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.

Unfortunately you need to have no life to pull this off, you have to hit up these places on the regular, as there are other vultures and seagulls circling over the shiny stuff.

I'm not in a rush for anything. I'll just look from time to time and see if I get lucky.
