I've bought my NAD C326BEE amplifier almost two years ago, and i got promised a hell of a good quality and that it would last for YEARS. But ever since i bought the damn amplifier, it has been shutting off by itself without any reason and no other ways of turning it on than cutting off all the power and starting it all up again from the bottom. I've had it repaired 2 times and the third time a got a new amplifer (same model) and now it just started again! I've previously had problems with NAD's amplifiers, so what should i do?

I have had my C326BEE for roughly 3 years now and never had a problem until now. It started to turn itself off over and over again. After adjusting my shelves to help give the NAD more breathing room, I noticed the power cable that plugs into the back of the amp felt a bit loose. Even after pushing the power cable in as much as it would go, it still felt a bit loose. So I wrapped a single piece of electrical tape around the end of the power cable and plugged it back in. Now the cable feels snug and the unit hasn't shut itself off since. Maybe I just got lucky but I hope this helps.
Hi there,
I'm also a Nad fan. I find this pretty odd that you should loose two in such a short space of time. The cutting out is due to the "protection circuit". I would be inclined to get your speakers checked out as if they are faulty or not "matched" to the amp, it will trigger the amp to "protect itself" and shut off.
