Tandberg Preamp

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.

Tandberg info galore at:

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 :cool:

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).
