Hi JT Clark. Yes I did see your comments. I read the entire section. I was just surprised that I didn't find more than a handful of happy comments.
So far, I suspect I am noticing better dynamics, louder bass, and an overall punchy-like quality that I didn't have before. Of course I really won't know until I try the NAD again during next week. I know for sure I can turn up the volume more - which is nice.
