Naim NAC-N272
These two new Naim products are revolutionary and offer power, grip and musical performance at half the price of previous Naim incarnations.
Linn took a lead on Naim with streaming music but boy have Salisbury caught up!.
The Naim NAC-N272 is a combined streamer and self-powered pre-amplifier. It is outstanding and, like the new NAP250DR power amplifier, stunned us even fresh out of the box and not run in. It sounds just right. Musical, natural and involving.
Just as important is the absolutely stunning new NAP 250 DR.
The Naim NAP 250 is one of the most iconic Hi-Fi products ever made and has set an industry standard since first launched back in the 1970’s. Since then there have been changes and improvements in performance but nothing prepared us for this new incarnation. It uses Naim’s recently developed DR (Discrete Regulator) technology allied to the new NA009 output transistor. This is revolutionary and was especially and expensively developed for the flagship £150,000.00 Naim Statement amplifier. The combination of these two technologies results in a power amplifier that set’s a totally new standard of performance in its sector. More powerful but at the same time more delicate with a noise floor 40 times lower than previous models it massively builds on the earlier versions performance with no flaws or compromise. The NAP 250 DR substantially outperforms not just the older 250 and 135’s but even last year’s NAP 300 and is less than half the price.
This combination is attractive as it does all of this in only two (very heavy) boxes. For some of our loyal Naim owners this low box count could be an interesting direction to take, especially if considering streaming.
