Just picked up NAD legendary 3140 today for $75. the innards
 

 
As far as I know, in all NAD components only x140 and x150 lines have twin mono design.

My dead 3155 has 1 transformer.  Looks very similar otherwise.  It died when I took it to a meet.

How? Beer bathing??

No idea.  It was working at the meet and when I got home, the right channel was completely dead, all inputs and all outputs.

My first post....been lurking for awhile.
 
I run a 2011 Mac mini into a HRT MSII+ > Marantz 2220 that has been recapped and LED upgraded. Not in the picture is a Dual 2019 and speakers are Paradigm Atoms, v.6's. I have an Asgard on the way and currently use Grado SR80i's....but toying with a few others.
 
Freakin love the Marantz....20W at 40% volume it's almost too much...no clipping at all.

Welcome! Nice setup!
 
Do you think SR-60i benefits from amping?

 

[ardgedee]

I had a SR-60 in the mid-90s. It definitely benefited from plugging it into a NAD receiver rather than the computer's headphone jack.
 
Can't even remember the model of the receiver because I didn't have it for long. I accidentally fried it by wiring a headphone jack to the speaker taps to see how the SR-60 would sound there (answer: much better, but the amp noise was excessive, and then it died). Still feel bad about that.

Did you get some of the magic smoke? I've let the smoke out of a few different electronics. Funny thing about that is it never quite goes back in.

My small humble collection, junior amps and receiver, marantz 2226 and sansui au 101
IMHO, marantz sounds more crisp and nice low whereas sansui sounds warm and sweet.

Nice!  What little speaker is that?
