Jeg vil skryte litt av min NAD 3020.
Etter 25 glade og problemfrie år fortjener den såpass. Jeg lar andre stå for skrytet, her er det sakset litt fra gamle hifblader:
Finn M. Jensen og Holter Bak High Fidelity(DK) - Januar 1981
Om NAD 3020 koplet via normal inngangen altså slik den ble solgt.
Her fremstilles lydbilledet mer elegant og lækkert med en finkornethet, der sikrer en til stadighet bevaret musikalsk renhet og harmoni. Toneområderne hænger sammen på næsten perfekt måde, idet intet område får utpræget særbehandling, en særbehandling der ville kunne spolere helhetsindtrykket. Er der nemlig noget, som forsterkeren er god til, er det lige presis at gengive musikk som en sammenhængende og harmonisk helhet, og det sker ved at mærke på en måde, så svaghedspunkter aldrig opptræder dominerende eller ødeleggende. Tages de enkelte toneområder op til nærmere analyse, vil man let kunne finde forstærkere med mer præcis ekspansionsevne, mer impulsfast gengivelse i bassen, mer krystalklar gengivelse af detaljer osv., men disse forstærkere vil oftest ikke bevirke samme indtryk af ro og harmoni som NAD 3020

Det bestående intrycket är av ett rent, rakt och ofärgat ljud och ett slutsteg som skapats för unikt andvändbara effektressurser, trots de modesta, nominella watt talen

one of the fine amplifiers of our time.
sounded as loud and as clean as amplifiers of several times its power rating and price.
we deliberately created the most severe load condition we could devise. All four sets of speakers on our comparator hookup were connected in parallel to the output of the 3020. One of them had an impedance of only 3 ohms at the highest audio frequencies, and the parallel combination of the four would have an impedance as low as 1 ohm at many frequencies and rarely higher than 2 ohms. We could expect any amplifier, no matter how rugged, to distort severely, blow a fuse, or othervise indicate its displeasure at this callous abuse.
Evev when we drove the NAD 3020 to its maximum (lighting the 35 watt LED) there was no evidence of malfunction. The sound quality was not significantly degraded as compared with the sound with one pair of the speakers alone. Nothing blew out, although the amplifier became quite warm after a few minutes of this treatment (Abuot as warm as during the precondition period).
Unlikely as it may seem that an inexpensive, low-power amplifier can be a notable contribution to the audio art, the NAD 3020 can probably claim that honor. Its manufacturer set out to make an inexpensive amplifier that sounded as good and as clean as amplifiers of several times its power rating and price, and the 3020 certainly achieves that goal. In addition, as our test indicated, this little amplifier may actuakky be more powerful with certain severe speaker loads than some of the heavyweights on the market. So far as we are concerned, it it one of the best values in audio. It makes us wonder what a high-power NAD amplifier might be like.
