“"ONE (pre) AMP TO RULE THEM ALL"”

★★★★★

written by ComputerAudiophile on 13/04/2023

If I ever was surprised by an amp, that's the one. The NAD 302 is an excellent amplifier with definitely more power than stated 2X25 watt's. Buying used for 90 euros, was the best decision ever made regarding hi-fi. Replaced factory jumper's( it's a must) with Audioquest Diamondback interconnect's, improved the overall sound beyond my belief. The AQ/NAD is clearly a winning combination. Listening through Elac Uni Fi 2.0 (2X140 watt's), the NAD 302 drives them like nothing. Add some bass on "02-03 o'clock" controls (why not), and enjoy the result. Also having a Wireworld Solstice 7 speaker cables, help's in wide soundstage, and big, clear dynamics ( WW cables are known for that). The setup includes an IFI UNO dac, from a laptop to amp, connected with Wireworld Equinox 7 interconnect's, and they export an excellent music signal. This "little" amp outperformed my NAD C 352 (2X80 watt's),in sound quality, which I sold after hearing the 302. But when switched to a preamp, my jaw dropped. Connected to an amazing NAD 2400 power amp (2X100 watt's), everything soundwise becomes much better. Wider soundstage, tauter and deeper bass (no controls this time),clearer voices, top class mid's, etc. Insane preamp section of NAD 302. Cannot find a better word. Also noticed that AQ Diamondback's are more suited sounding as jumper's, rather then more expensive WW Equinox 7.In the future, WW cables will be replaced with Audioquest. It amazes me how big sounding this amp is. What can I say more about NAD 302.It was cheap, and the joy it brings far surpassed the price. This amp is a "sleeper", a real "Lord of the Sound".
