NAD 60

The NAD 60 is a solid-state power amplifier, and not much is documented about it. What survives is consistent. Three independent sources agree it delivered 25 watts per channel into 8 ohms, with distortion typically around 0.02% at rated output. Power consumption was rated at 93W.

The most useful description comes from a Retro Audio piece that calls the 60 the "smaller sibling of the classic NAD 3020 integrated amplifier" - essentially the 3020's power section in a separate chassis, "the NAD 60 power amp in all but name." That makes sense. The 3020 was renowned for its modest but gutsy delivery, and the 60 appears cut from the same cloth. It was a compact, minimalist unit with no tone controls, described as a "gutsy, nononsense amplifier." It had just two RCA inputs and a single pair of speaker outputs.
