THIS LISTING IS FOR REPAIR/ SERVICE OF YOUR NAD 3020 SERIES
YOU WILL NEED TO BUY THE SERVICE AND SEND YOUR UNIT TO US.

We take the following approach to servicing:

Disassemble case

Remove all dust and debris from the circuit board

Deep clean the circuit board with least invasive cleaning agents possible

Check power cord and chassis earthing

Check fuses are of correct value and clean fuse holders

Clean signal, loudspeaker and headphone connectors

Clean / lubricate pots and switches using best quality materials (ESL)

Carefully inspect all components for signs of damage, malfunction or overheating

Replace minor suspect components as required and consult on major issues

Desolder all electrolytic capacitors and replace with uprated equivalents

Copper foil coat electrolytics which are subject to stressful heat environments

Double-check polarity of all replaced capacitors

Gradually raise mains voltage with variac and current limiter in series

Rectify any detected issues

Check bias + zero offset and adjust as required

Inject test signals and validate performance

Burn in for 24 hours and retest

Clean case and control knobs / buttons

Reassemble case and polish

The result is an amp which is possibly better than new, given the improved quality of the components used, which retains the classic musical sound it is famous for and will give decades more pleasure to its owner.

We can service / recap any of the 3020 series amplifiers and related models, such as the 3120, 1020, 7020e, etc. Simply order above, let us know the address from which you’d like your amp collected and we’ll send you a UPS courier label. Please pack carefully and mark ‘fragile / do not drop’. We’ll return the serviced amp to the same address.
