NAD?
I'm sure you guys have heard of NAD stereo equipment? Well, what kind of equipment is it, exactly? Pretty good stuff? I'm not looking at purchasing thousands of dollars worth of equipment, however, I

Wiring layout and quality
Hello, Much of the consumer equipment contains a mare's nest of thin wires. Alternatively, military electonics and certain audio manufacturers are very careful about wiring with very neat bundles.

Re: SAE 02 Series
Thanks guys. I think I'm going to go ahead and purchase an SAE "02" series (not all at once, of course). I found a rather nice looking T102 on E-bay ( http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?

Re: SAE 02 Series
Dear Kenny, Actually, the "02" series were pretty decent. I have the schematics for some of them and I have tested some of them. Pretty decent for the money. The tuner (T101) is probably the best

Re: SAE 02 Series
Dear Kenny, I guess I wasn't clear and I left out the following. There are (2) lines that were supplied by SAE. The units you refer to I believe were the last of the units that were made here. Since I

Re: SAE 02 Series
Jeff: This is correct. Forgive me for not making that clear in the original post. I should have said "Computer Direct-Line." I am sorry. I am aware that the SAE TWO equipment is garbage (I personally

Re: SAE 02 Series
Kenny- I sense some confusion here. I think maybe James is referring to the "SAE TWO" equipment and you are referring to SAE's "02" series of their "Computer Direct Line" equipment. I could be wrong.

Re: SAE 02 Series
Please forgive me here if I may sound a little "ignorant" of this subject. I am now aware to stear clear of the SAE II series, and I thank you for that. You said the T102 was made here in the states.

Re: SAE 02 Series
Dear Kenny, I will try to answer your questions. Since I was the Director of Engineering at SAE in the "Golden Years" I think I know more about the products than anyone. First of all, DO NOT consider

SAE 02 Series
In deciding to put together an older stereo system, I went to research. Having never heard of SAE...I have learned a lot about the company in the last few weeks. However, I have FAR too much left to

Re: ATI grapevine
Dear Luther, I hate to rain on anyone's parade however, these kinds of protection circuits are very passe'. The reason being is that they are still either current sensing or volt-amp sensing. What

Re: Thaedra -- very quiet
Dear Paul, I'm glad that you are happy with the Thaedra. Would you believe that my upgrade reduces the noise a little bit more. And also, the THD is reduced by a factor of 5 or more. The upgraded line

Thaedra -- very quiet
Hello, Another great quality about the Thaedra is that it is exceptionally quiet. Despite the noise figures given for vintage transistor equipment there is almost always a certain level of hiss that

A little info I thought some of you would think of interest. I was talking with Morris Kessler today about an amp I saw last March in the design stage at ATI. It is a multi channel amp for home

Re: SAE 4000
Dear Bob, All of the controls in the SAE gear were made by various Japanese manufacturers such as Noble. However, I'm positive that they have long ceased making these parts. For the last several
