| new to tuners Dave:A way to go that will give you some options is to purchase one of the Tivoli table radios. They can be used in either standalone mode or connected to the tuner/aux inputs of your NAD. The technology behind the Tivoli's borrows from cell phone... | |
| Suggestions for lower priced pre/amp All 3 manufacturers that you list ... NAD (C372); Rotel (1060/1062); and Cambridge Audio (540 or 640) sound different to a certain degree ... though I am not sure how much those differences will mean to you. All 3 makes have their fans and detract... | |

| dedicated SACD player A dedicated SACD player, in your price range, will typically sound very good with SACD's and acceptable with redbook CD's. The SONY 595 would be for SACDs what your Panasonic 97 is for DVD-A. At $100, the SONY is hard not to like and SONY seems to... | |
| Classic speakers to hunt down used Hi Gonglee3:Will you be using these speakers in your gym system? If so, be careful that you get speakers rated at 8 ohms and not 4 ohms. The Marantz 2270 was a bit of an anomaly, in that it put out 70 wpc into 8 ohms, but only 46 wpc into 4 ohms. ... | |
| B&W 602s3 or JM lab 707s for my Nad c320bee Carlos:Both speakers are retro in a way in that they are of the 2 cubic foot (56 liters) cabinet size that was very popular in the 60's & 70's. As the laws of physics go, this is good box size, as it allows you a decent sized woofer (8" or gre... | |
| UPS Tracking Question I have seen those types of status updates before. It means that UPS has picked up your package, but no routing information has been updated beyond that. Sounds like your unit is being delivered via UPS ground. What is the typical delivery time fro... | |
| Office system Bryan:If you want to get your feet wet ... check out this ad for a Marantz 2240 . For $175 it's a good buy, as the seller is including the wooden case which alone normally sells for a $100 or so. It will probably cost another $225 or so to clean ... | |

| Found the receiver, now on to the speakers... One more note about HK receivers ... never allow the +/- ends of the speaker cables to touch each other ... as you will smoke the receiver. HK does not use (or did not use as of 3 years ago) fuse protection ... it goes straight to smoke. Found out... | |
| Found the receiver, now on to the speakers... Try to track down a pair of NHT SB2's or SB3's. This line was recently discontinued by NHT and replaced by the Classic Line. You should be able to pick up a pair new if you shop around. The NHT SB series is a special line of speakers; perform well... | |
| Views of the Music Fidelity A300cr power amp? I owned a Musical Fidelity A300cr power amp for about a year and a half and used it in conjunction with a Musical Fidelity CD PRE24 (preamp/cd player combo). I traded in the MF A300cr for a Prima Luna Prologue 5 power amp last year, when I changed... |
