| Current NAD integrated amps, what are your impressions? This confirms my impressions with them as well. I was thinking of buying another refurb from them, but a NIB was being offered by another seller, and I guess I offered too much, they accepted. I've only just received the PS Audio AC 5, and tried... | |
| Current NAD integrated amps, what are your impressions? Ah nuts. I had to return the 375(bought it used from a retailer selling on Audiogon) because it turned out to be several years old. I'm back on the prowl for a mint used one. Anyone try Spearit sound? | |
| Current NAD integrated amps, what are your impressions? I recently took ownership of a C375BEE to feed this weird Nad addiction I’ve developed. I can’t compare it to the 326, but in comparison to the 356 there is more refinement, air and another improvement in bass. It’s effortless. I don’t have any sp... | |
| Current NAD integrated amps, what are your impressions? The first thing that struck me about the 356 was the superior bass control. At higher volumes the sound remains clear when the 326 starts to get congested. I haven't had the 326 for about 2 months now so I can't add too much to what I said, but ... | |
| Current NAD integrated amps, what are your impressions? Interesting. So I'm getting a C375BEE now( I just had to collect the whole set!) and it's got 2 pairs of outputs, one with a gain knob. I know it's not quite the same thing as what you've done, Mesch, but using those gained outputs would give mu... | |
| Looking for suggestions on a used amp or new. $2000/ budget It sounds like you only want 3 speakers driven? Or do you have 4 Paradigm S6?Either way, I had the V2 of the S6 and found that Emotiva amps were a bad combination for them as the resulting sound tended to be too bright in my system.I'd suggest Pa... | |
| Old Amp vs. New Amp I should probably qualify my cable comments. Personally I'd never spend $1000 for a cable. I currently have 2 pairs of IC's that cost about $300 for both. My Wireworld speaker cables cost about the same. These both brought improved sonics for ... | |
| Old Amp vs. New Amp Okay, I have no direct experience with those brands you mentioned, but since they are top line brands, I think you'd be pretty safe with them. My own experience with Nad is with the 326 and C356BEE. The 356 is better at higher volumes, but when ... | |
| Is it too bright or is it high resolution? Too bright being high resolution is a generalization. To get high resolution, you need a system where the source and amp can actually reproduce the fine detail, and then speakers that can deliver it as well. Many budget and vintage speakers sim... | |
| Old Amp vs. New Amp Just to make sure, you are talking about amps specifically and not receivers, right? I only ask because I see this become a misunderstanding too often!That said, it all depends on what 90's models you are eyeing, the 90's had big changes as some ... | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings It’s good to hear that $58K amps sound incredible, but at that price, they better. I don’t think that such a price range is really the heart and soul of the market place.People have been starting threads like this, predicting the demise of solid s... | |
| Looking to build a system for under $5k It seems to me that the OP wants to get a good system without having to go through the somewhat lengthy process of educating oneself in audio. And I can sympathize with the reluctance. After all, look at the diverging opinions in this thread alo... | |
| Warm Sounding Preamp Suggestions Interesting, glad to hear you found a solution. | |
| Warm Sounding Preamp Suggestions Did the unit improve on the mids/highs glare as well? | |
| Warm Sounding Preamp Suggestions Parasound p5 and Nad C165BEE are both worth a look for being on the warm side. |
