With condition listed as unknown, US$230 is an ambitious ask: it sits well above the US$151 75th-percentile comparable and roughly twice the US$114 median. Unless this is unusually clean, complete, and freshly tested, there is little reason to pay that premium; a price nearer the typical market would be much more compelling.
The PP 2 remains a worthwhile little phono stage, particularly because it accommodates both moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges, with sensible loading and a quiet, clean presentation. Its compact design and external 24 V supply are practical, and the MC input adds useful flexibility. At US$230, though, the seller should substantiate the premium with excellent condition, the original power supply, and confirmed low-noise operation; otherwise, this is one to negotiate down or pass on.
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.
