Any opinions on NAD quality?

My C 740 is being used in a home office environment. It is interesting that the so-called executive or ministereo systems easily sell for $300. Fortunately, I had old Genesis I speakers in my old and unused category and, at least for now, that makes a good-sounding pairing.

The biggest problems I have heard about over the years is the NAD CD players. Skipping, locking up, jams, and other transport issues the biggest complaints.

All I have to say......

If you want build quality and reliability and price for performance: see BRYSTON
or in the NAD price range... see ROTEL

Bryston and Rotel will blow NAD away qualitywise.

Bryston used is a good deal. They have 20 year warranties on all of their components.
