NAD C 🎧 316BEE Integrated Amplifier with Phonograph Review

Not having the hearing of a music lover, I chose this amplifier of the initial Hi-Fi level because of its moderate dimensions compared to analogues at the lowest price, taking into account the reputation of the manufacturer. The amplifier is loaded on top class Soviet speakers. At the entrance is a Marantz CD player, a Yamaha player and a TV set via a DAC. Unfortunately, I don’t use a vinyl player anymore and I won’t say anything about the quality of the amplification at the phono input…

this is the best sounding amp i have ever had. I've had a number of "receivers" over the years, but this is my first integrated amplifier. I needed something that could drive my 1961 EMI DLS529 4 ohm speakers. This amp has to deal with complex impedance settings and copes well with my 40 ohm speakers. 40 watts per side is more than enough for my average sized room. Better still, the amp boosts the output to 100 watts for a short period of time, making the music sound energetic and alive. This…

I was really impressed with the sound quality of the unit but my complaint was that the volume control is not very accurate, if I gently press the remote up or down the volume mutes or gets a little louder and I couldn't find the volume I was looking for so I had to adjust the volume manually but even when I do it manually the volume control is too sensitive and it was difficult to find the perfect volume as you hardly touch it and it either goes by loud or soft. I never had to turn the volume…

I use this stereo amplifier for my outdoor speakers (4 Definitive Technology AW6500 speakers). This amp is rated at 40 watts but replaces an old Sony stereo receiver rated at 50 watts per channel and is much louder. If I turn it on more than 1/2 it literally shakes the house! I also like that it has rotary bass and treble controls. I am currently using three of the 5 rear inputs and the buttons make source selection very easy. I also used the mini jack input on the front panel and it works…

I just got this and I have to say wow! It's better than my NADC325BEE. Very detailed, musical and best sound stage. It also has better channel separation. The 325bee has better bass, but that's about it. I wasn't expecting much since it was cheaper and had a lower power rating than the 325bee, but you never know because NAD is pretty conservative in their ratings. It also uses a power drive from the top of the line. The M Series makes a big difference. I have an Emotica PT100 and XPA 200 combo…

Just arrived today. Like virtually everyone else, I am very pleased with the sheer power and superb tone of this amp. I bought this set with the KEF Q100 speakers and I think the combination is superb: superb clarity, amazing midrange punch and very tight bass beyond the limits of this setup. Streaming Tidal Masters, CDs and vinyl sounds great so I think this will meet the needs of most buyers looking for a fantastic inexpensive analogue connected amplifier. I considered the Onkyo A-9010 for…
