    NAD 3150 versus Music Hall 15.3 (Integrated Amps)

    OK, guys I'm a bit perplexed here. I bought this 1982 model NAD last year from a nice local guy here on AK. Really great sound! Full-bodied and rich, especially now that I have upgraded a few other aspects of my system. I also bought an almost new Music Hall amp here for a good price. Clean...

    Seeking Opinions: Which amp to drive Polk SDAs?

    I just picked up a Legacy Audio High Current amplifier (an early one with no serial #, made by Coda as far as I can tell) with the intention of driving my SDA 3.1TLs with it. I am currently using an NAD 2200. However, looking at the Legacy published specs (from the paper manual that came with...

    Lots of system changes!

    Since my last post here, I have swapped my amp from a Rotel RA-1520 to a NAD C388, swapped speakers twice from the Profil-77 to the JM Lab Cobalt 816, then to the JM Lab Electra 926. I’ve added a Chord MoJo DAC, and added and subtracted a Parasound zPhono USB. The biggest change sound wise was...

    Bose 901 Series II: pop when powered on

    I just picked up a pair of Bose 901 Series II with equalizer, and when I hook them up to my NAD 3140, I get a loud pop when I turn everything on. I recapped the NAD a couple years ago, and it doesn't pop with my KLH Model 3s. Is it safe to say that the Bose equalizer is the culprit? The...

    Power Amp for Rogers Studio 1?

    I recently purchased a pair of Rogers Studio 1s that a local hi-fi nut had restored to the tune of $1k and was selling complete with custom stands for under $500 just so he'd have room for his next project. Right now I'm driving them with a 35w NAD receiver that I bought somewhere around 1995...

    NAD 7100 VOLUME CONTROL

    I picked up a NAD 7100 receiver a few years ago. Sounded great. I haven't used it since then. I tried it a few days ago, and now it has a serious issue with the volume control. The knob has no effect below about 10 o'clock — it plays LOUD and ONLY loud — I can't turn it down. The problem wasn't...

    NAD 7140 Stereo Receiver

    Curious of opinions on this one. Got this in trade for cleaning out a friends laptop that had beer spilled into it and I do love its sound so far. It seems to have a bit of punch but the phono stage may need a filter cap replacement as it hums slightly. I use an outboard phono preamp...
