Have always heard great things about NAD gear but during my thrift store adventures have not come across any other than a cassette deck. My luck changed the other day when i came across this near mint combo at a local GW. Both the receiver and the CD player seemed a bit on the light side releative to other highly regarded gear I have owned. Took a chance on them anyway and glad I did.

Very balanced sound and the tuner section is unbelievable. My regular listening area has been a challenge for many tuners and receivers over the years but the NAD locks down on the stereo signal and does not let it go. The CD player plays flawlessly and sounds great with my ADS 400's. The ADS are 4ohm and the NAD does not break a sweat powering them.
