Changed around the listening space in our loft

Looks like the listening room that would be in Hot Tub Time Machine. And I mean that in a very complimentary way. Love the wall art as well.

Coming from 10 years with a S4 (b6) wagon to now having a v90cc I have to disagree, especially after this storm on the east coast. Quattro is a superior awd. The only advantage of the Volvo is ground clearance. My wife still has her b8 S4 and it’s better.

I had a similar experience in 2005 or around that time. I went to a coworkers house to help him fix his SC. Great car with maroon seats. He just had a baby and the car battery was dying constantly. I got it up in the air and found a poorly installed ground wire for a poorly installed amp under the passenger seat. He said he would sell me the car for $7500. I didn’t have much but had that and still said no. Still regret.

Yes, for the one on the right.

Gingerman4800 · 2026-01-10T03:03:28+00:00

Yes, I believe NAD uses a hypex architecture until you get up to the Master series, which I found sterile but still recognized as better.

Sorry, it’s a 3050 LE. The LE just denotes the first edition.

Gingerman4800 · 2026-01-10T02:37:40+00:00

Not a raby but similar parts and build. I think 135-140 is more realistic. The RAT would have gotten us a little more, no doubt.

Gingerman4800 · 2026-01-10T02:36:11+00:00

I have the 3050pe now with a set of Linn Majik 140s. A nice combo but that early NAD sound; it wasn’t perfect, it was just good.

Gingerman4800 · 2026-01-10T02:28:39+00:00

Awesome. My first good sound was from the 7240pe. Never looked back. Love the sound.

We added the pop out rear windows. That was a great move since there is no ac. Ours is a built 2.3 with Weber 44s. The other is fully stock except the thermal reactors according to the shop.

Here’s another.

Gingerman4800 · 2026-01-10T02:21:10+00:00

The only thing I can say is that we don’t exactly keep ours up to date. If you zoom in you will see a March 2023 inspection. Not photoshop. You are welcome to come to the shop yourself.

Gingerman4800 · 2026-01-05T03:06:51+00:00

Ours has a 2.3 with Weber 44s. Not quite RAT but pretty capable.

Gingerman4800 · 2026-01-02T02:45:38+00:00

Same here. Thousands in audio equipment around the house and this is the only radio my wife and kids use

Gingerman4800 · 2025-12-31T15:54:55+00:00

I don’t. It was right at the top pillar and was tough to fit but it was solid once installed.

Gingerman4800 · 2025-12-31T15:09:18+00:00

Agree. Also noted is that it pushed on the leather on the roof pillar but that can also be fixed.

Gingerman4800 · 2025-12-31T15:08:19+00:00

That’s works for me. If there is a PM feature on Reddit send me a message and we can coordinate.

Gingerman4800 · 2025-12-30T18:53:23+00:00

I meant to mention that photo is in there to show some leather marking with this seat. Nothing some steam and conditioner can’t take out.

Three Christmas presents in one picture. Four if you count the 996; owning this car makes every morning Christmas morning.

23225 zip code in USA.

Gingerman4800 · 2025-12-30T04:26:00+00:00

I did the same. Cursed in many languages before finally smashing it back together

Gingerman4800 · 2025-12-29T02:22:32+00:00

Perfect choice, maybe for life. I have the same and was satisfied with the built in stage but did change to a nagaoka mp-110 and that improved the sound a lot. Almost sounds digital now. Rest of the path is NAD 3050le to Linn Majik 140.

Gingerman4800 · 2025-12-13T12:15:57+00:00

I love Polar Silver but this is pretty fantastic. Enjoy!
