*PRICE DROP!* NAD C320Bee Integrated Amplifier Mint $250 shipped


This VERY gently used amplifier is in excellent condition both cosmetically and mechanically, easily a 9/10 on the Audiogon scale. I am the original owner & the amp has been extremely well cared for. There is one tiny pin head sized nick on one upper edge that wasn't visible until I went over it thoroughly.

This integrated amplifier received stellar reviews including the GoodSound! Product of the Year award & the 2005 Hi-Fi Product of the Year. It's a terrific integrated and carries on a wonderful NAD tradition of excellence.

The amplifier will be carefully packed in its original manufacturer's carton along with the user's manual and remote control. Shipping available to U.S. addresses only.

    Does it have phono pre-amp built in?

    I don't THINK so.

    You might go to NAD's website & check on it or contact them. I don't have a turn table, so have a phono pre wasn't a concern of mine. Perhaps someone else can let us know?

    No, it does not have a phono stage.

    Thanks, Doro.

    I knew you'd know & hoped you'd comment, so thank you.

    FYI, entry level phono pre amps are inexpensive.

    I've heard this NAD integrated amp.. and it sounds very, very nice. NAD has always made some pretty solid stereo gear.

    I'm interested. I am looking for a receiver or integrated for my new office space....really just for computer hookup. Would this be overkill? Maybe a bit pricey for what I need? Thanks. You taking paypal?

    the cool thing about this NAD integrated amp.. is that it has jumpers in the rear.. so the amp and pre amp can be separated.. it's still housed in one unit, but if you already have an amp, and just need a pre amp.. this also works great for that. it's like having two componets in one. :)

    very flexible... Not all integrated amps allow for this cool feature. ;)

    Hi Mike,

    I really don't know if the NAD C320Bee would be overkill - I've never done what you're doing (although I'd LOVE to!) - & thus I really can't (& really shouldn't) comment on if this is a pricey solution for you.

    But I CAN answer "Yes, I do take paypal!"

    & As DangerBoy stated, it's a terrific amp that presents a lot of solid, quality options. You could use it with your computer or any number of possibilities. It's a great performer.

    Up until recently I've used an integrated amp for my computer rig for years.

    I'll get back to you in the morning. I've had a NAD HTR, with the jumpers removed, and that only took me a couple days to trouble shoot, and I have a NAD 2 channel amp in my 2 channel system....so....I'll see if there is a price drop by morning...thanks, guys...

    Offer sent by PM. Thanks. I currently run my home computer through a NAD C272, along with a Rotel CDP. I sacrifice the SQ for the ease of being able to hit any song on Napster or streaming some Live365. One of these days, I will get around to upgrading my soundcard....some day.

    1. BF: please check PM. We have a couple issues. Thanks.

    2. Doesn't this need jumpers between the preouts and the main in? I know my NAD receiver did.

    3. Yes, it did. I used some RCA connectors to bridge the gap. Nice sound....very nice....
