    Default Hello again. I hope everyone is well.

    Well it’s been a while since I was last here, so I just wanted to say hello.

    Unfortunately, work and family complications (mostly now back on a even keel) have kept audio enjoyment to marginal time (and money) only.

    I’m trying to make a bit more time for it and just wanted to see how you lot are doing.

    Looking forward to getting back into the discussion.

    All the best

    Steve

    I certainly plan to! ��

    Current audio dilemma is that my NAD M2 has packed up and is with Sevenoaks for an attempted repair, which not looking good at the moment.

    If it turns into a £5k brick after only 7 years of ownership, I will be gutted.

    Already looking around for backup options.

    Hi Steve

    Good to 'see' you here again.

    Sorry to hear about your NAD. Bummer. Hope it works out.

    Hi Steve, good to see you back.

    I'm sure the NAD can be fixed, if Sevenoaks can't do it there will be someone who can.
