I met Martin Borish back in Wharfedale days - he was visiting Cambridge Audio, which we were in the process of acquiring from the receiver. I think the undercurrent was he was trying to sell NAD, something he didn't succeed in for another 7 or 8 years.

I had no idea what NAD stood for, so I asked him "dead simple - New Acoustic Dimension".
