NAD C 3050: The Best All-In-One Streaming Retro Amplifier?

The NAD C 3050 has been so popular we haven't been able to keep them in stock. And it's no surprise, as this product has so much on offer. Ordered as a straightforward, no-frills integrated amplifier, it still offers an onboard phonostage, plenty of power, and tons of functionality. But what kicks it over the top into an ultimate and comprehensive solution for those looking at high-performers under the $2K price point is the optional BluOS module. Add it to your 3050, and you'll have a complete streaming amplifier as well. With both digital and analog sources covered, you don't really need anything else apart from a decent set of speakers!

I bought the NAD C298 because it has the NAD M23's Eigentakt:
1) it's less $
2) it has more features like adjustable knob gain, RCA loopout for 2 subwoofers, trigger output to my 2 subwoofers
I want the clarity. I add richness via my Cardas Parsec RCA interconnect cables.
I upgraded from a Parasound 2125v2 (already sounds really good).

Just hooked mine up. Only getting a little bit of audio out of my subwooder, nothing from the speakers.. But it looks nice at least

Ive got a 7020e still going strong, its essentially the 3020 with a digital tuner so they call it a Stereo receiver.
I can't bring myself to upgrade it in fear ill just end up spending more money and be dissapointed so ill continue to use it until the wheels fall off, but my wheels might fall off first they way this thing is going. ☺️

Well done

How does this amplifier sound with a gramophon? What cheap bookshelf speakers do you recommend for this amplifier for a small room? Will KEF LS50 be a good choice?

The front panel is aluminum or plastic ?

Right who doesn't dig a vu meter. Nice job. Aloha

[@GeirRssaak]

@@prattman69 so think that vu meters improve the sound?!

[@prattman69]

@@GeirRssaak not even a little bit. But I do love the way they look. ALOHA

Have had a3050 for four weeks and haven’t had a sound out of it yet.😢 Customer service isn’t what it should be.
