NAD - C 352 Solid state integrated amplifier

High-End Integrated Amplifier – NAD C352 Stereo Amplifier (2003) – Excellent Condition

Offered here is the NAD C352, a powerful stereo integrated amplifier introduced in 2003. Designed according to NAD’s well-known “music first” philosophy, the C352 combines a restrained appearance with a substantial high-current power supply and excellent dynamic performance.

Rated at 80 watts per channel into either 4 or 8 ohms, the C352 uses NAD’s PowerDrive technology and a high-current Holmgren toroidal transformer. It can deliver considerably more power during short musical peaks, making it capable of controlling many demanding bookshelf and floor-standing loudspeakers.
The C352 originally retailed for approximately €595 in Europe, £350 in the United Kingdom and $600 in North America.

Condition:
This NAD C352 is offered as a pre-owned Hi-Fi component and may display normal cosmetic signs of use consistent with its age. Please examine the photographs carefully for its exact condition and the accessories included.

Adequate ventilation is recommended because this powerful Class AB amplifier generates heat during operation. As with any older amplifier, preventive inspection and cleaning of switches, controls and internal components may be beneficial for dependable long-term enjoyment.

Collectable & Practical Value:
The NAD C352 is highly regarded for delivering strong, controlled and musical performance without unnecessary decoration. Its flexible pre-out and main-in connections allow it to be used as an integrated amplifier, a separate preamplifier or a power amplifier. The second pre-out also makes it suitable for connecting an active subwoofer or an additional power amplifier.

With its substantial dynamic power, low distortion and broad range of analogue connections, the C352 remains an excellent centrepiece for a serious stereo system.
