NAD 3020
Integrated Amp
Here it is……… quite simply one of the best sounding, best designed and best built budget priced integrated amplifiers ever made.
With discreet circuity (no nasty chips or IC’s), the early 80s NAD 3020 was and still is, a legendary giant-killer,
This one is in really beautiful physical condition (see close-up pictures), performs like new and sounds quite remarkable.
20 watts RMS per channel of pure audio joy and packed with many useful features, this lovely amplifier is in full & crackle-free working order and excellent physical condition.
The following description is from hifiengine.com:
“The NAD 3020 can be used as the heart of an elaborate audiophile sound system. For example, the pre-amp out jacks may be connected via a stereo patch cord to any high quality separate power amplifier. To use a separate high power amplifier for your main stereo speakers while continuing to use the NAD 3020'S inbuilt power amp for headphones or extension speakers, simply install Y adaptors to split the signal from the pre-amp out jacks. The pre-amp stage is capable of driving several power amplifiers in parallel, or the long signal cables required to connect to power amplifiers located near the speakers, or to powered speakers.”
One of Audio Review’s 10 most significant amplifiers of all time, here is their summary:
“This unassuming little integrated amplifier brought true high-end sound to a mass-market price, and in the process, exposed a whole generation of music lovers to high-end audio. The 3020 was simply the “go-to” amplifier for an entry-level high-end system. There are many more audiophiles today because of the 3020.”
The people who own these don’t tend part with them. Listen to a 3020 and you’ll appreciate why.
