[QUOTE="Daniel Weston, post: 40339, member: 620"] Ok then! I went and picked up my NAD 317 amp tonight and it is in excellent condition, boxed with manual and remote and whilst I think that I paid a premium for it at R3000, the overall condition is worth it imo. Had an awesome hour with Raj whilst he played a series of cd's on his main system. From what I remember, he has Dynaudio floorstanders, two Bryston 500w monoblocks?, Sony SACD, DAC plus a nice looking Italian pre-amp of some sorts. Excellent sound and definitely something to aspire to! What a nice guy too! Anyway, I have hooked up the 317 to my i pod and it's actually disgusting how poor the quality of downloaded music is :o I then hooked up the laptop via the headphones jack and whilst ripped music from cd sounded better, it's difficult to get the volume right as you have to fiddle with both settings on the laptop and the amplifer. Anyway, will play around some more tomorrow! The only spanner thrown in the proverbial works is that he also has a boxed NAD C540 that I can have for R1000- maybe a good match for the 317, who knows? Anyway, thanks for all the advice over the past week. Daniel [/QUOTE]
