Beware of NAD M3 Fire Hazard
My $3k NAD M3 started shooting sparks out the top and burned the shelf that was 8" above. Luckily I was home and not sleeping or the house would have burned down. If anyone has one of these I advise them to unplug it when not in use. I took it to two different repair shops and they said it would be about $800 to just get it running and there may be board issues. They advised not to take the gamble. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do with it?

Shaking down a supplier for a 10+ year old+ electronic product, with a history you don't know (not the first owner), that could have experienced surge events, or other events outside the suppliers control, is not cool. Well the question is, WHY? No matter the answer, shy of "I dropped a penny in the slot, and tried to recover it with a screwdriver and up she went". That type of failure in that picture is a BIG problem, that was and is unsafe. Product failure is part of most electronics. Somewhere along the way they usually quit working. EXPLODING is not normal, simple. I bet they'll want to see it and figure why. I would hope so.. Burning down the house, THAT'S NOT COOL. It should have failed SAFE..RIGHT?? It gets in our homes because it's safe, not UNSAFE.. That's not my opinion, it's the LAW...Yup I get pretty passionate about house fires, neighbors house had a fire behind a non grounded wall clock power cord, in a finished basement. The electrical was in conduit and grounded propper, if it wasn't for the dogs, the whole house would have went up.. Wall clock???yup breaker didn't pop and the cord caught fire. Out of their home for a YEAR... I just glad everyone's ok, where your at..I just went through a 20 amp breaker pop. Trust me it was an expensive POP.. Regards |

I just looked at my audiogon history and I purchased the amp in august 2012. It was probably no more than a couple years old and in mint condition. Never had any issues with it and it was used sparingly in a second system. As far as the voltage I am just guessing it is 110. I thought everyone is either 110 or 220. I sent 2 emails to Lenbrook yesterday but have not received a response. |
