A used NAD PP2i at US$150 is fair to slightly firm, not a bargain; the model launched around US$99 new in Europe and the broader PP2/PP2e family has commonly traded in roughly the US$70–US$150 zone used, so this listing is sitting near the top of the normal range rather than below it. At this price, I’d want it clean, fully working, and preferably with the original PSU.
The upside is that the PP2i is a respected, no-nonsense MM/MC phono stage with a good reputation for quiet, competent playback and easy system matching. It’s a sensible buy if you want a compact external phono box without chasing audiophile drama, but at US$150 the value hinges on condition and included accessories more than on scarcity.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
NAD Electronics was founded in 1972 in London by a group of European audio importers frustrated with the hype surrounding Japanese hi-fi products. Led by visionary American executive Martin L. Borish and brilliant engineer Bjorn Erik Edvardsen, the company emerged from a quest to deliver high-performance audio at accessible prices. Their breakthrough came with the NAD 3020 integrated amplifier, the best-selling hi-fi amp in history, which embodied a philosophy of stripping away non-essentials to prioritize pure sound quality.
The brand focuses on core hi-fi categories, excelling in amplifiers—pioneering Class A/B, Class G, and hybrid digital designs—alongside integrated receivers, AV processors, turntables, CD and cassette players, and modern streamers. While not venturing into speakers, headphones, or cables, NAD emphasizes source components and amplification that integrate seamlessly into home theater and custom installation setups, always upholding principles of innovation, simplicity, performance, and value.
Today, as part of Canada's Lenbrook Group and sold in over 80 countries, NAD holds a commanding mid-tier position in the market, revered by audiophiles for affordable excellence rather than ultra-high-end excess. Its "Truth in Power" legacy earns cult status among knowledgeable buyers seeking reliable, award-winning gear that punches above its price, blending vintage heritage with contemporary streaming and hybrid tech.
