NAD C 298 Power Amplifier With Purifi Eigentakt Amplification

It's back from being repaired. It is dead silent from listening position, if you get within a few inches/or press your ear to the unit there is still an oscillating/hum.

But it is much better than before. I can for sure live with it!.

Can anyone else who has one put their ear to it and see if there has this now small issue.

I hear absolutely no hum when mine is operational.

From very close my two nad also make a very slight hum. Speakers are dead silent.

Reading here all the quality problems with the C298, I'm dissapointed that NAD haven't improved! Many years ago I bought one of their large T753 receivers. It ended up back for repairs a few times until they gave up and offered to replace it with a newer model T765 (plus a small upgrade charge). The T765 then slowly developed cooling fan problems - the bearings failed and the fans would rattle horrible. I've slowly been disconnecting the fans and it's down to (I think) 2 out 4, but I don't drive the amp hard so I'm crossing fingers it's ok.

I love my Nord! Zero problems, great performance, great design. NAD fumbled here.

Quality problems, MichaelEA? Don't be fooled by vocal minority effect.

The C298 is a very good power amplifier and has high sound quality, backed up by very good objective measurements.

It is unlikely that anybody on audio science review will recommend a tube preamplifier as all this will do is
