I read that Matti Otala used to be their designer before he designed the earliest Electrocompaniet stuff.

Longplate	Back in the early 80s I had a Tandberg 3001A (think that was the model) pre-amp that was super sounding. This pre was super quiet and with my Denon 301-302 cartridges was the best vinyl playback I've ever had. In the late 70s the 2075? receiver was beautiful and sounded pretty darn good. The Tandberg I heard in the mid to late 80s didn't quite juice my lizard.

The 3001A was a tuner, not a pre-amp, and one of the best ever made. About 6 months ago, I sold off an example of its cheaper cousin, the 3011A, that was pretty unbelievable, too. I had two of the four generally-accepted candidates for "best tuner" ever (Day-Sequerra and Revox B261, the other two which I didn't have were the Tandberg 3001A and McIntosh MR78) and I think the 3011A was better than the Revox and could mostly hold its own with the Day-Sequerra.

Tandberg, I believe, still makes small lots of audio equipment -- but they have no official US importer or support but their old repair network still seems to be chugging along getting parts as needed directly from Norway. I think Avalon Audio still imports and sells their newest 4000 series of components.
