Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

As they would say on the Naim forum.....,"Horses for Courses"......

.....or, to each his own.

First, what speakers did you listen to?
What Naim "kit" did you hear?
What music do you like?

Naim has a fanatical following, but it is not for everyone. If Naim amplification is paired with the wrong speakers, the results will make your ears bleed. However, if you match the "right" speakers, you will rewarded with a highly satisfying experience.

Their cdps are all first-rate and can mate well with many other amps and pres now that rca outputs are all standard instead of the DIN connectors they tend to favor.

I have had a Naim 112/150 and CD5 then a CDX2/supercap with 250 amp and 282/hicap pre.

With Dynaudio Special 25s and Proacs, it sounded sweet. With my Merlins, it was harsh and abrassive.
