THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING NAD.
The T 175 AV Tuner Preamplifier is a technologically advanced and highly capable product — yet we have invested great effort in making it simple and easy to use. The T 175 delivers a range of genuinely useful options for surround sound and stereo listening, using powerful digital signal processing and superbly accurate digital-audio circuitry. However, we have also been careful to ensure that the T 175 is as musically transparent and spatially accurate as possible, incorporating much of what we’ve learned from a quarter century’s experience designing audio and home-theater components. As with all our products, NAD’s “Music First” design philosophy guided the T 175’s design, such that it can confidently promise you both state-of-the-art surround home-theater and audiophile-quality music listening for years to come.
