This would replace my Technics. Love the looks.

it seems a decrease in quality and a big one, from ok to very cheap quality and i do like NAD as a brand since the 70´s, but this is very ...cheap?don´t even know how to describe it, less everything

About not a turntable brand, i think i remenber them having good turntables but might be from a lot of years ago, i´m going to check it

In 1980 NAD had a turntable told to be a poor building construction(what would they say if they could see the new things being sold) but acurate in sound as in 86 there was another model with a very out of the ordinary arm, but always refered as good in output sound both were much better than the new NAD turntable, check on line catalogs
 
I know you always recommend old stuff but I am interested in this new(er) NAD
i have not anything to do with the choice of turntables, i can only say that i bought three new turntables in the 80´s and one in the 90´s ,

all were good but none works today ,i already bought a new one recently , but the 70´s ones sound like top quality and never needed repairs ,only done the mandatory maintenance,

now that my father died some years ago, i have even more but again the 70´s ones seem to work perfect and other 80´s and 90´s models that were great ,none works, all were taken care of, like most of the people wouldn´t do, or open the manual ,as second a friend of mine, "all are the same" only they aren´t,

I really like NAD, even two weeks ago i went to get a 77 receiver , the 7030 a low power receiver but sounds great,

i think i also have a NAD turntable(a 70´s one), i´m looking for it, in the 80´s there was a litle integrated amplifier that in a different way from usual you could connect a very simple amplifier where the left speaker is connected to the integrated amplifier and the right to the power amplifier, i think i never seen other like this. Only, i could be wrong,

about the new NAD i look into it´s way of working and notice that couldn´t be more simpler, it as anti-skating and weight ,also a engine and a nice platter ,instead of a full aluminium block as a Rega type thing and in Photos looks modern, i like modern turntables like the Rega P10 and the Goldnote Bellagio ,

and love the Burmester turntable(217?) with everything needed for a perfect performance, don´t hear much about them, i only discovered this while driving my father last diesel mercedes as it said in the tweeters, this beautifull brand

i could even go far and if i had more money i would buy the all Nagra aniversary edition system, a bit expensive but it would improve my listening experience with some Focal Utopia Grande speakers, if needed a bit more amplified , i keep remenbering the JBL 67000, somehow makes me remenber the 70´s with a improved design, let´s see what the future brings.
