Review 1 of 31

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
My c372 went up in smoke 6 months after the warrenty expired. Not good for an amp of this supposed quality and price. Nad did repair it free of charge. When I got it back I found it had also destroyed my new ($1800) speakers. The damage to the speakers was not covered by the speaker warrenty. Less than a year later the amp has again has gone up in smoke. It has never been abused driven hard or abused in anyway at all. If I have to pay to get it repared this time I will choose to buy anpther brand.

Review 2 of 31

Price Paid:  $1400.00 from Sydney

Summary:
Just want to add that Iin Oct 2008, my 4-year old 372 'blew up' late one night after having been left on at low volume (1/4 on the dial). No problem - I took it in to the NAD agents (Sydney, Australia) and they were most sympathetic and helpful, obviously recognising the issue. I had thought that they would knock me back due to being out of warranty, but no, the amp was repaired the same day at no cost. Of course it is part of the well known syndrome affecting some of these amps, but all credit to NAD for responding so rapidly to defuse what could have been an unpleasant situation as I wasn't going to slink away without putting up a decent fight. Importantly, the ventilation around my amp is more than adequate (4 years later!) so the problem had to be with the machine. I have owned NAD eqpt all my life really, starting with a 3020 and will continue to do so. Just a qucik remark on performance of the 372: I have always been happy with the 372 but a tad disappointed with the bass reproduction - now that it has a new power board and other gizmos (I am no audio-nut) it is performing better than ever and I am absolutely thrilled with the smoother, meatier, more sensual and tighter way in which the bass is handled by my Krix Euphonix floor-standing speakers in a bright, small room. A happy and relieved customer indeed.

Strengths:
power, mid-range, price

Weaknesses:
volume control

Summary:
Had this amplifier fiour about 4 days for testing from the local dealer.I must say i agreee with some of the guys on audioreview.Something is totally wrong with this amplifier.It has a huge lack of bass and the sound image is very blurr and unclear.I now own the c355bee wich as power is much weaker than the c372 and surprisingly better sounding and seems more powerfull.Also the tone controls are practically usless.Hope Nad will see the problems on the c372 .(every brand has it's ups and downs )

Strengths:
Great Build

Weaknesses:
Lack of bass,very unclear sound,just not ok

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
