NAD 317 Integrated Power Amplifier - 250 WPC/ Dynamic Power

Since its introduction, the NAD Model 214 Power Amplifier has enjoyed a strong following and tremendous reputation throughout the world for its performance and reliability. The latest addition to NAD's range of integrated amplifiers is the Model 317 which is very closely related to the Model 214. In fact, the entire Power amplifier inside the Model 317 is identical to that of the Model 214.

Flexibility is a traditional strong NAD point. The Model 317 has 6 line inputs (including 2 tape in/outputs with dubbing facility both ways). By removing the links between the Pre-out and Main-in sockets the pre-amplifier section can be separated from the power amplifier for easy upgrades (bi-amping, for instance) or adding ancillary equipment. As the built-in power amp of the Model 317 is identical to that of the NAD Model 214 you can easily triple the output power to your speakers by adding a Model 214 to your system. Bridge both power amplifiers and you have increased the power of your system to 2 x 240 Watts continuous into 8 ohms. Thanks to this "Building Block Concept" your Model 317 doesn't need to be made redundant to upgrade.

Rather than using electronic switching between sources, the NAD engineers have opted for using relays as these will give better performance at this price level. To ensure long term reliability only relays with gold-plated contacts have been used. The input selector relays are located as closely as possible to the input sockets to minimise cross talk and interference. As with the relays, all input and output sockets are gold plated to ensure reliable signal transfer. A generous power supply (the same massive Holmgren™ Toroidal transformer as the Model 214 is used) and over-rated output devices further lead to low noise and low distortion.

CONDITION -  This unit was a trade and while it works very well it does have some wear and tear cosmetically. Otherwise it plays clean and loud.

SHIPPING - We ship worldwide with UPS, Fed-Ex and various truck freight lines.  All items are packed and padded with care if the original packaging is deemed insufficient.  We know how exciting it is to anticipate the arrival of new gear and we want your item to arrive in the same condition it left our facility.

DELIVERY - ***The amplifier will ship in its original box, inside a wooden crate.  A commercial address or pick-up at the freight terminal are preferred since freight delivery to a residential address may incur an additional lift-gate ($50-$65) and residential fee. ($50-$75).

TAX - 6.5% if picked up in our store or shipped to a FL address. 0% if shipped outside Florida.
