If you are coming in at around $700.00US you might consider starting out with just a preamp (with phono) and continue to use the NAD power amp. You may be able to pick up a nice used tube Conrad Johnson pre with phono at that price.
Wanting to uppgrade old NAD preamp/amp
There's so much out there! Any response would be useful, my goal is to up grade my old NAD pre-amp/ 2155 amp setup with a entry level price integtated or pre/amp set-up. Does any one have any personal feedback on mfg's to look at ( under $1000 cdn ). I have B&W speakers and Cambridge Audio D500 CD player, Rega 3 table/Linn K3, but need new power!
