from Ebay Summary:
While I haven't used the NAD 412, I have used the NAD 402 for sometime and find it to be an excellent sounding piece of gear, with very respectable DX capablities.
The fact that it can be had for well under $100 in the present day (the tuner is about 12 -15 years old at this point) makes it an incredible bargain in my opinion, since the 402 has exudes the kind of warmth that makes it extremely pleasing to listen to for hours.
While it is not constructed nearly as well as some of the more esoteric tuners that I presently own, which include a ReVox B261 and McIntosh MR-65B, the 402 certainly holds its own soundwise.
I would highly recommend it to the any music lover who has come to the realization that the FM offers a tremendous source of free music that can compete favorably with other sources such as a turntable, CD player or tapedeck; especially when a station is doing a live broadcast where there's virtually no compression to the music.
The NAD offers tremendous value for your listening dollar, a clean visual appearance, and a simple enough ergonomic layout (once you get used to its ideosyncratic tuning arrangement.
Enjoy the music!
JimmyBlues Strengths:
Great sound and DX abilities for very little money. Weaknesses:
The backlight for the digital display burns out quickly enough on NAD products, however, from what I have read can be replaced inexpensively. The user can also just shine a flashlight at the display while tuning in their favorite 6 preset stations, which enables them to set the tuner up for long-term listening. Similar Products Used:
ReVox B261; McIntosh MR-65B; Marantz Model 125;Tandberg 3011A
