Once again I find myself preferring the lower end piece of a particular line. This time it's NAD. I bought myself a C275BEE out of frustration several years ago. Already having a NAD C326BEE I figured hey - more SHOULD be better????Well after two or three years of trying to get this amp to sound right I just gave up. I find myself CONTINUALLY rotating back in the amp section of the humble C326BEE. It just sounds tons better.
After looking at the schematic for the C275BEE I think I figured out why. It's like it was over engineered to death!
I also found this to be true with many of the vintage pieces I once collected. Pioneer, Sansui and even Marantz. Seems the more they try to "improve" or Impress???? the more they just gum up the sound. Their simpler pieces did sound far better.

PS I will be getting my Latino ST-70 tomorrow. Yippie!!!!!!! A modern tube amp setup. I still love my Sherwood.
