Any opinions on NAD quality?

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.

I've heard the same rumours Sugarbrie posted. Rumour was the transport had no transport screw.

YES I HAVE ------- BEEN A HI FI NUT FOR YEARS
ALWAYS BEEN A USER OF NAD EQUIPMENT . PRE AMP & 2X 2200
POWER AMPS ( STILL GOING WELL AFTER 15+ YEARS ) CHANGED THE VOL POT IN THE PRE IN 2000 BEING THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THE TUNER / TAPE / AMP SIDE OF THINGS ( BUT THEIR CD PLAYERS MAY SOUND GOOD BUT AFTER BUYING MY 4TH UNIT 2 YEARS AGO WHICH HAS NOW A TRANSPORT PROBLEM ,SAME AS THE LAST MODEL .AND 2 UNITS WITH DISPLAY & LAZER, I HAVE ONLY
WORD TOO SAY ( S*#T ) I HAVE PERCHASED MARANTZ DVD 4200
IT WORKS & IT MAKES MY TV COME TO LIFE TOO BOOT

SORRY NAD

Unsound-The missing transport screw was in the 512 only and was in the earliest models.It was quickly taken care of.

Rotel has actually had more recent reliablity issues than NAD...mostly pertaining to their 900 series intergrated amps...and my best local dealer...who carries Bryston,Bel Canto,etc...dropped Rotel in favor of the highly acclaimed NAD classic series intergrated amps...I would agree with the assessment that most of NADs reliability issues have been with their CD players...NADs bread n butter has always been its amps...and despite the military pea-green cosmetics...the sound is what is important....and its way better than it should be for the money...
