One thing that seems to be consistently overlooked is that most (if not
all) of the common/popular Japanese 'midfi' names like Technics, Pioneer,
Rotel, Sony (et al) performed solidly for *decades* with little more
problem than the occasional noisy switch/lever which, I suspect, was down
to lack of use and is fairly easily sortable in any case....??

Many modern makes (includes NAD, for instance) simply can not claim the
same long-term reliability, it seems and I'm pretty certain the current
cheap, Chinese stuff won't prove to have the legs for the long distance
either, but that's just a guess....

Are replacement remote controls easily available for current models?
They wear out pretty quickly so having a spare or two could treble the
life of your equipment. I suppose the same goes for potentiometers in
non-standard sizes.

The NAD HTR-2 Remote Control is able to handle all Cambridge RC functions
(and other brands as well). At least this was what they told me in de shop.
