Against the recent AUD comparables, A$250 sits a bit above the median A$217 and below the 75th percentile A$258, so this reads as a fair-to-slightly-strong asking price rather than a bargain. It’s not cheap enough to call an outright steal, but it is still comfortably inside the normal used range for this class of NAD integrated.
The 304 has a good reputation for a clean, muscular, no-drama presentation, with enough current to make sensible speakers come alive without sounding fussy. If it’s been kept tidy and sounds quiet at idle, the value is in the straightforward ownership experience: solid musicality, simple layout, and the kind of dependable older NAD charm that still earns a following.

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.
