NAD C375BEE Amplifier

NAD C375BEE replaced very successful model C372, which was considered as one of the best by sound at a reasonable price. According to the words of the chief engineer and developer of Bjorn Erik Edvardsen (his BEE initials are in the title), the device is very close by its sound characteristics to the top M3. Traditionally for all NAD amplifiers, there is the branded Power Drive circuit technic of the end cascades and the system of "soft" limitation of output power - Soft clipping. In addition, the original compensating circuit of distortions (Distortion Canceling Circuit) and current control of output transistors (BEE Anti-saturation Clamp) were borrowed from the flagship M3. The amplifier is full assembled on a discrete element base; already traditional for NAD toroidal Holmgren transformer is used in feeding. Switching capabilities of C375BEE impress - all thinkable and unthinkable inputs and outputs are in presence. Fashionable today mini Jack to connect portable players wasn't forgiven too.

Dynamics of playing is very high, bass is deep and well-decorated. Generally, maximally articulated lower part of the range is the proprietary feature of amplifiers of this brand. That's why the fact that middle is conveyed purely and clearly as well was a pleasant surprise for me. Only in very difficult by timbre compositions NAD C375BEE a bit disordered that did not prevent comfortable listening. Against this background detailing of tops looks not very6 high. If discants are played confidently, the very top components in live recordings are not accurately drawn. Sound space is homogeneous, but front plans are formed a little sharper. There were no special claims to localization of imaginary sources.
