RE: From NAD C320BEE to C165/C275BEE

Yes, I have. I've REALLY like the C275BEE but always had trouble matching it to a preamp. Even the 165.

After years of trying and putting it aside and coming back to it I found the magic combo.

A 25k passive GoldPoint attenuator with the variable/fix switch set to 100k variable position.

It seems ALL the preamps only muddied it up. Skip the 165 and find a really good passive like a Gold Point or better yet the Placette volume controller.

Addendum: the C275 really is a great amp and it does every thing very well once properly setup. Don't force that preamp on it because the amp itself has PLENTY of gain. The one thing that always stands out with the C275 is how effortlessly it handles complex music. Uncommon for a solid state amp to be so clean sounding but never bright. Try it passive first with the selector set to variable 100k input.
