Hi John,
I'm a "pull of the cover & look inside" guy & my NAD 3300 is a
very clean design, well routed wiring & a minimum of it. Parts I don't
recognize as quality but they don't "look" cheap. Transformer is huge &
heavy; controls feel solid, to those who've used them. I can't look at
the back but I'm sure it's Europe design, SE Asia built. Recommended by
my audiophile friends as a great sounding 60 watt intergrated amp. With
3 db of headroom, it'll get my Polks very loud very quick. After 10 years
it now has a "leaky" transister (I'm told) with a bit of noise in right
channel. Probably from when I tried to hard wire my speaker cables to
it. We'll see.
TTYL.........Will
