Picked this up off Reverb after I got a really good offer. Sounds massive but still with a Marshally bite. I had one in white maybe 12 years ago, sold it. Glad to have one back.

KT88’s and also has a Variac mod

Stick a Gup Tech Quebec in the loop. Set the treble on zero and use the presence as your treble control and you will be amazed. Killer amp that often flies under the radar because they can be difficult to dial in. Happy NAD.
 
Nice score.

Looks fantastic in white. I’ve got a single channel version, I just might call them & see if they’ll make me a white headshell for it.

I’ll definitely try that with the treble and presence.

For sure. Never played a Nitro and I don't know waht this Gup Tech thing does but Splawns love Treble on Zero which is so counter intuitive with the amount of bass the Splawns have. I run a volume box and 10b EQ in the loop, Bass on like 10 oclock. SD1 is super sexy. But you know this.

Enjoy!
 
@311boogieman The seller said it is a Kruse Variac he had installed. This was his picture of it. I haven’t messed with it yet, I just set it to 100W.
