MM phono stage also can cope with a wide range of cartridges and operates entirely in Class A. The built-in infrasonic fi lter fi lters out unwanted rumble components from the turntable or record itself but without introducing any signifi cant group delays. To ensure accurate RIAA response the entire circuit uses 1% tolerance metal fi lm resistors and 2% tolerance capacitors. Essentially the same circuitry used for the phono circuit is also used for both the line input and output stage: A modular FET amp operating in Class A. The line output stage is capable of driving 10V into 600 ohms. This, combined with the high input impedance of the line input amplifi er (500k ohms) means that the C 162 can be combined with a vast range of sources and power amplifi ers. For the inputs themselves, the NAD engineers have opted for using relays rather then using electronic switching between sources. All input and output sockets are gold plated. Often it is said that performance and convenience dont go together, but the NAD Model C 162 is the exception to the rule. At this reasonable price, the Model C 162 deserves to partner with the fi nest of ancillary components.
