NAD 3020A with Original Instruction Booklet WORKS: Perfectly COSMETICS: Superb (8/10) Faceplate is NEAR MINT (Rare) 1 scratch on rear corner of the top cover. It took me years to find this “never-fail” back-up amp that’s so good, I actually look forward to having the chance to plug-her-in! We’re off to AU, so it’s farewell The NAD 3020 is an undisputed classic! An amp so special that THE ABSOLUTE SOUND (TAS) listed it as one of “The Ten Most Significant Amplifiers of All Time” - alongside BIG money amps by KRELL, LEVINSON, MCINTOSH, etc. The 3020 even has its own Wiki page! RAVE ONLINE reviews abound! TAS wrote "The 3020 rendered music with a warmth and engagement that was the perfect antidote to the bright, sterile, grainy budget electronics of the day. Moreover, the 3020 sounded more powerful that its 20W rating suggested, thanks to an innovative output stage designed for reproducing musical dynamics rather than impressing on the spec sheet." The high-voltage 3020 design uses the same powerful transistors that other makers use in 60-watt amps, endowing the 3020 with massive headroom, to cater for music peaks. That’s why the 3020 sounds so powerful and can drive difficult speakers down to 2-ohm loads! Includes Sensational PHONO stage for turntable, user-switched for HOMC or MM cartridges MONO button remedies early stereo recordings, where vocals are one side and music the other. (RUBBER SOUL) Front HEADPHONE socket offers fantastic sound quality LOUDNESS button boosts frequency extremes, invaluable for quiet listening and headphones BALANCE dial, centres image in odd shaped rooms BASS and TREBLE dials tweak sound without altering critical mid-range balance. SOFT CLIPPING switch limits output peaks, to protect speakers Not to be confused with later (lesser) 3020 models, the NAD 3020A – offered here – is considered the very best of all the 3020s. With minor circuit tweaks applied by the factory, 3020A is distinguished by the sought-after transformer and flat rear shelf. This is the one!
