Huge soundstage, crunching quick low bass, detailed midrange.

Different (european) sound many americans may have trouble getting used to after being taken over by the japanese.

Acutally I have one on back order and should get one in less than two weeks. Review of sound is based on owning some NAD separates. I will update later on this particular unit, but I am 99% sure it will have a very similar sound.

Frederik in Sweden, How did you find such a low price? The one I'm getting is refurbished. We are brainwashed that everything costs triple US prices in europe. Do you work for Saab aerospace?

Also, I am disappointed to learn that the subwoofer out doesn't work in stereo mode. I have been using a sub-sat system since 1983 and I don't intend to do without now. One way to get around it which is the route I will go is to send the pre-out signal to another AV receiver that does have a subwoofer pre out and use it to drive the fronts and sub. I think I might rather use the rear preouts, but I will have to experiment to see if that will provide a decent subwoofer signal.

Great sounding two-channel stereo (unusual for many HT receivers)

Weak remote - especially through glass in stereo cabinet.

Note to "Deep Throat" - review of 1/8/01...Are you out there??

Tried to email you through Audioreview - but it was returned "Unknown user". Just read your T760 review - thanks for the trick for determining the firmware version - I just tried it, and discovered I also have version 1.07. I’ve had my T760 for about 4 months now - it’s great! I don’t have a sub yet and have been hesitant in spending the $$ after reading all the stuff about no sub in stereo mode. May need to reconsider now. Although bass is pretty accurate from my NHT Super Two’s.
What other secret codes do you know of?

Are you 'no sub out in stereo mode' people listening to CD audio via the T760's CD input jacks, ie analog RCA jacks? (I know how obvious this sounds).

If your CD player has a coaxial or optical digital output, try listening to the CD player via the T760's digital inputs. When connected this way, I've had no problem using a sub while in stereo mode.

Good luck...

Oops, sorry folks, my email address should be correct now.

This receiver is smooth and detailed. HT and Music sound great and I enjoy the style of the unit.

Stereo sound, design

Sub crossover not adjustable, delay when switching modes, speaker connectors a little cheap, remote not very responsive

I wanted to replace my Audiosource amp with the T760 to to add home theater features. As I mostly listen to music the reviews here encouraged me to select this model. Having heard it, I would switch just for the improvement in stereo sound, which was a big step up.

I would keep this model if it wasn't that it I can still exchange it for the recently released T761, which adds a little power (just in case, this has plenty of power) and hopefully corrects some of the minor problems described here, such as the delay when switching sources, 100hz only crossover for sub, and unresponsive remote. I should add, though, that I used to think my sub was a little muddy before I connecting it to the sub-out on this receiver. In spite of the high cross-over, bas is now tight and defined and makes my sub/sat system sound great (Phase Tech Octave 10 sub and JBL L20T speakers (these older 1984 models sound good).

Before buying I compared to the well-reviewed Marantz SR7000, which to me does not compare in 2-channel quality: its sound lacks detail in the mid-range, a little too warm.

This is a great buy for anyone finicky about music and on a budget.

Straighforward to use. High quality sound.

Sub-woofer not active in stereo mode.

I bought this receiver sight unseen (nobody locally could stock) after having heard the T770. I am very impressed with the sound quality for both audio and video listening. In the NAD tradition, this is a very straightforward receiver that is easy to use by all family members. The main drawback I have encountered is difficulty using subwoofer in stereo mode. I ended up using both the sub-out and speaker level feeds for the sub which requires sub volume re-adjustment when switching to/from stereo mode. (NAD technical support was very responsive from the e-mail on their web-site when I was trying to figure this out).

I think that this is one great receiver for the modest price of $815 including shipping.

Extremely clean and stable power into all kinds of loads. About as good an audio section as you can get.

Video throughput quality isn't the best I've seen. Can't easily use subwoofer in stereo mode, though it can be done.

I'm a professional film score mixer and audio mixer and have been using NAD amplification (2600A) for years to reference mixes at home through KEF 104.2, Vandersteen 2Ci and Wharfedale EM-93 speakers. With the exception of Bryston or Boulder, nothing beats NAD, and surely nothing beats NAD for the price.... for audio. Their video is a bit funny ergonomically, and there seems to be some coloration issues on the monitor out. A good receiver, from an audio guy's point of view, should produce unity gain throughput, meaning if a -10db signal is put in, at a pre-out point, a -10db signal should come out. NAD does this, but not with video. What comes out has a darker contrast and coloration than the original, and while I may have some settings out of whack (being, as I said, an audio guy), it should work out of the box. If you can find this receiver for under $900, I do think it's a great buy.

Sound quality. All discrete transistor power amp section. Simplicity.

No CD digital input (761 fixes this). Can only pick a radio station by scrolling through all 30 presets. Scrolling thru station presets via remote is flaky (sometimes hitting preset +/- doesn't select the next radio station preset - NOTE TO NAD FIRMWARE GUY THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CURRENT STATION ISN'T TRANSMITTING RDS DATA, THE PROBLEM ISN'T IN THE REMOTE IT'S IN THE 760 ITSELF!!)
While I like simple, I would like adjustable X-over frequency in Bass Management and renameable inputs on fluorescent display.

So far a year and I'm still a happy customer; I'll stick with this unit for some time (and I'm a self-professed fickle picky bugger).

A capacitor blew on the DSP board & this took NAD 3 weeks to fix, but to be fair I left the thing on continuously for 5 months (if the factory didn't already do it, it's nice & burned-in now - no more infant mortality electronic components or weak solder joints).

To all other owners, here's a discovery I made:

Try rebooting the 760's DSP by unplugging the 760 from the mains for 10 minutes, and then powering up again. If you've been wondering where the magical sound that you heard when you first bought the unit went, well it came back for me & I couldn't be pulled away from the stereo for 3 hours. Please let me know if you experience the same thing.

I'm not sure exactly what happened, but some professional experience has shown me that DSP's (& other digital audio circuitry) can sometimes begin to operate in a half-witted fashion - sound still comes thru, but bugs in h/w &| s/w corrupt the signal slightly. You geeks out there will recognize this as a SUBTLE bug.

To all who responded to my previous post about hidden firmware features on this machine, thanks for your several hundred emails! It was fun.

POWER. my oh my that power.... clarity, detail, simplicity.. brutal looks.. a "no fuss no´r extra features that i don´t use" kind of amplifier that DOES have all you need..

ok, so a variable sub x-over would be nice.. i dont need any but i think it would be a nice feature..

I love this machine. It sounds great, it has enough power to run a minor household, deosn´t break up (tonally) when I push it near max, it wasn´t any hard at all to comprehend menus(osd) or put up the Ht sets...
It looks really childish when you scroll through the menus but once you have put in all the information it need, by god, ít´ll make you happy.

Ï have it hooked up to the T550 dvd and it works like a charm... it is a really neutral blend and I think the movies sound a lot like they´re supposed to.. I love it..

In comparison to the other brands I´ve tried I think it is way ahead.. I think Yamaha was the one who came closest but it hasnt got the same awesome lows(T760 has 45amps that will rock even the settlest of speakers..)... My next crusade will be a cd-player, C-541 most likely :)

To all Nad owners out there: Have a great life
To all non Nad owners: Try to have a great life
