Possibile new Integreated recomendation
I am surprised to see anyone mention the NAD Master Series M3, as it rarely gets mentioned. For a Class A rated product from Stereophile never to get mentioned much is amazing. Even if you believe the ratings are BS, it usually gets more talk then... 
sony scd-777 dac vs PS Audio DLIII DAC
Dave sure does seem to like that Sony, and based on everything he has owned, I won't argue with him ! I agree on all the mods and DACS, and have never went there myself either. I am currently happy with my NAD M5 Master Series SACD/CD, seems to wo...

Hi, I hate that triangle cover, and actually even VPI, I was told thinks the table is better without it ? Plus it is easier to move the belt for a speed change. I also think it looks cleaner without it. It was there to protect the pulley, but I be... 
who needs a cd player anymore
Well every time I read posts like this about anything going obsolete, I like to post a link to an article, by a well known audio writer. I cannot find it right now. But this was a real serious article that even gave a time frame, that has come and... 
Can "Digital" damage my gear?
I have had some BIG pops on an LP, that I would worry more about then anything digital ? 
I seek your guidance - re turntable
There you as I said at the beginning, I through my 2 cents in with the used VPI HW-19, at $400-700(depending on variations) that would leave you plenty of scratch to spend on a nice cartridge, and still be under $1200.00.And you also got the SL120... 
I seek your guidance - re turntable
If it were me, I would look at a used VPI HW-19 JR or MKIII. Both would do a nice job for $400-700 bucks. Most likely would have either a Audioquest or Rega arm. Always coming and going on Audiogon, there are a lot of them out there. Of course you... 
balanced cd player
Sorry NAD M5 
balanced cd player
NAD M%, but is also SACD and HDCD capable. 
How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ???
I always love the term, blows away or smokes in our audio hobby. 
Recommendations for a CD player $1500 or less
Good point also from a few others about warranty on all these many newer branded CD players out there. What happens in a few years if you cannot get them fixed. In this case Sony and Lenbrook Ind, which is NAD, PSB Speakers and several others in C... 
Recommendations for a CD player $1500 or less
Another possibility if you are open is the NAD M5 Cd/SACD with HDCD. The Masters Series stuff in not regular NAD. It is well thought of, and a lot of them out there. You can buy one with a discount for about $1500.00 from several places new with 3... 
thoughts on NAD M3
Vinylmeister, I assume you had troubles with a piece ? My take, and I think it is somewhat factual is that there is nothing wrong with China built, it just depends on who is building. I have a Mac amp and pre, made obviously in the US, yet the 201...

Try Ultimate Cables out of Canada, he makes some nice looking din/RCA phone cables for about $85.00 He advertises on Audiogon and also has a website. I have one here and it looks quality, but I have not tried it yet. It has nice RCA's Neutrik I be... 
thoughts on NAD M3
Your right with that thought. I think in the case of the M3, with all the rave reviews, and the fact that NAD is a relatively high volume marketer, that you would find a bunch of these on here. It looks like many now are retailers selling them on ...
