The C730 is a respected little NAD stereo receiver: clean, unfussy, and very musical for modest rooms or efficient speakers. At US$151, this looks like a strong buy versus the typical used market, which often lands closer to roughly US$200–US$300 depending on condition and whether the remote is included; if this one is complete and working well, the asking price is below the usual sweet spot.
What makes it worthwhile is the sensible NAD voicing, useful tuner section, and pre-out flexibility in a compact package that still feels properly hi-fi. The main thing to check is the basics: all inputs, tuner lock, scratchy controls, and whether the original remote is present, since that adds real value. If it’s clean and fully functional, this is the kind of older NAD piece that’s easy to enjoy and easy to resell.
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.
