Sorry, spent years wondering about this, finally remembered to post on the subject.
For years I've read comments in the press about how the Nad integrates were "audiophile" (whatever that means) and very minimalist in their circuits.
To me, I think "minimalist", I think of an on-off switch, volume control and input selector.
I look at a Nad and I see stuff like balance, tone, sub-sonic filters blah blah blah.
Am I missing something here?
BTW, I'm not trying to pass comment on the ability of a Nad amp, just the perception that the press seem to have of them.
For all that, in the eons of time, I did listen to a Nad 3020 and ended up buying a Quantam IA100 integrated, which was roughly the same price and IMO sounded a LOT better.
