No idea what’s been going on for the last few days, another new-looking piece of semi-respectable audio gear. NAD has a decent reputation, I don’t quite see it but for 23$, meh.
Another bookend. Soon my Kallax will collapse like those pictures of Kallaxes overloaded with vinyls.
It’s in mint condition, the inside looks new, like not even a speck of dust. NAD had this odd fetish of backlighting their displays with incandescent lightbulbs, that look like Maglite bulbs, soldered to a board that overheats. The board looks new and the bulbs as well. No smoky insides.
For a manufacture year of 1999, that’s quite an interesting design choice.
I didn’t even bother plugging it in yet, even I, Certified Master Hoarder, didn’t have a CD on hand and there’s no headphone jack anyway.

Looks like finding near new-looking junk isn’t that hard.
