    Old NAD CD Player Hierarchy: Monitor Series 5000 vs 5100 vs 5300

    I have a pair of NAD Monitor Series CD players I'd like to have refreshed. The 5300 is dated 12/1987, the 5000 is dated 9/1990. I can "guess" by the extra features and buttons, slight extra weight possibly that the 5300 is the top of the line, but it seems older too. Can anyone tell me which...

    White noise in NAD 7140 phono - transistors?

    Finished recapping the NAD 7140 with great results - POWER and dead quiet floor in the main amp, Problem is, phono preamp generates white noise by itself, no input, and I'm having trouble identifying replacement transistors. Any ideas? Thanks so much!
