I managed to obtain this from eBay for £45.00, and compared to my knackered old JVC AGX-1 from the 80's, it was incredible! The clarity and definition of the sound was awesome! I personally love the styling, it's just a big block of metal. You get the impression that NAD only put the knobs on cos the had to, they'd of liked to put them on the back or not put them on at all, but they didn't. Overall for the money I paid for it, it's the bargain of the century. It's the bargain of the century no matter what you pay for it!
