According to NAD, separate components also keep performance levels at a high over all-in-one kit, as large power supply sections and heat radiating output stages are kept distant from the sensitive low voltage circuits in the pre-amplifier.

Its new T175 and T975 draw features from its Master Series, but also feature all new design, colour finish and circuit topologies. The construction comprises of removable cards, which NAD says will offer greater speed to the market of new technology, upgrade capability and simple field servicing.
The T175 pre-amplifier combines all the control and decoding functions in the one box, providing video switching for HDMI, Component Video, S-Video and Composite video. It claims also to convert analogue video to output via HDMI, and by adding power amps and speakers, it's possible to listen to music in up to four zones of the house. A separate second zone remote is included and signals can be transmitted via remote IR sensors. Speaker matching can be achieved via the Audyssey calibration technology on-board.
