Review Date: September 2, 2009
Reviewer: Butch Patchell, Tuttle, Oklahoma United States
Although presented as an audio/video controller, the AV8003 shines brightest on the audio side. The newest uncompressed codecs from DTS and Dolby are simply phenomenal when played through this unit. I'm using a Marantz DV9600 and an Oppo Digital BD-83 for my front end and they both sound awesome. I'm using an Anthem A5 connected to the AV8003 using balanced cables for amplification. Speakers are Paradigm Reference Studio 100 v2 L/R. Paradigm Servo 15 subwoofer. Paradigm Reference Center and surrounds.

If you are looking to use this unit to do video scaling, look elsewhere. Fortunately for me both the Oppo and Marantz players have excellent video and the Oppo has a plethora of video scaling options so that I just set the AV8003 on pass-thru. The AV8003 uses Anchor Bay's video scaler which is the same one used in DVDO products so its not a bad choice. Its just that the audio is what grabs attention.

Using the Audyssey MultEQ® setup is a breeze and the results are terrific. The Audyssey system creates multiple equalization curves that you can toggle through and select the one that pleases you most. Each channel can be manually calibrated and equalized if you like tweaking things. You can even display the curves on your TV which I found entertaining, especially comparing my settings to those of the Audyssey system. If equalizers leave you queasy, just choose source direct and bypass the tone controls completely. I personally believe that this is the way to go for stereo sources in particular. The DV9600 has some really good DACs so I play my CDs using the analog connections to the AV8003. I'm no expert on analog stages, but the 8003 trumps the SR19 by a small margin and to my ears, equals the sound quality of some expensive 2-channel only controllers I've listened to. Where images wavered from side to side with the SR19, the AV8003 locks each instrument and voice into place and holds them there. The depth and width of the sound stage equals that of the SR19 which also had the ability to make it seem as though the sound is coming from somewhere beyond your speakers.

I replaced my Marantz SR19 receiver with the AV8003 after spending many a night agonizing over the prospect of retiring the SR19. It was absolutely the best sounding receiver I've ever listened to. The opportunity to reduce the cable clutter behind my equipment rack was the straw that tipped the scales in favor of the AV8003.

My only gripe with the AV8003 is the remote controller. If I had been unable to find a suitable replacement for it, I would have sent the whole unit back. It is that bad! There is not enough space on this web site to describe the frustrations I experienced trying to program and use that thing! It is, by far, the worst remote I've ever used. Nothing about it is intuitive. Programming it to control your system is an exercise in futility. If you decide to purchase the AV8003, do yourself a big favor: Buy a Logitech Harmony remote control. I'm using the Harmony 890 and I love it.

Product Description
Ever wish you could "perk-up" your counter or scanner to read weak signals? Or how about boosting that cable TV run to drive sets throughout the house or maybe preamping that TV antenna to bring in that blacked out football game? The PR2 broadband preamp is the answer to all these needs as well as many others. You can use the PR2 anywhere a high gain, low noise amp is called for; digging out those weak shortwave signals or putting new life into that scanner radio - especially at 800 MHz. Since the PR2 has such a high compression point of almost 100 milliwatts, you can even use it to boost the power of small, micro transmitters! Newly designed microwave MMIC chips from NEC Japan enable the PR2 to have gain up to 2 GHz although we only spec the PR2 to 1 GHz (believe it or not the connector lead length is the limiting factor!). Customers tell us that the PR2 outperforms professional lab units by the "Big Boys" that go for hundreds of dollars more. The PR2 is the ideal general purpose RF amp that you'll wonder how you got along without. Runs on 12 VAC/DC or 120 VAC using the included wall adapter. Size: 4" x 2" x 1".

Ramsey PR2 Broadband RF Preamplifier - Assembled Details
  • Increase sensitivity of receivers & test equipment
  • Broadband...from 1 MHz to 1000 MHz, usable to 2000 MHz!
  • Low noise figure, < 2.5dB!

This is the third attempt at entering a review for this unit. I bought it and had to return it twice as it had a major defect that would produce huge volume surges with no warning. Stay away from this unit!

Excellent Reasonably Priced Product
 
Review Date: March 20, 2010
Reviewer: J. Hahnfeld, Milton, MA USA
There is not much of a selection of preamps left in this price range these days. I commend NAD for keeping such an excellent and reasonably priced product in the market. After a week's listening, I find this preamp to be a superb product. While one often feels new purchases to be superior, I believe that this is a genuine improvement over my former Adcom GTP-450. Everything is clean, pure, sonically devoid of any extraneous artifacts to get between the listener and what the artist intended. The product also seems mostly well designed and solidly built.

My caveat, keeping it from five stars, concerns the lack of an led on the volume control knob, which would provide welcome visual feedback regarding volume setting changes, and the fact that the small blue leds identifying the various sources (CD, Media Player, Tape, etc.) are visible from across the room, but not to a person standing and reaching down to waist level to turn on the equipment, making it necessary to bend down to look at the unit head on to see which source is already selected. But when weighed against the overall quality and ease of use of this product, this is nitpicking. I'd give four and a half stars if that were an option.

Purchased from an authorized NAD dealer for $750, and I'm very pleased with the product.
