I'm a first time nad owner
Based on this topic,thread i wanted more power more oophhh so a new amp with more power,more dynamic headroom,more bass heavy sound was something i wanted

And what many of us don't realize until we hear it, is that clean undistorted loud sound often does not sound that "loud." The key here is that in most or our home listening, there are small amounts of distortion caused by a lack of dynamic headroom (but more on that next month). It's the distortion that makes it sound "loud" in a domestic setting. To remove those distortions and increase dynamic headroom relates to even more power. We've become accustomed to accepting some distortion with our reproduced music, because all amplifier's distortion ratings gradually increase as they approach their output limits or slightly clip the audio signals. When that happens, we turn down the volume, because distortion starts to intrude on our listening pleasure, and it sounds "too loud."
The lesson in all this is that you can never have too much power, and that big amplifiers rarely damage speakers. Little amplifiers driven into clipping burn out speakers. In the scheme of high fidelity, that last barrier to realism is having enough power and being able to approximate real-life loudness levels.
Knew i could get get a nad c370/372 for 200£ but was hesitant to buy one, at some point i wanted to buy a preamp or a amp with preout so i could get me a powerfull amp with a heavy sound lots of control,dynamic headroom
Found a nad 312 close to where i live,it has only 25 watt rms in 8 ohm, max peak power in 8 ohm was 50 watt for 40£ very close to mint condition, had som scratches i could see at the back so i could deside if i want to buy it, (got it 9 hours ago), looked at the back and so nothing (or only very little,tiny scratches), payed for it and connected it to my pc, no sound, OMG it's not working, had my pc muted, finally sound, first of all more grunt more bottom/bass without having to use the tone controls, i wanted to get a bit more since some songs where a bit lite,thin with my marantz pm6005, i wanted a more full bodied sound,less thin and bright sound.
Playing toto,elton john and yello i immediately noticed more bottom/bass (which i know nad are known to have) nice, i finally had a more full bodied sound that wasn't a bit to the bright side, without using tone controls (mabye a bit more since songs could somtimes sound a bit thin with my old amp, that would make the sound even more to the brighte side).
Couldn't resist, neutral bass,treble and the volume all the way up 12 o'clock, although the amp only has 25watt rms and 50 watt peak power i was amazed, toto,elton jon (low recording level) no distrotion, yello no distortion, amazing, loud and clean sound all together with puncy,heavy bass, mabye it sounded like a bigger amp because of the high dynamic peak power of 3db, it just sounded so much more interesting,exiting, so much i wanted to have more power, atleast 100 watt.
No fattigue sound,lots of power, full bodied sound, almost mint sondition and low price, who can ask for more
What is you first time nad experience?
