User Review: C 165BEE Stereo Preamplifier - C165BBE Stereo Preamplifier My opinion !

February 17, 2013

Products: C 165BEE Stereo Preamplifier

Bought C165 Stereo Preamplifier in November 2012. Had it for 3 months, It replaced an old surround Reciver from Harman Kardon AVR 65 Who had been used as a pre amp . My system are a combination of Cabrigde Dac Magic, Sonographe 250 high current amplifier by Conrad Johansen with a mix of difrent cables from QED, AUDIOQUEST, MONSTER, My loudspeakers are selfbuild from Focal, The speakers are known as Grand Utopia La Scala so my system is High end to hifi price, Anyway Nad has show again that they know how to build Stereo eqvipment, The 165 BBE and Sonographecombo sound more like a tube amplifier than transistor one. My only regret was that I didnt buy Nad 165BEE when it came in 2009, that would have saved me from a lot of trouble with noise from HK AVR65. I will stick to NAD again, Then it comes to stereo products, The prise in Norway is a joke compere to quality you pay for.
