Warm sound. More powerful than rated power would suggest. Good sound stage.

Remote could be better, but it's not really as bad as some reviewers have indicated. You get used to anything with time.

I have been using my T751 for about eight months now and I could not be happier. I could never understand why people with average sized living rooms (like me) would want more power than this unit produces. I have never come even close to having the volume all the way up, even when rocking out to dance music.

The sound produced by the T751 is warm, instead of bright, which works very well with the acoustic music I usually listen to. Female voices, in particular, come across very well without a nasal twang that I have heard with some other units.

There is a slight hum in my speakers when no music is playing, but this completely disappears when a disc is playing. All in all, I believe that I purchased an excellent unit that gives me all I could hope for in sound quality for a remarkably small price. I bought the NAD from an authorized re-furbishing dealer and have had absolutely not problems with it. Whatever may have been wrong for the original owner has never returned to haunt me.

I highly recommend the T751 if you want a "near high end" sound quality.

Sound quality, price

Good news. The much despised remote has been replaced with the HTR-1 programable remote. I also checked the video conversion from composite to S-video and vice versa and had no problem. I guess the folks at NAD heard their customer complaints.

The only thing I can say that hasn't already been mentioned was that the 751 needed a lot of break-in. For the first 6 hours it was just plain awful. And for the first two weeks I figured this was a good HT amp, but not up to serious two channel listening. After three weeks I put on Pink Floyd-Division Bell and was amazed at how everything had improved. Great imaging, large soundstage, the treble had settled down and the weak bass had developed some real punch. I'm now a convert to the NAD philosophy.

This is an update to my review below.

For the benefit of others, I though I would mention that I have successfully used the NAD T751 receiver and the NAD T550 DVD player with the Sony Universal Remote RM-VL990.

The trick was to follow the instructions in item 23 at:

http://nadelectronics.com/Support/faq.html

For the T751, the main trick was the bit about pointing the remote away while starting it up.

I found the T550 much harder to program than the T751. The main trick here was to only tap on the key you are trying to learn, rather than holding it down continuously as the Sony manual says. Even then, I would sometimes have program a key two or three times to get the signal learnt properly.

By the way, the Sony RM-VL900 universal remote is about a bazillion times better designed than the crappy NAD remotes. NAD should be ashamed of their remote designs.

Given the Sony remote only costs about $70 US, I highly recommend it for people who own this NAD equipment.

It Broke

This is a follow up review from my 9/01 post. After using the product for 3 months I decided that it was defective. In my review I thought it was an impedence issue with cheap equipment. It wasn't. It was a problem with the internal preamp affecting the analog inputs. It was replaced with a new one and what a difference. It sounds twice as nice as the other one. My system as it sits sounds better than display at local audio guru shop. Don't know if nad has build quality issues but I have got one great unit as a replacement.

Sound, amplificatiobn capability

Remote control

Using the T751 with the new NAD 531 DVD, Denon 180 surround and center speakers, Philips FB-301 active subwoofer and a rather mediocre set of front loudspeakers for about 4 months my expreience is as follows:

- Superb sound both on DVD and CD (listening mainly to classical music).

- Rather surprising amplification capabilities. I have never gotten close to maximum output.

DVD score was notable in T2, The Thin Red Line and Castaway (the crash scene score was chilling). CD quality evident both in orchestra, chamber (including string) and vocal pieces.

The remote is awful. You have to point it exactly to the sensor to have it work and the button allocation is not user friendly.

All in all - the best receiver I've ever had (replacing a NAD T340 amplifier, a NAD tuner, Marantz signature edition CD and a Panasonic DVD). Highly recommended.

Simplicity of operation, sound, relatively small footprint

Remote

When I buy audio/video gear, I don't normally look beyond Denon or NAD. On the whole, I'm partial to NAD because their design philosophy appeals to me (spend the money on the sound, not bells and whistles like 57 surround modes).

The things that made me choose this NAD, for a modest sized city home, were:

- This unit is 2 inches less deep than any competing unit. This factor alone basically made me choose the NAD, since I have limited shelf depth due to small room size. Even with this unit, you need a pretty deep shelf since the cables require about another 2-3 inches at the back.

- The single surround sound mode just works, and sounds good. No mucking around with surround modes (are you listening Yamaha?)

- It's easy to use, with sufficient switching flexibility for most people. My spouse, who doesn't like fussy things, finds it easy to use.

Two things to be aware of:

- As everyone says, the remote is brain dead.

- It converts internally between composite video and S-Video. However with Composite in and S-Video out, there is some visible distortion of the picture, sort of a transparent grid pattern similar to the rippled glass in fluorescent light fixtures. The easy workaround for me was to run both S-Video and Composite video cable to my TV, and use the one that matches the input source so no conversion was happening.

Looks, Sound

Remote rather directional

Dosen't work well with lower quality components. Cheap cd players like sony and such need attenuation on output or sent through a preamp to cut level. Nad t751 is an idiot proof machine that rivals many seperate componet systems.Sound difference between nad and sony ect is night and day. I finally own something my wife can use. Been using Sony (vision touch egg) and the convience of all on screen controls for everything I own was nice. But for the sound difference I'll bring back out the basket of remotes anyday. Wife fought me tooth and nail on this purchase but she is now eating he words.

I was going to write a long painfull review of this receiver as well as my story of how I choose it.. But even that would not do it justice. Instad, I am going to post a link to a review by Neil Gader from "The Perfect Vision" as he does a much better job of explaining the quality of this product than I ever could. It suffices to say that I am VERY pleased with my receiver.

Here is the link.
