RTTR Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I had bend over backwards to get some answers out of the place I ordered my NAD C542 CD player from but it finally came today. I'm never again ordering from Harvey Electronics in NY, they may be NAD Authorized but I guess that means nothing in terms of customer service. Now just to wait for my line conditioner to come (from another place) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTTR Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 Without a doubt I can tell a huge difference over my previous source which was my PC with an Audigy 2 sound card. Espesually with HDCD's, but it could be just every other CD player I've heard my HDCD's in sucks compared to this NAD. It's also WAY louder then I'm used to, before it was loud but now it's LOUD, I can't even bare to turn it past 1/4. I have no need to play with the tone controls as well, they will stay flat. I'm listening to some Duran Duran right now, sounds beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 The only good thing about a long wait is when it's over.Looks great,it's always good to get to hear those cd's all over again,enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 RTTR Glad to hear you waited for your NAD even if the supplier was a PITA. Nice to hear that you heard the improvement in the sound as expected. Still happy with mine. Norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTTR Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 my NAD dealer never had an issue, super fast shipper http://www.amsound2.com/ congrats its a nice cd player Ouch, that link you gave is an unauthorized NAD dealer, with a 1.8 out of 10 store rating, I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole, I paid the extra to have a warranty. Their NAD stuff is most likely B-Stock / Refurbished The reason I know they are unauthorized is I asked NAD Customer Support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
