I have to agree with all of the above. The NAD is not necessarily better sounding, that's a matter of taste, but it has more power then the Cambridge, which should work well with Quad loudspeakers (good choice!! Lovely looks and great sound.....). Maybe the NAD 352 is better then the C 350, but I think 500 $ is a good price, so if the 352 is more expensive, go for the 350!!
NAD C350 or Cambridge A500?
I can get the:
NAD C350 for $500 CDN
or the
Cambridge A500 for $469 CDN
Will be powering my Quad 21Ls (which I love so very much)
I'll be using my existing DVD player as a transport until I can go with a decent CD Transport (ditched the mass market idea)
Thoughts on these two integrateds in general - I intend to use my integrated as a power amp down the road with a Processor/Receiver - will/should I keep the brand the same for future consideration? (especially with Cambridge not having a processor/receiver [although I heard that around Christmas they will be coming out with a receiver with pre-outs])
Thanks in advance!
