With my latest purchase a Nad C316BEE V2 i no have 2 of the same amps but different age, atleast it should be.
Not like the one from 1978 and 20-25 years older but the model from the early 1990's and the 2017 model
Is the tru modern version of the 3020 the C316BEE or D3020?
The earlier almost 10 year old Nad C316BEE had no phono stage, now it does (havn't tested it on the V2) even for the same price and still with a remote control as the older 3020(a.b.e.i) didn't have.
How do they sound ?
Both have for there size and price lots of power and a to the darker side of neutral sound with a good bass, one thing i notice is that they won't flatter you with a bright extreme open,clear needle sharp in your face sound, sort of, i could listen to music for hours with no listening fattigue with the nad amp.
It's the budget amp choice of steve guttenberg https://www.cnet.com/news/nads-overachieving-budget-audiophile-amplifier/
Nad D3020 vs 3020 https://darko.audio/2014/01/nad-d-3020-review-part-1-vs-nad-3020i/
The old 3020 (i know, steve guttenberg again) https://www.cnet.com/news/nad-3020-vintage-hi-fi-that-still-sounds-great/
So back to my question,reason for creating a new topic
Is new hifi always better than the original? Shouldn't most people assume that the new Nad C316BEE V2 is a better amp than it's more than 25 year+ brother,sister, alone because of the age difference? (not so much if the old amp works which mine does and there for won't sound like crap because it's old and used)
Mostly something like the nad 3020 vs the D3020,C316BEE or the old technichs sl-1210 turntable vs the new one, the kef, roger ls3/5a vs one of the many look a likes,rebrands from chartwell,harbarth, im shure there is a few other look a likes rebrand of the classic BBC ls3/5a monitor.
Could also have been something like an older porsche 911 vs a new 911 or the old rolling stones vs the new rolling stones (personally i do prefer the old queen over the new queen and i do like the old deep puple, how ever pink floyd and ac/dc is always good no matter how old it is)
Which would you prefere the original or the new version? (no particular model,product, just a would you prefer the old original og the new version)
