AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Description:
Integrated amplifier model 317, has 6 line inputs, including 2 tape in/out connections with a copying function.

By removing the connections between the pre-out and main-in connectors, the preamplifier section of the power amplifier can be separated.


Pre-out / Main-in.
Fully discrete circuits.
Tone control can be disabled.
Bridgeable for 240W at 8 ohms.
6× input switching via a relay with gold-plated contacts.
Soft clipping.
Extremely large toroidal transformer.
Replacing plastic knobs with aluminum knobs.

Specifications
Power: 80 watts per channel at 8 ohms (stereo)
Frequency range: 20Hz to 20kHz
Total harmonic distortion: 0.03%
Dempingsfactor: 200
Input sensitivity: 165 mV (line)
Signal-to-noise ratio: 104 dB (line)
Dimensions: 435 x 130 x 385 mm.


My first test with this amplifier—what excellent sound quality from the NAD 317.
It offers a wide range of inputs; Tape 1 is also a monitor loop, giving your system virtually unlimited possibilities regarding the number of sources.
Controlling speakers from Bose, Revox, Mission, and Bowers & Wilkins went smoothly.
The amplifier's power reserves are impressive.
I'm certain that 80 watts per channel are heavily underestimated.
Compared with a Rotel 100-watt-per-channel amplifier from the same period, the NAD has tighter bass and more detail in the high frequencies. In short, the NAD did exactly what it was supposed to do and did it effortlessly.
