Why NAD's Flagship 3155 Integrated Looked Like a 1980s Budget Amp, But Didn't Sound Like One

In this episode, Mike and David remember NAD's top integrated from 1985 to 1987 – the 3155. A symphony in sombre grey paint, its unassuming case hides a powerhouse of a Class AB amplifier that sounds like a 3020 on steroids. That means sweet, warm, expansive and punchy. The guys agree that it's a delight, and wonder why it's largely been forgotten. Each episode of Hi-Fi Riff features Mike and David's unedited, unexpurgated views about all manner of weird and wonderful hi-fi designs. Business executive Mike has a wealth of knowledge from previous hi-fi retail experience, and David has written about hi-fi for thirty years. Now Editor-in-Chief of StereoNET, he's picked up a few things along the way. So relax and enjoy some one-take hi-fi riffing – and please leave your comments below.
