NAD C352

Purchased in 2013(used,200 euros),now is 2021,still running. Does get hot(like all NAD's), need good ventilation. I replaced factory jumpers(pre/main) with Audioguest RCA jumpers. Also using Chord C-line IC cable for PC as a source connection. Speaker cable is Wireworld Solstice, and speakers are PMC DB1i. Very power hungry speakers, but NAD drives them surprisingly well. With this cable setup, the soundstage is bigger, become more musical, clearer picture overall. Low range is very dynamic, mid's are a bit infront,(which I like) lovely singer's voices, high's are good(little rolled off). Instrument separation is very good, with a touch of airiness between them.CD section is amazingly good(Sony PlayStation 1 SCPH-1002 audiophile version, believe it or not), also with Chord IC. I am very satisfied with NAD C352, there are no negatives regarding the price. If future owner's want a improved sound, then better cables are must. It goes well with Brand's mentioned above. Also feel free to experiment with other cable companies.

NOTE: this amp response much better to OFC cables( avoid silver one's, they muffle the sound, at list in my case). -ComputerAudiophile-

NAD C352 Amplifier

Excellent. Simply an elegant design with a sound unsurpassed at this price range. Styling, you'll either love it or hate it! Personally the minimalistic approach that nad has employed is perfect, uncomplicated, sophisticated and just works. Remote control is well designed, exceptional easy of use, well spaced buttons. Once again a minimal design that does what it needs to do and does it well.

Sure it has it's quirks! incremental volume control from the remote control is ridiculous! But that is NAD. In fact I am sure that NAD design there gear that way! Rest assured this is the only fault I can pick with this exceptional amplifier. Anyone who owns one would not disagree this is a solid amp and tackles all genres with easy and expertise.

It is powered well beyond its specifications I am sure that 80 watts per channel in to 8 ohms is conservative. This thing rocks! It will drive almost any speaker you throw at it.

I highly recommend this amplifier, If you can find one, GRAB IT! You will not be dissapointed.

I really like the C352 and I will be keeping it for some time ever though I wont use it in my main system, I also have a NAD c272 and a musical fidelity pre-amp which it compares relatively well to with more efficient speakers, though with anything under about 90db/watt its a little underpowered I find, fine if you don't intend to push it too hard though, the 272 and presumably 372 though have endless power, the sound can be improved with using a high quality interconnect between the pre and power sections, but try a few maybe as you might not always find the difference an improvement. and preferably use something of 0.5m or less or it makes it more or less pointless.

I recently changed my system i replaced my Marantz PM4200 amp and CD5400 cd player for the Nad C521Bee cd player and the Nad C352 amp. The C352 amp is a great amp no matter what music you listen to it just sounds great, the stereo imaging is amazing. Some people will not like the styling of the Nad but its nice to know the money is spent on the inside rather than all that bling. Everything the Nad does it does well even down to the well designed remote.
