@EJ3 That NAD 2200 seems to be a top performer of I understand the above correctly. Hasn’t NAD produced something better (our...

My NAD 2200's are a simple box with 3 small informative LED s. Manufactured 1987-89. Not exactly modern. But simple enough while being...

This is my amp. It has been in service since it was new (along with the other 5 and the 2 NAD 2100's). The upgrades: A couple of...

Reckon that the best bang for buck is usually found somewhere in the middle personally. Not current cutting edge, but not strictly...

Cool, I like the wrap-up! :)

Thanks to all who pitched in on this topic. It was interesting and even entertaining at times. :) There are too many of you for...

Possibly noise performance 70's 80's everything hissed 90's not so much . In the old bad days gain structure was all over the place ...

For folks of a certain age (like me) the older stuff fed our sighted bias a lot better. But sound quality? Nah. And I’ve moved on. My...

Sound quality? – Not necessarily any difference. Have newer designs improved sound quality? – Not really. Amplifiers from the 70s and...
