Amplifier input tech question
Are you satisfied with the sound of your system,if so,why do you feel the need to turn the volume past a certain number? 
NAD remotes
Why don't you call or write NAD and ask them? 
Will grounding plugs improve the sound of my NAD ?
I did not notice any sonic improvement but,they sure do a good job of keeping the dust out. 
Elvis Presley Fans?
Fantastic Gospel singer and his early rockabilly stuff was good,other than that,just another overhyped pop singer/bad actor.Of course,this is just my opinion.Obviously,many folks adore him and that's okay by me. 
Rebuild or New?
If you still like the sound,why bother? 
What paint sheen?
Geez,I have no idea.Why don't you ask the wife or maybe you mother. 
Your First Concert was.....
B.B. King at the University of West Florida field house.I was 14 years old. I will never forget how good he was. 
Traditional Brands vs. "Audiophile" Brands
Don't worry about labels,go with what sounds good to you. 
Turntable to go with NAD and B&W's..Vpi, Rega etc
The seller of the Rega says it's 7 years old and only has30 hours on it? Beware of sellers making claims like this.This is just my opinion. 
Interconnects under $100 RCA for phono to preamp
Try a used pair of Nordost Blue Heaven ic's.You can find them in the classifieds for around $100.00.If you don't like them, you shouldn't lose money on resell. 
What was your most engaging audio experiance
"Thorens turntable, McIntosh tube pre and amp, and Dalquist DQ-10's." at 19 years old? Must have been a little rich boy. I should be so lucky. 
Passive Preamps
I prefer the agressive ones.Wait a minute,thats how I like my women!!!! 
Do you ever wonder?
I could list dozens but I'll stick with just one.I never could figure out why Elvis Costello is so well regarded in the music world.He has a few catchy tunes but I see nothing special about him,certainly not the musical genius that lots of people ... 
need new amp
get it fixed 
Nordost Vahalla or Mit Oracle
If I had $5000.00 to spend on cables,I would be trying them myself,not asking what others think.Of course,this is just my opinion.
