personally, I'd go for a newer amp. a long time ago, I had a NAD 3240PE which was a newer design than the 3020. That died, I tried to get it fixed but the repairer never fixed it and I eventually gave up chasing him.
Plenty of nice stuff around - maybe look at Cyrus , Rotel or Denon for an alternative to the NAD.
other than that, looks like a good selection.

Just hijacking this thread because it has some vintage hi-fi followers.
I'm looking to set up a half decent hi-fi system at home and was wondering what would be other people's go to for a combo of amp, speakers and record deck. I'd favour something with nice warm sound rather than super precise, and look is reasonably important.
Other contenders might be an AR A60 amp, and I like the look of Celestion Ditton speakers.
This is where I'd got to so far from looking at What Hi-Fi all time lists.
Amp: Nad 3020
Speakers: Wharfedale Linton 3xp
Record player: Rega Planar 3
Anyone got any insight as to whether these will sounds particularly good or bad together, and any suggestions for other units that might be a good combo? The Planar 3 seems to be a bit out of price proportion with the other two, so any suggestions for a different record player would be welcome.
