The NAD T 743 is heir to many generations of award winning NAD designs. This exceptional pedigree is evident in both the look and the feel of the T 743, and it is unmistakable the moment you listen. Based on the highly successful T 742, the T 743 boasts improvements in virtually every area of the receiver, for a cumulative effect that is fully deserving of the new model number. Starting with a revised heat management system that reduces internal operating temperatures even under the most severe operating conditions, the T 743 includes a new volume control circuit and input switching circuit that further reduces noise and distortion. In addition, we have increased the number of digital inputs and added speaker switching for a second pair of stereo speakers. Also new are the On-Screen Display, HDTV Component Video Switching, and an illuminated learning remote, the NAD HTR-2.

Performance

Today’s advanced surround sound receivers require quality in both the digital decoding stages and the analogue amplifying stages for the best overall performance. The T 743 is an excellent example of the NAD Design Team’s expertise in both areas.

Using the latest high speed DSP technology, NAD was able to include the newest surround formats from Dolby and DTS, as well as including NAD’s own highly regarded music surround mode, the EARS (Enhanced Ambient Recovery Circuit) circuit. Unlike, the typical artifi cially enhanced DSP modes like “Club”, “Stadium”, and “Church”, EARS uses DSP technology to extract the natural ambience to create surround sound from any 2 channel source inducing a warm natural reverberant effect without the artifi cial “BOING”. Surround processing is automatically detected via the digital inputs of the T 743, and the “highest” or most advanced form of decoding is switched in. Conversion of the decoded digital bitstream
