BassYerbouti Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Idly surfing while waiting for 5.30 to come and thought I'd find out what these posts about NAD amps were - I have a few NAD hi-fi bits at home and thought 'surely they don't make bass stuff too' - then the penny dropped. what a numpty!

r16ktx Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 "NAD was an abbreviation for New Acoustic Dimension." How it that obvious? I had to look it up (thanks wikipedia) and I've owned a NAD amplifier for over 30 years! Quote

lowdown Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 I thought it meant an Amp that was the dogs b****x. Quote

bonzodog Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 On the basis that NCD also means new cab day, then if i bought a second hand cab and spent 3 days polishing it, would that be OCD day? Quote
PaulWarning Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 arpmo, (acronyms really piss me off) Quote
BassTractor Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Don't forget that second-hand cabs give you Old Cab Day. I have that a lot. Quote
flyfisher Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Being the happy owner of a NAD Hifi amp, the acronym in the basschat context also confused me for a while, especially since it seemed to be used associated with loads of different bass amps, making me wonder if NAD was some sort of mega-corporation that owned a number of companies Quote

jmchich Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 I could only think of No Abnormality Detected... Quote
gelfin Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 When I was in Hi Fi retail many years ago when NAD was at its most popular, customers were often asking what it stood for. I just used to make things up ad lib. Quote
UglyDog Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 So if you bought a new hifi amp and it was a NAD, presumably the day you picked it up would be a NADNAD? Quote
