Excellent sounding out of the box, with a slightly anemic midrange and bass. I was on a $300 budget, and got one from a home theatre store for $250. I replaced the JRC opamps with Burr-Browns, and replaced about 30 capacitors with Wima and Nichicon Muse KZ. Great bang for the buck. It betters the NAD 541, which I had also tweaked, and had for about 5 years until the laser gave out.
My System:
NAD C350 integrated amp, majorly revamped with Nichicon Muse, Elna Cerafine, and Wima capacitors, Vishay metal film resistors, and some point-to-point wiring with silver-clad copper.
Tannoy MX-2's with RelCaps and Mills resistors, on Lovan stands.
Marantz CD5001.
Nordost Solar Wind cabling.
The NAD integrated is a good design, but comes from the factory with some poor quality parts and workmanship. The Tannoy MX-2 is one of the best bargains in audio.
