Recent upgrades by SACDmods
Ditto Sbayne's experience. Matt Anker did the 2 channel only mods to my NS500V. It makes a very decent showing of itself for both Redbook and SACD. My system is vinyl oriented so SOTA digital playback is not a big listening priority for me. That b...

record storage?
Good points Rushton,As the "Bonde guy" in this thread, the nice thing about them other than their stable LP sized storage capabilities is their size and flexibilty. I currently have 3 units in my listening room, two flanking the window behind the ...
