Brand: NAD
The NAD 5120 is an integrated amplifier from the Canadian audio company NAD, introduced in the late 1980s. It uses straightforwardcircuit design principles, known as the "NAD Sound mantra," which focuses on careful selection of high-quality components and minimalist, linear signal path, to deliver a clear, natural, and engaging sound. The "straight arm" designation refers to the lack of any external hybrid designs or add-ons, keeping the amplifier's signal path as pure and simple as possible. The 5120 also includes features like tremolo-style bass management, crossover networks for biwiring speakers, and input switching for connecting multiple sources. It is known for being a popular choice for audiophiles seeking high-quality sound at an affordable price point.
