Article is big and new enough, hook is in there and referenced. hook is interesting. No plagiarism found. Good to go. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:27, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
The hook itself is a clear copyvio: compare "quickly became the most famous and sold amplifier in the history of hi-fi" in the article (all but the first two words from the article are repeated in the hook) vs. FN2's "quickly became the most famous and sold amplifier in the history of HiFi"—the sole difference is the spelling of "hi-fi". There are also closely paraphrased phrases from other sources, for example "extremely expensive turntables to show their potential" vs. FN3's "extremely expensive turntables to show its potential".

The source for the "best-selling amplifier in the history of hi-fi" claim is from 1998; that's fifteen years ago. Records are broken all the time; is there a much more recent source with this information, or even a current one? BlueMoonset (talk) 16:24, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
I guess will have to use Alt1:
- Alt1: ... that NAD 3020 (pictured) sold a record 1.1 million units in its lifetime, excluding not inconsiderable sales of designs derived from it? -- Ohc ¡digame! 02:20, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- Alt2: ... that even after excluding derivative designs the NAD 3020 amplifier (pictured) still sold over a million units? - simpler? Victuallers (talk) 12:18, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
- I have rechecked this against the main source for paraphrasing and found no issues apart from the two quotes which are labelled as such. OK for me Victuallers (talk) 11:19, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
