[Solved] Any experience with Nady products? Looking at HPA-8 headphone amp...

I'm looking for feedback on Nady Systems/Nady Audio products, positive or negative. Their HPA-8 headphone amp looks like a perfect match for my Tascam US-16x08. Thanks in advance!

    I bought a Nady PA system. One of those 8 channel portable units with wheels and a handle that you can walk around like luggage. It's ok. Nothing to brag about. Serves the purpose if I need an amp when I play out which is very seldom. I break it out every year for a Valentines day banquet, hook my ipad into it and the dancin' begins. The cooling fan in it is LOUD. 
    Nady= mostly low end stuff that is passable if you don't compare it with too many other things. :)
    I'm sure the headphone amp will probably work, but the amps will likely have a lot of audible distortion.

    My only experience with Nady products was a wireless Mic i bought in a pinch (plug in module and Rxvr).    I could spit further than that thing would transmit reliably.  ( Not that I expected it to even begin to compare to my Lectrosonics, Shure, or Audio Technica mics ) but i needed another mic in a hurry. 
     
    I will admit, I did expect more than "totally Useless".   A total joke.
     
    Just my personal experience.

    this isn't nearly as cheap as the Nady, but I believe you get what you pay for.
     
    this is the unit I use and I I love it!

    also, I just got a 20% off coupon in email from MF.  don't know how many people it went out to, tho, but 20% off of $149 is a steal for this unit (costs $199 at sweetwater - and I love sweetwater!)
