    Good Points: Easy to use and get to grips with no fiddly set up menus to worry about like on a digital amp. Easy to clean no stupid nooks for dust to hide


    Bad Points: Looks military. I personally like my stereos to look sleek


    General comments: Just purchased a nad c 350 stereo integrated amp, nad c541i cd player the finest pair of speakers i have ever owned monitor audio silver 5i coupled up with qed quenex leads and qed ox free speaker cable. In comparison to my previous sounds which was a pioneer vsx-d512 av multi channel receiver, pioneer dv-360 dvd/cd,pioneer
    S-h510v floor standing speakers and pioneer s-cr59 surround speakers which sounded amazing for a pioneer. Unfortunately has no marks on the and equipment. I got the new set up from aa guy in town who needed a quick sale and managed to bag the lot for a measley 125 quid price wow sound wow looks wow
    The pioneer setup is awesome for the film enthusiast who likes to be part of the film but for those who appreciate your hearing and quality sounds which many words can describe, than the and and monitor combo is a must buy.

    I bought the NAD C541i CD player after reading some very favourable reviews on the internet.
    I already had a Marantz CD17 but couldn't resist trying the NAD out.
    I'm a die hard Marantz fan and after owning and modifying the CD63 K.I Signature, CD6000K.I, and now the CD17, it was going to take a lot to convince me otherwise.
    Taking it out of the box the unit feels pretty flimsy, not at all solid. Although cosmetically it is fairly appealing, it would be nice to have some extra shielding in th ...

    This note is based on a comparison of the NAD C352 (a slight upgrade of the C351i)with the Denon DCD 755AR. Amp used: NAD 350 (integrated). Speakers: NHT Super Zeros. The NAD sounded awful - strained and very flat. For example trumpets, tubas and saxaphones had no ringing quality. What should have been a natural sounding reverberation sounded very artificial and "tinny". Vocals lacked lower mid range fullness. All that changed for the better when the Denon CD player was connected and the mus ...

    spent 2 weeks listening to various cd players, sony, nad, rotel, arcam, denon and marantz models all around the 300 - 400 pounds price. Was difficult to decide for me, between the rotel model and the nad 541, but opted for the nad because have had nad equipment before and has proved very reliable, saying that, so has rotel equipment i have had. First machine i recieved from empire electricals, was faulty from day one, had to return it to their repair centre in bradford, after 2 weeks or so. I ha ...

    I've listened to the C541i alongside several other players, including the Arcam CD72, Sony (can't remember the model), NAD C521i and Roksan Caspian. While the Caspian is clearly a superior player, the C541i comes remarkably close for almost a third the price.

    The Arcan CD72 is also good player but the 541i puts it positively in the shade, making it sound safe - even soul-less - by comparison. The C541i has amazing refinement and detail from any type of music. This player has the uncanny abil ...
