Stay away from the nad

Had same experience with Nad 955 amp. Looking at repair and upgrade costs, I simply decided to retire them. Realized how sterile and cold NAD sounds when I replaced T175 and t 955 with a single Marantz Sr 6011. My JMLab Cobalts are singing again. Major mistake going NAD. Stear clear.  Peace.

I have had three NAD integrated amps, one NAD pre-amp, and two NAD CD players for years.  The only problem I've ever had is that one of the CD players does not turn off, so I hooked it up to a circuit breaker.  In my experience, NAD components are reliable, affordable, and sound good.

NAD is hit or miss. Not worth it

"I call it disposal electronics. I mentioned C275 and two C356's, but I forgot to mention M3 on which display went dead (but it did work)."

I'm sure it's frustrating, but why keep buying them if they keep breaking? At some point it's on you, no?

The NAD gear I have owned over the years has been fine.  They do seem to have a checkered past regarding reliability however.  Suspect it relate to little direct control over quality.
