This was back in the mid to late 1980's.
My system was an NAD CD player (model 5355 if I remember correctly,) with a NYAL "Minuet in A" preamp. This fed into an NAD 2200 PE amplifier. I bypassed the 2200's output relays (because they were getting "iffy") and soldered some speaker cable directly from the output traces to my Dali 8 loudspeakers.
Some of it was probably the almost ideal room dimensions & treatment, but some of it was certainly the equipment involved. Simply said? That was right up there with the most dynamic, detailed, involving systems I have EVER heard at any price. My friend used to drag one or more of his speakers (Some Monitor Audio jobbies, or some Audio Concepts Concert Monitor 12), and/or his nice Luxman receiver to swap out. The original setup was always best - and it seemed like the NYAL preamp was the biggest key in the system.
