All New NAD Master M33 Integrated Amp // GAME CHANGER ?..

There are limits to reality.  Actual acoustic sound has limits.  I’ve purchased some of their newer M class offerings and found them to be hard and bright sounding.  Unlistenable actually.  I was a fan of NAD during their robust Class A/AB era.  The texture and warmth of music just evaporates with the Class D stuff I have heard.  But hey, different strokes!

I have the M10 in my office and it is very good...not a game changer. 

When I read the word “revolutionary”, I take pause as I have seen it too many times for equipment that certainly is not. 

More feedback !

nad, the smart guys that they are, are as good marketers as they are product development folks...

...if you listening carefully -- that whooshing sound you hear in the background is the sound of internet hype, the current day winning marketing lever for many a savvy hifi brand

don’t get me wrong, nad has made good stuff for years, high value, good performance - it was one of my beloved early pieces in my college years when money was very tight

in more recent years they made quite a mistake (sq wise, not commercially...) going to ice power class d module amplification, which neutered what was the earlier, lively musical tone of their amps such as the great 3020 which put them on the map

they may have corrected this finally with a newer better class d module in this just-introduced ’flagship’ all in one model

but making a decidely bad sounding high line unit now less bad sounding does not make for any ’game changing’ -- just putting it into perspective folks
