New Preamp question
Hi, thanks for taking a look at this thread. I have just purchased a NAD 1300 preamp that is supposed to have never been out of the original box prior to testing before the sale. I am very excited as the seller has a great reputation. I plan to couple it with my NAD 2600A power amp which together I think will have a great sound for a low budget. I am to date a big fan of the older NAD as the modern equipment to better the performance is far more costly. Anyway, my question.
I have no idea when it comes to evaluating specifications to know if the component is able to deliver good sound. These are the specifications for the NAD 1300, any thoughts on the stated performance would be appreciated. Thanks.

very good combination
hi
i have used 1300 with NAD 2400thx and these pre amps are very good in delivering the mids and highs, though the lows are good i would not appreciate it very much.But Nad sticks to its neutral sound , and u will love it if u have a very good speakers.
great equipment ...have fun.
dev :p

Thanks dev, I think the combination will be nice. My speakers are decent enough for me at this time, Energy C5s. I think the speakers are a little overpowered by the amp, I would like the C9 with this amp. Still, I'm not flush with cash so I will enjoy what I have. Thanks again.

I'm don't know about the specs but I do know any new equipment is a good thing!
