NAD T175 Surround Sound Preamplifier
Separates vs. Receiver
Separate components have always been used in professional applications, and occupy the highest tier of
performance for consumer electronics products. Simply put, the receiver concept makes compromises in
performance and flexibility in favor of convenience and price. This is especially true for the power amplifier
section of the receiver. The large power supply and output stage heat sinks of the power amp must be compromised to fit in the single chassis format of the receiver.
These high power parts can also cause interference with the lowvoltage
sensitive circuits used in preamplifier, tuner and decoder
sections of the receiver. The T175 combines all the control and
decoding functions in one compact chassis, giving up nothing
to the convenience of the receiver, yet by separating the power
amp stages gives a big jump in performance and flexibility. The
5-Channel NAD T955 and the 7-Channel T975 power amplifiers
are perfect accompaniments to the T175.
