Can you compare NAD C370 with Portal Panache Int.

If you are familiar with both the Portal Panache Integrated and the NAD C370 Integrated I would welcome your comments. Would an upgrade to the Panache be worthwhile?

My speakers are the Celestion A3 full range, 4 Ohm, 90 db sensitive (wonderful by the way), room is smallish 13 by 12, low to medium listening levels so low level dynamics and fullness important. I have used passive pre's in the past and generally like them when properly set up (latest was a McCormack DNA 0.5 Deluxe and Luminus axiom passive pre also wonderful but only one input). I like the NAD except I hear a low level 60 Hz hum coming from the unit even when standing a few feet away when no music is playing and it bugs me (I leave my system powered up all the time).

Thx

I owned the NAD C352 shortly after the Portal Panache. Absolutely loved the Portal, but could not live without remote control. Thought the NAD was very good for the money, except for the course volume control via remote.
If remote is of no concern I'd say go for the Portal Panache.
