Are you looking for a versatile phono stage rather than the absolute last word in refinement? At £100, this sits just above the £84 median and below the £106 75th percentile from 32 comparable listings, so it’s a fair-to-slightly-strong price rather than a bargain. It would be more attractive with the original 24V power supply and confirmed working condition.
The PP 2 remains a sensible, compact choice because it offers separate switchable MM and MC inputs, useful gain, low noise, and straightforward connection to an amplifier without a phono stage. Its fixed MC loading suits many medium-output cartridges, while the MM section is a dependable match for common moving-magnet cartridges. Check that the wall-wart is included, the selector operates cleanly, and both channels are quiet; assuming those basics are covered, £100 is defensible for a well-kept example.
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.
