Back in the late 80’s, I bought a NAD 1300 preamp and 2600A amp. Both were made in Japan. I recently had the relays replaced on the amp by my local NAD authorized service center. It’s first repair after 30+ years of use. When I picked it up, there was basically a new NAD C 275BEE by the front door. I asked the technician who repaired my amp what the story was. He shook his head and said a guy just got it and was under warranty repair. I asked him how it compared with my old amp and he said the design doesn’t compare and that the 2600A was one of the early products that made a name for NAD and started mentioning several 2600A design features that impressed him. Taking the cost of living changes over the past 30 years, the 2600 was also less expensive. As far as I can tell, all of NAD products including the M series are made in DRC (China). Too bad because I used to like the brand.
