Strength:

mid size Energy ESM 3s, has been very reliable apart from needing a new power supply some years back, but considering the use and age, this is acceptable. Now my Dad has upgraded to a Marantz Sr4300, and I now have the NAD in my bedroom driving two Sony "micro system" type speakers, and it sounds great, much better than the Micro System it replaced (no shocks there!) mobile auto mechanic near me

Weakness:

None . .

Strength:

What a great preamp! Natural sound, no distortion at all. I paired it with a pair of Paradigm Reference Active 450LR and a Polk PSW150. What a sound! I got it for 500$ the whole kit. It is worth 10x more. I put a good DAC from SMSL and I listen to music from Deezer HiFi. Impressive sound quality.

Weakness:

Lack of balanced output. Made in china... Why such a quality piece of electronic would be produced in china? At this price (1300$ cad) I woul expect it was built in Canada our USA.

Dynamic sound, full bass, good imaging and seperation. A good performing pre-amp for sure, I've heard better for sure but for the price I paid for it, can't complain.

Equipment used Quad 99 Power amp and Usher CP6311, old Sony CDP
