Awesome receiver. That NAD 3020 sound – plus excellent AM/FM.
Good condition – casing suffers the ‘NAD Poxs’ just as all the earlier NAD did – it’s a spotting to the paint work. Not an issue & only on the top & sides. It’s a NAD thing….
Checked out. Cleaned, voltages checked – nice amp. No sign of past repair or repair required. A good un’
Great range in inputs: CD, Video, Tape, & Phono (lovely phono stage BTW). Add Bluetooth connectivity – $64.00
Can use as preamplifier or integrated amplifier.
The ‘i’ (improved) variant is the last of the 3020/7020 models – basically the same as the original ‘20’ design, however NAD identified a thermal issue when using 4ohm speaker sets. The ‘i’ model introduced a selectable mode switch – either 8 ohm or 4 ohm – this effectively decreases current when in 4ohm mode to prevent high temperatures being created within the amp. Improvements made to the power rectifier circuit – just a standard – ‘hmm we could do that better’ change that you get with later models.
Other changes in the ‘i’ are speaker connectors upgraded to banana plug types.
