Should I keep around my NAD 3155?


Here is my current system:
NAD 3155 integrated
Thorens TD 145 (with Denon 110)
NAD C515BEE
Gallo Due speakers + Gallo Subwoofer

I enjoy it hugely, especially the Thorens, but I'm wondering if I'd benefit from upgrading the integrated. I'd prefer not to spend more than $1,000. Should I consider upgrading or should I just stay put?

Thanks!

Sounds very interesting Dweller. I recently acquired the C375bee and think it is very good. I hope I can read up on this new amp in the works.
Thanks everybody. Are there any other fans of Audio Analogue? Also, any thoughts on Creek amps? I was looking at a used 5350.
I have an old 3155 integrated as well, in a secondary system for casual listening. No, it was never a contender for transparency but it is a nice integrated for a beginners system and you will pay much more for new equipment to beat it. After all, this is 25+ years old.

Due to this age it is probably wise to re-cap it. I did this about 5 years ago and it did come back to life and sounds fine again. Better than original? Who knows, I can't go back 25 years to compare, but it was definitely better after the recap than before. Cost me about $100 in parts (Panasonic FC caps from Digikey) and I did the work myself. It was a fun project, just be sure to go one part replacement at a time and replace exact values.

Enjoy,

Yeah, if I had more patience and know-how, I'd be happy to work on the 3155. However, I am not inclined to do any work on my amp. It has been checked out and cleaned recently, though.

I am getting very tempted by a Analogue Audio or Creek 5350...
