Tandberg Preamp

[Joe08867]

Any of you guys have experience with Tandberg Pre's?

I was looking around ebay and saw a Tandberg 3002A that looked interesting.

I know it's probably nothing special just wondering.

PS I am not in the market for a pre. I like what I have right now.

No experience with said unit but Tandberg made some solid products back in the day.

That's what I thought.

My thought is to maybe try something that might have been missed by the audiophiles of the world.

Being European I believe they had a stronger following across the pond.I do remember reading some positive reviews of the 3000 series products .

That is a profound understatement. Their cassette decks, reel to reel decks, tuners and receivers were in their time among the very best available, period. I would expect the 3002 to be well-made and very respectable, although not as in-demand as the aforementioned Tandberg products.

The 3002A is really not worth much, the only 'A' gear worth anything is their tape decks, the A amps and preamps were nothing special at all and Tandberg knew it. Now their older receivers were da Bomb

I'd love to find one of the acrylic cased 2075's with some plexi cab Pioneer HPM-100's!!

umm, the 3xxx"A" tuners are pretty sought-after (and not inexpensive).
