While my Audilab 8200CD is in for repair, I dug out my old NAD C515 CDP. I then proceeded to listen to it for 3 hours non stop, because it sounded so good! Obviously the most important thing with hifi equipment is that we enjoy listening to it, regardless of reviews, cost etc., but I'm surprised and bemused at finding the NAD so engaging. It makes me wonder if there was more wrong with the Audiolab than just the failed power supply, but it did sound excellent, not just as good as the NAD. I also wonder if I've stumbled apon some synergy in the system with the NAD, Rotel RA1520 amp, and PMC DB1i speakers? Either way, I'll be comparing with the Audiolab when I get it back, but at the moment it looks like I'll be sticking with the NAD.
