Lenbrook Previews NAD M10 Hi-Res Streamer to NY Press

June 20, 2019 by Ted Leave a Comment

Lenbrook's Greg Stidsen presenting the NAD M10 BluOS Streaming Amplifier

On Tuesday, Lenbrook invited members of the media to an “intimate album listening party” in Manhattan’s trendy Soho district.

Maybe a strong enough draw to entice an editor from New Jersey into Manhattan in the traffic and the rain!

But this listening party turned out to be a bit of a preview opportunity for an interesting and relatively new product – a streaming amplifier. And not just any streaming amplifier, mind you – but a streaming amplifier being launched in the NAD Master series. That got my attention…

Nielsen logoWe live in a time rich in options for ways to connect with and consume content.
