Stay away from the nad

interesting you say sample of one.  A few years back I was looking at them and a local dealer said they were pretty popular, but decided to drop the line when they kept getting them returned for repairs or failures, definitely not just an N=1.  That wasn't the only dealer that's told me that.

Any dealer that will bad mouth a brand they don't carry or no longer carry is not worth doing business with.  It's something a dealer with integrity just won't do.

judging from how many more posts there are about NAD reliability or lack of makes me ok with it.

Your choice of Accuphase is a good one. They follow the Deming rules of zero defects. An engineer friend of 40 years experience says he never sees them in for repair, except for some of the gray market ones.

Please contact me if you wish authorized advice about Accuphase. 

ivanj,

Yes please! I already contacted few Accuphase dealers and I am expecting
their phone calls on Monday.
