NAD 3020 Boxed

NAD 3020

Boxed

This was in lovely condition when it arrived. It was still in lovely condition after it had been tested and switch-cleaned and remained in lovely condition right up to the point when someone who shall remain nameless (you know who you are Ken) decided it would be a good idea to give it a final clean……………. With oven cleaner. Consequently the fascia now looks a bit weird (see close-up pictures). This weirdness is reflected in its low asking price.

With discreet circuity (no nasty chips or IC’s), the early 80’s NAD 3020 was a legendary giant-killer. Here is quite simply one of the best sounding, best designed and best built budget priced integrated amplifiers ever made.

20 watts RMS per channel of pure audio joy and packed with many useful features (including high quality built-in MM phono Pre-amp), this beautiful amplifier is in full & crackle-free working order. Physical condition is excellent.

One of Audio Review’s 10 most significant amplifiers of all time:  “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 and you’ll appreciate why.
