Amazing Flexibility

As with every amp in the Classic Series, we here at NAD have carefully thought through all the possible use cases and strategically chosen the most essential of features. Thanks to selectable balanced inputs, the C 268 is a natural mate for high-end preamps and processors. These inputs include a trim control useful for matching with other components, or for use in bi-amping speakers. A line out allows further addition of power on the same channel for extra speakers or subwoofers. On top of all this connectivity is a bridge switch that turns the C 268 into an amazingly powerful Monobloc amplifier.

You can also pair the C 268 with the NAD C 368 Hybrid Digital DAC Amplifier, and with both units bridged for mono, 300 watts per channel of distortion-free sound become available for your listening pleasure. The C 268’s auto-sense feature with selectable threshold is perfect for automating complex systems or for hiding the amp out of sight in a cabinet. Included with the C 268 is a ground lug that is very useful for eliminating ground loops and noise in complex multi-unit systems.

Getting the Basics Right

As a member of NAD’s Classic Series, the C 268 delivers a richly satisfying sonic performance thanks to its “music-first” features. Accurate channel balance, proper input and output impedance characteristics, and low noise circuits all come together within this one stereo power amplifier. Additionally the C 268’s line inputs, both balanced and single-ended, can accommodate all kinds of analogue source components by offering ideal input impedance traits with linear ultra-low-noise buffer amplifiers to prevent any sonic degradation caused by unfitting loading of the source device.

Sophisticated Power

Having moved away from old fashioned linear power supplies and Class AB output stages, NAD has developed even better performing circuits based on switch mode power supplies and Class D output stages. Once thought to be inferior to traditional topologies, NAD’s advanced work in this area has resulted in some of the best performing amplifiers regardless of basic design principle. The overall design of the C 268 is very linear over a wide bandwidth, providing dramatic advances over previous models with consistent performance into all speaker loads.

The power supply of the C 268 is capable of nearly 200 watts continuously and over 500 watts instantaneously, allowing for short term musical transients. NAD’s innovative asymmetrical PowerDrive fully utilizes every last watt available with its vast reserves of dynamic power available to accurately reproduce the most demanding music without distortion or compression. It can also operate with any AC mains voltage from 100V to 240V, and provides pure DC power to all the various stages of the C 268. This highly efficient supply also provides near perfect regulation of voltage across a wide range of conditions and provides a solid noise-free foundation for the amplifying stages.

The C 268 uses a customised version of the proven Hypex UcD output stage. This allows for massive power with nearly immeasurable distortion and noise in the audible range. Every detail of this design has been carefully crafted and perfectly executed to wring out ever last drop of performance.

Simple, Basic and NOT expensive
Color: Black, Style: coffeemaker
Not Fancy, Not Complicated, Not Expensive. What else do you need in the morning. Replaced the same model with a new one as my old one broke after more than 15 years of faithful service. Takes 11 minutes to brew 8 cups of coffee, which BTW is really only 3.5 cups of coffee in a real mug. Yes, you can set it to start automatically in the morning. Thank goodness for Amazon same day delivery or there would have been chaos the next morning.

A week with this guy and it has been great! Coffee is brewed quickly! Easy to clean and no mess pour! Size is perfect and exactly what we needed. Black of course is always the best color!

Good value. Decent coffee maker.
Color: Black, Style: coffeemaker
This is a decent pretty basic coffee maker. Nothing fancy but it’s programmable and has sneak a cup. That’s all I really care about. I was concerned after reading some reviews about the coffee tasting plastic and leaking. I’m glad that I have not experienced these issues. I bought this because all of the $70-$100 coffee makers I’ve bought die after a year or two anyway. So far so good.

It’s fine, very basic- light during brewing doesn’t work, but it still brews a good cup!
Color: Black, Style: coffeemaker
Sadly I accidentally dropped my coffee pot into my sink trying to wash it and it shattered the entire bottom, so I just bought a similar one, same brand. It works fine, but it doesn’t work as the instructions say. Supposedly when you push the clock button to brew it will give you a green light on the left upper side, and when it’s done brewing it will have a red logo on the bottom right side. I cannot get it to give me the green light for brewing, but if I just hold the clock button down, I’ll hear it stat to gurgle and then it brews. So that part is definitely (at least on mine) not functioning properly, but I don’t care enough to return it and be without coffee another morning, and B&D is always a decent brand. I have a $2800k fancy espresso/latte/cappuccino maker that grinds fresh beans and I use the plain old coffee pot way more because I drink too much coffee to make cup after cup, I want the whole carafe. Besides that one faulty light, it works like any other $35 coffee pot, no frills, and it gets the job done.

Simple, Powerful, and So Much Easier Than Traditional Vacuum Sealers
Color: White
I’ve used traditional vacuum sealers before, and this handheld one is honestly so much easier to work with. The design is simple and compact, and it takes up almost no space in the kitchen compared to the larger machines. One thing I really appreciate is how easy it is to operate. The one-button design makes sealing quick, and the suction is surprisingly strong for such a small device. It removes the air from the bags quickly and seals everything tightly. The bags themselves are also really well made. The material feels thick and durable, so I don’t have to worry about them puncturing easily, even when storing things with sharper edges. Being reusable is a big plus too. Overall this has been a really convenient way to keep food fresh longer without dealing with a bulky machine. If you want something simple, effective, and easy to use for everyday food storage, this is a great option.
