New Naim Classic Power Amplifier Upgrades

/



Audio T Brighton are very much looking forward to having the newly updated Naim Classic
Power Amps in store and on demonstration. We are led to believe the DR upgrades throughout
the series including the NAP200DR, and upgraded new NA009 transistors for the NAP250DR,
NAP300DR & NAP500DR provide a significant performance upgrade. These new versions of the
Naim Classic range are released in June, with the NAP500DR due in August.

Details below from Naim...

Upgrades will be available for existing owners of the NAP 250, NAP 300 and NAP 500 power amplifiers from late 2015, early 2016. Only new style product with 'tryptych' casework will be upgradeable; older 'Olive Series' style amplifiers will not be compatible. More information regarding the servicing process will be made available in due course.

Statement Technology

Last year we launched our most ambitious product yet. Statement, our flagship amplification system, was over ten years in the making. Designed and crafted without compromise, it offers the pinnacle of Naim musical performance.

Now we are able to bring two core Statement technologies to bear on our core range of power amplifiers, improving substantially their ability to convey the fundamental qualities of music, creating a deeper and more intense listening experience.

Naim DR (Discrete Regulator) Technology  

Naim DR technology was first introduced to our separate range of power supplies in 2012. It was then applied to our flagship Statement amplification system and adapted to handle the higher current demands. Now we have introduced the benefits of this technology to our core range of power amplifiers, providing the smooth, stable and low-noise power supply we know is vital to audio performance.

NA009 Transistors

The new Naim NA009 power transistor is the product of a year long research project in collaboration with a specialist semi-conductor manufacturer. It delivers advantages in material properties, thermal stability and die matching over the previous reference, together with being a higher power device. First introduced to our flagship Statement NAP S1 power amplifier, this technology will now benefit the rest of our core range of Classic and 500 Series power amplifiers.

In addition to these two new technologies the circuit board designs in all of the power amplifiers have been revisited, which alongside further small improvements to transistor mounting and heat-sinking, delivers substantial gains in performance.

Record Store Day

New Naim Super Lumina cable range announced at last.......

/

Naim introduce up market Super Lumina cables

Having used the Super Lumina 5 Din to 5 Din interconnect since early in December at home, and had the chance to listen to the Super Lumina speaker leads I can attest to a major improvement to any previous cables I have heard !

And they look rather beautiful too.


Available in various configuration of interconnects, Naim pre - power amp leads, and loudspeaker cables.
If you have a really good system, and are interested in gaining better results, give us a call to arrange a demonstration.

Or simply treat yourself !

Due for introduction early February.

And don't forget the Naim Powerline mains leads as these also contribute a worthwhile improvement.

Power Amplifier

Naim power amplifiers are designed to drive real loudspeaker loads and can easily deal with any impedance from zero Ohms to infinity without damage or signs of instability. All our power amplifiers feature heavyweight power supplies and can swing huge amounts of current so they are never caught out by dynamic transients. Many models benefit from technology that has trickled down from the massive amount of development work that produced the majestic NAP 500.

 

 

Focal Aria 948 Speakers - May The Flax Be With You

/

Well it is that time of year again when you have a little more time to play with some of those new toys you had in when things were busier.

Enter the Focal Aria 948, a Naim Superuniti and an iPad accessing our Naim HDX cd collection. Our first impressions, even before hitting the play button, were these speakers mean business. We felt the Aria 926 looked impressive but these, a little bigger all round , really do look like they are built for purpose and that being to transport you into a world of 24 hour party people! and if, hopefully, the neighbours are away to rattle their windows into submision.

Saying all of this with whatever music we played they sounded fantastic, bags of detail without any harshness and bass that goes deep but remains firmly under control, in fact the only things out of control were our feet tapping away from track to track, what fun! this is a system we all felt we could happily live with.

Not content with this though we swapped the Superuniti for a Naim NDX, 202 pre amp and 200 power amp, one word, WOW! and we had to stop ourselves just to keep from continually turning it up.

These are fantastic speakers, ones that really respond to system improvements and even though they are on the larger side they will work very well in the average size living room but if you are able to use them in a bigger room with more space around them, I'd suggest you hang on tightly to your hat and any small pets that are in the room with you.

Come in and have a listen.

Matt from the Chord Company will be joining us for a day of cable madness at Audio T Brighton

From the faily humble Crimson leads to the frankly exotic Sarum Tuned Aray interconnects and speaker cables, this is a marvellous opportunity to gauge just how important cables can be in a Hi-Fi system.
