This is a fair ask, though not a bargain: A$260 sits above the A$200 median of nine comparable listings, but remains below the A$288 75th percentile. It is reasonable if the unit is complete and working, rather than an obvious buy at this price given the unknown condition.
The PP4 is a genuinely useful little phono stage, supporting both MM and MC cartridges with low-noise RIAA amplification, while adding USB digitisation for vinyl or line-level sources such as cassette decks. Its adjustable recording level and compact format are practical strengths, and the included USB cable or VinylStudio software would add value. Before paying A$260, confirm the power supply, RCA and USB operation, selector switches, and that the unit is quiet; the 16-bit/48 kHz capture section is convenient rather than state-of-the-art.
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.
