Perhaps personal preference is at play. I have been doing Deezer Premium, Tidal since 2015. Prefer the latter. For me more presence, more musical and more detail.

Perhaps Jerome Pahl at Epiphany JHB as he was the importer for these when current and Epiphany I think is the current importer.

Fortunately it is a choice as Dirac is a choice. Don't like. Pass. Those that considers MQA as 'bad, 'had its time' etc, a quick search on google will reveal that the world's current top 5 music recording artists with 25 million followers 'tracking' them, have their music released with MQA. Of...

Sadly, despite what many music lovers hope their AVRs can do, they simply cannot! Not even the specialist audio AVRs from brands such as Anthem, Arcam and NAD can match the STEREO sound produced by an original NAD 3020 or even it's current variant the D3020V2. That is, if one's call is to get to...

I saw one on display, probably sold by now.

Yes, so true! As to speakers that can be used with the M33. I know of a user in Sasolburg that acquired an M33 to drive a pair of upmarket Martin Logan ESLs and was over the moon with the performance of the system

I concur with Ken that a problem room is a problem room. In fact as per the following speaker designers Paul Barton of PSB and Peter J Comeau ex Heybrook now all the speaker brands of IAG and Anton Aebischer of Rowen in Switzerland, all with whom I had chats, concur that apart from the goal of a...

MC Electronics Brackenfell is the best bet. Gavin Hansen basically is not doing AVR's any more and Celestial Sounds, Leander neither. MCE as appointed NAD service agent for WC are most experienced at the moment

Whoa. The fact that one has had a bad experience with WBC, does not mean that it applies to all. Why so many times simply bad mouth an entity or person? State the facts and let who ever reads it, decide I have only had great dealings with them. Bought a 2013 Mini Cooper, enjoyed it for a year...

Clive, slight correction required. I think we are getting old... Hi-fi Installations Pta who was the agents for AR and also the first agent for NAD, in SA, who did distribution and hence supplied the various Hifi Installation stores and other dealers, lost the AR agency mid 1985 and only then...

Have dealt with him many times. My experience is that he runs a clean business. No shenanigans of consignment stock etc. what he sells is his. As to selling stuff @ 2 to 3 x of what he pays... Sound a bit farfetched, unless the sellers gave the stuff away. If he picks something up at a bargain...

Re member Naks being lucky - again you are rather sparse with the truth - Perhaps you should verify the facts with him. My understanding is that his first unit was an ex dealer demo Gen 1 T777 that was about 4-5 years old, to which new MDC boards were fitted to bring it to V3 status. In the...

Thank for your more comprehensive reply. No comment though on the fact that according to Trompie 67 your T778 gave problems only after 5 months and the possibility that it may not have been a manufacturing defect? In my initial 'proposal/discussion' I suggested to the OP that he should aquire...

I did state that Drifter is entitled to his opinion. My understanding, last time I saw was that member @naks is entirely happy. Yes there were issues with NAD AVR's many years ago - about 20 years. The current products though, the issues are well within the industry norm. As per your own...

Drifter, you are entitled to your opinion. Must say that your piece sounds a bit "Zuma / Mpofu / Mkwewane -ish" as to ' 'íssues' and local NAD Support - lots of noise and accusations. Yours were perhaps an unfortunate case. There are many happy NAD T778 users and AV Imports clients out...

Different strokes for different okes it seems to me then. Re speaker upgrade - for me the intrinsic difference in the tonal balance between the MA's vs B&Ws, especially used on the existing Denon AVR, with a leaner sound will probably be a step backward. Having perused the Stereophile review and...

Have dealt with Michael & Sharon a few times selling stuff to them. No issues encountered. They NOT keep consignment stock or sell on behalf. The stock they have has been bought and paid for Perhaps part of the mixed feedback is that when it comes to buying, from experience, they know what the...

Nope

I'm not sure whether your PN setup is correct. The music service you use i.e.Tidal, Deezer etc should be activated under the music services tab on the app. Tidal will then show as one of the sources - Bluetooth, Tidal, Tune in, Radio Paradise etc. Perhaps you should Schalk @ the agents on Monday...
