What is stereo?




There are now two system of high fidelity, monophonic (monaural) and stereophonic. Monophonic is a system that starts from one microphone and is fed through a single high fidelity set. Stereophonic is a double system. Two separate microphones are placed at different sides of the orchestra and two different systems are used to keep the two signals or channels separated. Two separate speakers are used, placed on different sides of you room. Stereo is much like 3-D photography, two slightly different sound reach your ears giving you a new dimension in sound.

NAD 5420

 Compact Disc Player
Balanced MASH One-Bit High Resolution Digital to Analogue Converter:
With CD players utilizing MASH or other one bit technologies, our engineers have found that what really makes the difference in their performance is the care taken in power supply design,, PCB layout, grouding, and selection of analog circuit components
Circuit Simplicity:
Many CD players are "over-designed" with unnecessary stages of analog circuitry that sacrifice transparency and subtle detail. NAD players have just three wide-band analog circuits and only one coupling capacitor in the signal path (bypassed by a low loss film capacitor), thus preserving the emotional detail of the original performance.

Plays 3-inch disc without adaptor
16 tracks programmable
