I happened to come upon an old NAD 7130 reciever today. Long since past prime, I quickly hooked it up just to see how it sounds. I used my pc as a source, and a fairly crappy 1/8-to-3.5 RCA to connect it to the "CD" input on the amp. I used my Grados as the testing devices.
What came out was not to my liking; barely audible, and with a decent amount of amp-noise (although that was most likely due to my having the volume up all the way trying to hear it). I have read people complaining about this before, although have not heard anything as to what it may be. I played with all the settings that were easily set, and nothing helped. I am a newbie to full sized equipment, which probably explains my naivette, but also means I need some help here, since my asinine current setup really isn't cutting it.
Anyone have any ideas?
