Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $1500.00 from Natural Sound Inc.

Summary:
I have used this pre-amp for 2 years now.So, I would think I have a good idea how it performed. My speaker set up is Paradigm Reference Active speakers for the front 3 (Studio 40 v.2 and Center Chanel v.2), and 2 Paradigm Reference ADP v.2 in the back.

I have nothing but high praise on this pre-amp. The sounds were crisp and clear on eveything you throw in. Operation is easy; my wife have no problem operating and selecting signal sources.

I had in mind to get a Rotel but decided on this one so my bud-ing teenage kids can also listen to the tuner. (Rotel pre-amp didn't have tuner.) It was not a disappointment plus it was less expensive. I am going to keep this one for a while.

Strengths:
Clear revealing sound, wide soundstage, on both music and movie, stereo by-pass or digital process.

Weaknesses:
So far none.

Review 2 of 3

Price Paid:  $1499.00 from brett interiors at t

Summary:
This processor is outstanding for the price. It plays music and movies very well. There are many settings that one can play with depending on room acoustics and speaker settings. I had Rotels and more expensive equipment but this unit compares well with the rest of them. Definitely a good bargain for the money.

Strengths:
Musicality and neutrality

Weaknesses:
none at this price

Similar Products Used:
Rotel, Pioneer Elite, Outlaw, Sherbourns, ATI

Review 3 of 3

Price Paid:  $829.00 from www.hifibitz.co.uk

Summary:
This preamp has it all! Not unnecesary features but does an EXCELLENT job of decoding LOADS of different formats! As a reviewer said "There may be other pre/pro combinations that may have more bells & whistles but this combination is what a true bells & whistles should sound like"...it's something like that lol. Very neutral sound, very simple and easy to use, upgradeable in the future (hoping NAD brings out more upgrades in the future).

Strengths:
Upgradable firmware/software/hardware. Neutral sound. Supports all kind of inputs you can think of. Stands up to NAD "music comes first" tradition!

Weaknesses:
No Firewire, HDMI, DVI support.

Best Floorstanding Speakers Under $1000

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
