NAD 3020, NAD1020

NAD 3020 BASIC FIXED PRICE OVERHAUL (plus 3120,3220/3225 /1020 and all i/E/A/B variants) - £179

(Note - not 7020 receiver)

​

The second most popular amplifier seen here at ARS with almost 300 examples having passed through the workshop to date (May 26). As well as repairing any faults all common problem areas are checked for and rectified under the basic fixed price repair, in particular all controls (tone, volume, switches etc) are all carefully cleaned and lubricated to return them to a serviceable noise and crackle free condition and treated to deter future deterioration.  For discerning owners this is one of the most comprehensive overhauls offered anywhere and each overhaul usually spans a full day on the workbench  (price includes return carriage to a mainland UK address)

 

​​​Additional Options to above:

FULL REPLACEMENT OF ELECTROLYTICS - £55

Uses high quality Nichicon electrolytics tailored as appropriate to postion and use within the amplifier (e.g temp. lifetime etc)  

If your NAD makes odd noises or hums loudly it is usually a good indication that a number of electrolytics have failed in which case this option is recommended. In particular those blue/violet electrolytics used have a very poor tolerance indeed compared to modern replacements.   Restore the sound of your tired old NAD 3020 to one as good as the day it left the factory !

​

INSTALLATION OF IMPROVED SPEAKER TERMINALS - £49

A number of customers have enquired in the past about an alternative to the cheap inadequate spring terminals which this modification solves.  High quality UK manufactured screw terminal binding posts which also take 4mm banana plugs are installed in parallel with the existing terminals.

REPLACEMENT RCA SOCKETS - £45

The original RCA sockets used by NAD didn't adhere very well to the actual RCA sizing standards.

As a result many plugs are such a tight fit that plugging in/out eventually tears the socket

away from the PCB. These replacements overcome this issue and mate far better to RCA 

plugs used. Additionally red inserts are used to identify the right channel inputs and white for

left channel as this can be confusing as designed by NAD.
