Here is a review of the Edge amp from 2011 Edge 10.2 Power Amplifier The best sounding solid-state amp that has ever been in my system. Review By Tom Lyle The amp was priced at over $17K.
Vintage NAD 3045 Stereo Integrated Amplifier, one of the very few NAD amps that comes with power meter and made in Japan ...
I've had a video clip of this amp being assembled on my YouTube channel for a couple years and it generates the most heated debates of anything I ever posted. All the usual polarized love/hate for tube vs. SS. It's an interesting video nonetheless:
I saw the youtube: the way the transformer is housed and the PCB give me a lot of reservations for this amp ...
Yeah, those were the days when all NAD gears were made in Japan. How is your NAD 3020 working these days? What kind of maintenance have you done over the past thirty years or so on the unit?
I've owned it for about a year or so now. I'm the 2nd owner, I conversed with its original owner and he told me its had nothing at all done to it, never been recapped. I'm a firm believer if it isn't broken then why fix it. The pots are are all clean, if it does give me troubles in the future I'll take it to London where a full clean up can be undertaken.
I have NAD gears from the 80's and 90's but have bought only a CDP after 2000 and the CDP was part of the NAD premier line. I stopped buying NAD gears over a decade ago ...
