NAD 310, some informs needed, Reviews, listening tests, opinions are welcome.

I have the diy interest in this amplifier, as i could listen to it but i could not buy it.

It is famous, and people are asking enormous price for it.

Reason why i will construct it.

I will be happy to listen opinions about ...good and bad opinions, to push me to do it, or to push me to give up.

Any informs, from the ones that already had listened the unit are welcome.

Anatech opinions, SY, and all forum guys are valuable opinions.... as the ones that had listened can say more about it.

Sorry guys, but i love single ended circuits, i feel them great.

Opinions that are based only in schematics are not really needed.

Here is a schematic that remember the NAD 310..... as the factory schematic is copyrigth protected...this is a fake one, a modified copy i found in the internet.hehe

regards,

Carlos

Hi,

Its a cheap 20w amplifier and IMO an exercise in budget
design rather than offering any advanced analogue design.

The highly assymetrical output stage is pointless, other
than allowing a low component count, it has no merit.

I suppose you could call the overall design clever, as it
uses few devices without being hideously compromised,
but it is compromised and not a good design.

Thank you Sreten, i am also studying other models

They are always compromised....we cannot avoid that.

thank you.

This particular NAD circuit must be one of the most unusual....
Output cap on an modern amp...ok but....
The output stage...use of Mosfet in pos rail and bipolar in neg (common) rail??

It's not cheaper what's the purpose, distorsion?

Maybe someone have answers about this circuit.........
