes where as another g... 
NAD Integrated Comparison
NADs are great amps. I did not do a direct comparisons of my grade and the higher up amps in the NAD line. But I understand from the ecoustics.com forum that the difference between my C352 and the higher end NAD was worth the price of admission. Y... 
Power Amp..opinions please
Mechans,I have repeated this in other threads - I am not a "devout tube hater". It is just that I don't want the problems of tunes like biasing, heating, matching, etc. Don't have too much time on hand for those issues. If I go tubes, I will loose... 
Power Amp..opinions please
Thanks guys. I was out for the long weekend and did not get time to go through the updates.Mamboni,Good to know that the W4S may sound good in my system. I found from the user manual that the Marantz outputs 2.2V.Timrhu,I am a bit worried that if ... 
Power Amp..opinions please
Mamboni,Your last statement is interesting. Do you mean the sensitivity of the amp shows how much volts a amp should get to output the full power? Or is it what is required to drive the amp comfortably? My CDP outputs 2V. So what does a TVC do wit... 
Power Amp..opinions please
Mamboni,Thanks for your inputs. I like the warm sound of the NADs and I am looking for amps which will retain that character. To give you an example - when I was auditioning integrated amps 4 years back, I found the NAD to be warm while the Rotels...
