NAD 1300

The NAD 1300 was designed for the technically sophisticated audiophile who requires both state-of-the-art sound and a high degree of operating flexibility.

For listeners who are committed to the LP as an important source of music, the 1300 contains a high-definition FET-input phono preamplifier with excellent sound-stage imaging and astonishing resolution of inner detail.

No trace of slew-limiting or transient distortion can be found, even in high-level signal peaks 25 dB above normal level.

Selectable input capacitance and precise RIAA equalisation ensure that the sound of each recording is accurately preserved.

Using eight selected low-noise transistors per channel, this MM phono circuit provides unusually effective rejection of radio-frequency interference from nearby digital circuits, cordless phones, and radio/TV transmitters.

It is supplemented by an elegantly simple class-A preamplifier that provides quieter play-back with low-output moving-coil pick-ups than most preamps provide with a high-output MM cartridge phono input.
