“Great amplifier. My only complaint is the silly "phono" sticker stuck on the front panel. It;s obvious it has a built in phono preamp. I had to use a heat gun to remove it.”
“Amp is fine but packing below average. The amp box was put in a large box with no packing material. Amp box was banged up in one corner. I will need a new NAD cd player soon but can’t have a delicate cd player packed that way.”
“I purchased this amp to replace an 80s vintage NAD 3240PE integrated amp. I was looking for an analog-only class AB amp without any DAC, since I prefer to have all my sources feed analog to an amp, and DACs are continuing to evolve. Also, I have never been drawn into purchasing super expensive audio gear, although I have owned some nice vintage tube equipment over the years. This amp sounds very nice, like my old NAD, but I am hearing more clarity in the mid and high frequencies, possibly due to aging components in my old amp. It is nice to have the remote, and I like the small size. Records sound great, as does high res digital music from my DAC. Great value in my opinion.”
“Nice little affordable amp, has all the basics and sound/sonics to drive speakers reasonably with some pleasing results, not Krell but well worth it, very pleased with it…”
“Ive alwas had a soft spot for NAD
Amplifiers and been wanting return to the simplicity of an integrated as the heart of my system tired of needeing so many cables
And extra boxes ,one of the things that was important to me was that it has to havea good phono stage something that are an after thought when included in a amp or receiver
The NAD did not disappoint in this area
This is a well designed phono stage and even
Has its own circiut board to isolate it
And performs ad well as phono preamps in the the $200 range , NAD is famous for its
Conservative power ratings and
Cleaver engineering that gives you
Far more power then its specs
Would have you belive don't let
Its 40wpc rating fool you
Its high current power supply
Has planty of reserve power
And can output more then a 100
Wpc peak power when the music needs
It, it's overall sonics is warm
And vary musical , i do not miss my
3 times as costly amp it replaced”
