Stay away from the nad


Yesterday the right channel on my NAD C356 went bad just three months after the warranty expired.  75% of the sound shifted to the left. Just out of curiosity, did anyone had a similar problem? I contacted an authorized service center and their estimate was $400.00???
I WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING MADE BY NAD. GARBAGE BELONGS TO GARBAGE.
Anyhow, on Monday I will order Accuphase E-270 to put the end to the search for an Integrated amplifier.

Same here with a 315bee integrated.  Good sound for the money, but built with components so cheap and assembled so badly that it did not last much longer than a year.  The entire pre-amp was totally shorted, inputs, volume control, etc... in a more than caring environment. 
So for me, never NAD again.  In addition, the new classic line hybrid digital have not been well received by reviewers.
imho, NAD is not going stay one the market much longer.  They have made the wrong choices when it come to quality control and designs. 
yes, tons of refurbished at various dealers - nad is going to end up like adcom.
