    Are NAD PE Models Class G?

    Novice question here. Are NAD PE units class G? A very knowlegable fellow in my neck of the woods commented on my ongoing quest for synergy leading to best soundstage. The topic was initially a NAD 7240 PE and its rather flat, almost painted on the back wall soundstage. His comment was as...

    Does NAD Gear Lack Soundstage?

    Serious question. Before we start, yes, speakers are in phase. In each scenerio. There's quite a bit of NAD gear in my area at relatively very affordable prices and thought I'd finally experience the sound for myself. A few years ago I picked up a 7140PE. Very rich sound, great highs, good...

    Here's a speaker Ohms question that might not have been asked

    I am playing around with (comparing) receivers and speakers that I have accumulated. The last find was a NAD amp model C372, with a separate NAD tuner, and a pair of wall mount Vienna Acoustics Waltz Grand speakers. Amp and speakers rated at 4 Ohms. It does not sound good; weak and flat. Pretty...

    NAD 326BEE amp problem

    Hello, I have a 326BEE with a problem that's proving pretty difficult to pin down. The first thing I noticed a little pop from the unit and the left channel went out. The only damaged component I could find was R250, which looked like it had blown, but was maybe just scortched and was still...

    NAD 7020 Distorting - Earthing / Grounding Question

    Hello everyone at AK and thank you all for this great resource (that I often spend many hours studying). Summary: On this unwell 7020 I am seeing 9V DC between power supply filter cap ground and chassis earth/ground. Is this normal? This chassis is earthed to the mains lead and the wiring and...

    NAD C315BEE Protection at about 1/4 Volume

    Need Help with NAD C315BEE Protection This amp goes into protection when I adjust volume to 1/4 to 1/2 full, with input of 1kHz sinewave at 2 Vp-p. Output offsets are less than 10mV and output is a clean sinewave. With no input I can go full volume without a protection kicking in. Tried with...

    NAD 214 Troubleshooting

    I’ve been restoring a NAD 214 power amp with my 9 yo son for a fun learning project. He’s been doing great with soldering and staying interested. Initial symptoms were: unit powers on, soft clipping light stays on, no relay click. Front lights stayed on even after unplugging the unit suggesting...

    NAD 7250PE intermittent noise on one channel

    I just got an additional set of speakers and took my 7250PE out of the closet and hooked it up, using just the power amp section. It sounds great, except for regular intermittent noises in the left channel. It sounds like a kind of rushing sound. Before I dig into it, is there anything I should...

    Marantz 2230B with NAD CD Player Doesn't Sound right

    Hey there, Recently bought a NAD C538 CD player and hooked up to my Marantz 2230B that I've been using for last 10 years. Tried the Aux and both Tape Inputs. All of them sounded fine until the bass kicked in and is distorted and blown out on majority of CDs (it's not a speaker issue either...

    NAD 2700 Relay Help

    I have a NAD 2700 and I heard the output relays go in these? I cleaned the pots with Deoxit but at lower volume it occasionally has a bit of static. Loud appears fine and no scratch when turning knobs. Could this be bad relays? Would these work...

    NAD Power Amplifiers, which to get (calling NAD enthusiasts)

    Looking for a used power amplifier. I am currently using a Linn LK85 but my speakers are a bit bright so I think a 80s-era NAD is a good bet. I have seen 2140/2150 for around £150 and 2100 for £255. There is also a C268 for £325 but this is a 2020s Class D amp so probably not as warm but...

    Unusual question about a Marantz 2235b used as a preamp

    Hello, Long time since I've posted here. I use a Marantz 2235b as a preamp going into a Carver M500-t power amp and it just sounds wonderful. However I decided I want a remote for volume, so I bought a Nad C162 preamplifier with a remote to use instead of the Marantz. Works ok but it just...

    Help! NAD receiver only decodes at 2 channels

    I have a (somewhat dated) NAD T748 7.1 receiver. I have it set up for 7.1 but when I play anything from my Roku, the front panel reads "D 2/0.0 48k PLIIx Movie". I assume this means it is decoding a basic 2-channel signal and applying some generic surroundy-magic to make it sound sorta like...
