NAD has introduced the new D 3020 V2 integrated amplifier, an improved version of its best-selling small-footprint amp. The new model has a different industrial design and, through popular request, a moving magnet (MM) phono stage to enhance the product's versatility.
NAD explains the V2's new MM input is designed to provide the highest levels of analog performance via its accurate RIAA equalization capabilities, low noise and infrasonic warp filter.
All of this … and a lower MSRP to boot. NAD has dropped the retail price from $499 to $399.
