NAD 3020

The 3020 was born almost 20 years ago,
between '78 and 79, and quickly became the most famous and sold
amplifier in the history of HiFi.
It was ugly, cheap and with a poor level of finishing, the components
used were fair but, clearly, the man behind its design knew what he was
doing pretty well.
The NAD 3020 had a claimed power rating of 28 watts @ 8 Ohms (20-20
KHz), an extremely well designed phono stage (only a little bit noisy)
very good driving capabilities even under heavy loads (till 3 Ohms!) all
inside a cabinet designed with the clear wish to save costs.
It had tone controls, loudness (it was a must at the time),
pre-out/main-in connectors, anti-clipping circuit and 5 red leds as
power output indicator.



The Sound of twenty years ago



The NAD 3020 is one of those amplifiers that you can detect into an hifi system just at a first listening.
It is indeed very peculiar: it sounds warm and a bit dark though the mid range is still clear and detailed.
It does have a certain roll-off in the highs, which is (was) very, very welcomed with cheap loudspeakers of that time.
It is the kind of sound that is easy to enjoy, even for hours and hours.
Of course you should avoid to ask too much: after all it is a little 20
watter, it can't play miracles!
It has a sweet and sensual mid range, very enjoyable and natural,
especially with voices: a bit of the feeling of the best HiFi amplifiers
around. Incredible, for that price.

Asking price: RM 850
Condition: Mint
