I took my Denon AVR-3806 with the AL24 Processors in it which has been rated as one of the best processors used as a processor and not a receiver and I would have to agree because I have used it both ways. Believe me a good amp will make a big difference compared to the amps in your receiver for better and stronger sound and definition. Anyway I took the Jeffersonville Porta Potty Service

I've found only Wharfedale pacific Pi 10s in this class that have better stereo imaging and convey more excitement, but in terms of midband frequencies 780s are something else. electrical repair

The unit is very straight forward in it's connections and operation. Overall it's a very practical item in it's appearance and function. masonry contractor

Amazed me this preamplifier

Very good in price and detail sound

Quality components inside. Quality PCB. Variable resistors work fine despite the years. MC/MM phono inputs. Remote control.

I didn´t fine anything.

Excellent pre regardless of price ($150.), inputs galore, 2 phono with mc and mm, remote controllable, 2 pre outs for you bi-ampers and sonically very clean and quiet, if you have a descent amp you will have a great time sonically! Some nice components inside too! Simply put just a great piece.

I had a bad experience with reliability on the first one of these, but the second has been reliable. I have not been all that impressed with the sound quality. It seems fake , unnatural, or plastic to me. I compared it directly to the pre amp within a Sansui 9090 by using it with the built in power amp of the 9090. The 9090 preamp sounds natural and musical. It sounds live, and real. The nad sounds ok, but pretty cheap fake and unnatural as I said before. To me this screams poor design when one considers the "improvement" in technology since 1975. At $500.00 the Nad c 160 pre amp was the worst investment I have ever made. I have heard many pre amps and receivers, as well as integrateds that I liked a lot more.

clean sound,extended soundstage,controled bass and more.....

are you crazy =þ

this preamp is awesome..just buy it =)

Seems reliable so far, selectable MM/MC input, dual outputs nice for subwoofer, lots of inputs, and the remote control is great.

Not quite a straight wire with attenuation. Power cord not removable and of ordinary quality.

I upgraded to the C-160 from my homemade passive preamp (basically a Radio Shack pot). The NAD, while very very quiet and reasonably transparent, is nonetheless easily audible in the signal path. I also compared it to my 1982 Hafler DH-110 with the Musical Concepts mod, and I have to say I can't hear very much of a difference between their high level inputs (CD), although the NAD's phono section is clearly superior. But my passive pre trumped both these preamps by delivering a more musical sound that emerged from a much blacker background with a heightened sense of aliveness. Associate equipment is a generic Japanese CD player with digital coax out, an MSB Link DAC III with 96KHz upsampling and upgraded op-amps, a significantly modified Dynaco ST-70 power amp, and average quality Audioquest interconnects. This is a fine, fine preamp for the money, but I think I now understand why many top-rated preamps cost over $2000.
