You live in Central NC, don't you?

Personally I'd work the NAD 7130 down to $40 or less and get that as long as it's fully functional. You won't see a lot of real deals last long on the Raleigh CL, since there's a bunch of AKer's loitering around the local CL, myself included...

However, if you're looking for something in particular, PM me, HomerJSimpson, or Macaltec, and between us, we have just about anything you might want within reason....:thmbsp: Personally, I have more than enough small receivers, including a couple of NADs...

No real bargains there. The Carver is not TOTL and even the TOTL HR-772 is not that impressive. Maybe the NAD 7130 is worth it but it better work and not run hot.

The NAD 7130 has a really good power amp section. The only one I've ever had to work on simply required switch/pot cleaning. Testing it after cleaning I was pleasantly surprised by the sound, and I own a good amount of vintage NAD gear. Oh yeah, ditch the original pre-out/main-in jumpers and use a short interconnect. Improves the sound a LOT!
