At US$900, this lands above the recent used-market median of US$738 and even above the US$813 75th percentile, so it reads as ambitious rather than a bargain. Against that spread, I’d only call it fair if the condition is exceptional and the package is unusually complete; otherwise there’s enough room to wait for a better-priced example.
The C 268 is well-liked for giving you clean, unfussy NAD power-amp performance with solid drive and very little editorializing, which is exactly why it stays on many shortlists. If this one is genuinely tidy, from a careful owner, and includes the right accessories, it can still be worth considering for a system that needs a straightforward, good-sounding workhorse—but at this asking level, I’d want proof it’s the strong one among the strong, not just a decent one.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
NAD Electronics was founded in 1972 in London by a group of European audio importers frustrated with the hype surrounding Japanese hi-fi products. Led by visionary American executive Martin L. Borish and brilliant engineer Bjorn Erik Edvardsen, the company emerged from a quest to deliver high-performance audio at accessible prices. Their breakthrough came with the NAD 3020 integrated amplifier, the best-selling hi-fi amp in history, which embodied a philosophy of stripping away non-essentials to prioritize pure sound quality.
The brand focuses on core hi-fi categories, excelling in amplifiers—pioneering Class A/B, Class G, and hybrid digital designs—alongside integrated receivers, AV processors, turntables, CD and cassette players, and modern streamers. While not venturing into speakers, headphones, or cables, NAD emphasizes source components and amplification that integrate seamlessly into home theater and custom installation setups, always upholding principles of innovation, simplicity, performance, and value.
Today, as part of Canada's Lenbrook Group and sold in over 80 countries, NAD holds a commanding mid-tier position in the market, revered by audiophiles for affordable excellence rather than ultra-high-end excess. Its "Truth in Power" legacy earns cult status among knowledgeable buyers seeking reliable, award-winning gear that punches above its price, blending vintage heritage with contemporary streaming and hybrid tech.
