WTB: Stereo amp (Nad, Rotel, Marantz etc)

[beed84]

I'm looking for a half-decent budget stereo amp and have a around £50-100 to spend. WHY?

Cheers

Very highly regarded old Amps

There's someone selling Cambridge Audio amps for 35 on gumtree (East Yorks or South Yorks, can't remember which). Buy an EQ amp and a power amp and he'll discount.

I'm east yorks and I've got a NAD 3020 (I think that's the model) it's sitting spare in the studio - £30 if it's any use to you?

You'll be fine with that. Love my NAD 3130.

The NAD 3020 was considered "the" amp to have [in the 1980s] if you could not afford an A&R A60 or a Naim Audio amp. IIRC the pre and power are joined by a brass link [one for each channel]. The word on the street is that a small but subtle sound improvement can be had by replacing these brass links with a short cable terminated each end with phono plugs. Enjoy your purchase my friend and wishing you many years good listening.
