Naim 300 Series Open Day - November 25th! Timed Demos So Please Book Your Slot ASAP!

Hi Everyone,

Well this is a first, in 11 years of HFL we have never had 2 open days from the same manufacturer in the same year but then it is such big news when Naim bring out 2 new ranges months apart that we are delighted to have our 2nd Naim open day in 2023, this time showcasing the new 300 Series system, which all I can say really does sound excellent, we’ve had it running for a couple of months now so it is well and truly run in.

The Days Plan

So whereas the Naim open day earlier in the year focused on the new 3 box 200 Series this time the open day will be running through all different permutations there are with the new Classic ranges, so starting with a 2 box system comprising of the NSC 222 + NAP 250 then working through every variation till we end up with a full 6 box 300 series running, this will really show the context and sound upgrades of each step change which actually will be really interesting to hear.

We will be running the PMC Fact.12 Signatures on this system as I know for the 200 Series event the speakers we ran weren’t for everyone but our most popular combo is Naim with PMC so I know everyone will love the sound for this day.

Book your slot

The above demo will last around 90 minutes and will be run by Mark Raggett, who many of you will know and has been at Naim for many, many years with Darren here also who many of you would have met for the 200 Series launch event, there will also be a Q&A session and also Mark will run through how to mix the legacy Naim equipment with the new kit where Naim give the cables required to make this work for free, which can be worth 100’s of pounds.

This is bound to be a popular event as all Naim events are, we will be running 3 timed slots, 10.30am, 12.30pm and 2.30pm so if you would like to come along please can you send me a mail to the below with your favoured time slot, thanks -

Free Power-Line Draw

Also Naim have kindly given us one of their Power-Line Mains cables (worth £649) to give away on the day so for everyone that registers we will do a draw on the Saturday morning so we can give that to the lucky winner when they come in.

Final bits

We will also have our upstairs demo room running with the limited edition Nait 50 integrated amp which is such a cool idea where Naim revisited their Nait one form 1983 and basically did a continuation of it to celebrate their 50th anniversary and as usual we will have refreshments available, please find a link below to Naim on our website -

Bentley With Naim In Car Audio

We are hopeful that Bentley will be bringing one of their cars along which will be kitted out with a full Naim system which we will park outside for anyone to jump in and have a blast, I have heard this before and considering this is car audio it is pretty incredible so will be a great opportunity.

PMC Prodigy Open Day!

Finally just a quickie to say that on December 9th we are having our final open day of the year, we’ve certainly done a lot of open days this year which have all been great fun, this one is to showcase the new PMC Prodigy speakers, these are a new entry level PMC which really do punch above their weight, we will run the Prodigy 1 bookshelf’s upstairs with the Prodigy 5 floorstanders downstairs then in the High-End room we’ll get the mighty Fenestria’s singing so if you’d like to come to this also just fire me over a quick mail.

Phew, I think that covers everything and I look forward to seeing you on the 25th November for our Naim 300 Series event and on the 9th for our PMC Prodigy event.

All the best,

Regards,

Paul.

This is my review of the Vertere Redline RCA interconnect.  I’ve had the pleasure of listening through Veretere’s Redline range previously with my Naim NAC-N 272 to a NAP 250 and also with the recent review with the Naim Supernait 3 and their ND5 XS2.  On both occasions, I have been very impressed with the improvement in my system because the cables are so clean.  The Vertere philosophy is to let the cable deliver the signal as clean as possible and this philosophy understands cables can add nothing to the outcome, only stand aside from the process.  This Vertere Redline RCA has delivered the same outcome as the Vertere Naim..

Naim 200 Series Unboxing + On Demo Pictures!

Hi Everyone,

Well as I thought they would, the new Naim 200 Series components have certainly been getting plenty of attention since we came back and rightly so as it is all extremely good, we have already sold a fair bit of it with demo's booked for a listen which is all fantastic news and a great start to 2023.

It has been quite a while since we did any unboxing pictures and I thought that if ever any products deserve it then these are it, especially as Naim have taken so much care and thought into how the new 200 Series components are packed so here we go, please find a few pics below and it goes without saying if you'd like to come in for a listen please feel free.

Cheers,

Paul.

BIG NEWS! Introducing the New Naim 200 Series, On Demo Now!

Hi All,

Firstly Happy New Year, hope everyone is ready for a great 2023 and what better way to start the year than a pretty big announcement from Naim introducing their brand new 200 Series which is basically a new Classic range, the first for around 20 years, yes Naim don't change their kit very often but then when the existing range performed so well and sold across the world as well as it did then I guess it was always going to be difficult to replace and improve on it but here we are at the start of 2023 with 3 new components that looks to take Naim to the next Level.

So what do we have here, firstly the NSC 222, which for those that know Naim is a new and improved version of the extremely popular NAC-272 from a few years ago, there has been so much demand for this product over the years, so it is basically a streaming Preamp, DAC, Phono Stage and Headphone Amp, just add an amp and speakers and off you go. Talking of amps next we have the new iconic NAP 250, first introduced in 1975 and this is now its 6th generation and the most powerful with 100 watts per channel, and finally to complete the new trio we have the NPX 300 which is a power supply for the NSC 222 to take its performance to the next level by disabling the internal power supply of the NSC 222 which in turn lowers the noise floor substantially.

These come in at £5700 a box, so in these crazy times we live in of constant price rises I would say they are very fairly priced for the build and performance you get.

Billy and I were lucky enough to visit Naim in Salisbury last month to get the overview and have a good listen to these new components and I have to say they really are very impressive, firstly they look stunning, still Classic Naim but with an up to date twist, in line with the more modern Statement, Uniti and Solstice designs, yes this is Naim Classic with a white Naim logo, not green as is has been forever, that is certainly going to get some attention from the Naim community. They really do look quite stunning but as ever with Naim it is the sound quality that really pulls you in, there really is a lot of trickle down technology from Statement in here, for the first time ever Naim is supporting XLR balanced terminations so it can all be easily integrated into other systems. Without sounding too enthusiastic I have to say I was really, really impressed with what I heard, you've still got the Naim PRAT that has always made it stand out in the crowd but it just seemed more insightful and even more engaging than before, if that is at all possible, very impressive, I'm sure it was quite challenge for the Naim design team to move the Classic range on but they really have nailed it in looks, features, design and audio performance I would say.

Now On Demo

We got our demo NSC 222, NAP 250 and NPX 300 delivered yesterday so will be busy setting it all up today in our Naim demo room, we will get it all running on our Focal Scala Utopia Evo's as these are the speakers that Naim use in their demo room in Salisbury that we heard it on and impressed so much so will be great to get that all up and running today.

Naim Open Day - March 25th

A date for everyone's diary as we will be having an open day with Naim to showcase the new range on March 25th so please put that in your calendar now as that is sure to be a busy one, our Naim open days always are a real highlight, more info nearer the time.

I just want to say that is great to have these new bits from Naim, there is so much love for the outgoing Classic range, and rightly so, but I know people have been waiting and wondering when and what Naim will do next, well here we are, we now have the new Classic 200 Series and I can't wait to start demoing it our customers, if you'd like to be one of the first to experience it please feel free to get in touch to book an appointment and any questions how you may be able to incorporate it into your existing Naim system please don't hesitate to ask.

Please find some more info below -

All the best for 2023,

Paul.

Naim Open Day March 25th, Introducing The New Classic 200 Series!

Hi Everyone,

Firstly thanks to everyone who came to our Wilson Audio Open day and helped make it such a success, it was certainly a busy one, now on to another of our most popular brands, and rightly so, time for a Naim Audio open day on March 25th to introduce their new Classic 200 Series.

This really was big news when announced earlier this year as it has been around 20 years since Naim have launched a new range and have to say it has been extremely popular since launch, replacing the outgoing Classic range certainly was no easy task as it still sounded brilliant but Naim really have nailed it with this new design, one on visuals but more importantly on sound quality, it is a real step up compared to what went before.

Open Day Details

For those who don't know Naim Launched 3 new boxes in January, the NSC 222 Streaming Preamp, the new Nap 250 Power Amp and the NPX 300 Power Supply to power the NSC 222 as an upgrade, for the open day we will have all 3 playing in our Naim room with a pair of the Focal Scala Utopia Evo speakers, which actually is a great sounding combo, Naim representatives will be on hand throughout the day to answer any questions and we will be running 3 presentations throughout the day where the development story, what's new and other info will be discussed + there will be a Q+A at the end, this is a bit different to our normal open days where it is more of a open house but to get the best from the day it made sense to break it down to time slots but obviously please feel free to stay as long as you like as we will have our other demo rooms kitted out and playing music with various Naim kit.

RSVP Please

We will run 3 time slots where I guess we can get 10 people in each sitting so if you can let me know your preference on the below timings to my email address below that will be much appreciated, as normal we will have food and drink available throughout the day.

Slot 1 - 10.30am

Slot 2 - 1pm

Slot 3 - 3pm

Please mail me at - paul@hifilounge.co.uk

Our Naim open days are always extremely popular so please register asap so not to miss out, please find a link to the new range on our website below -

Many thanks and look forward to seeing you on the day.

Regards,

Paul.

Other related news, Chord 300/222 Burndy's on Demo - I just wanted to quickly add that Chord Cables have produced a couple of Burndy cables, based on their top end Music cable, to run from the new NPX 300 to the NSC 222, I demoed these a couple of weeks ago as I was a little sceptical to be honest but was pleasantly surprised at the difference they made, it really wasn't subtle, so I bought a pair for demo, if anyone would like to borrow them to try in their system if they already have a 222/300 combo please just let me know and we can get that arranged or feel free to come in the shop to compare against Naim's supplied Burndy's.

This is another short look at Vertere’s new Vertere Redline Cable range. You may recall as a regular visitor that I received a 5 pin DIN to 5 pin DIN as an upgrade to the Naim provided SNAIC between a Supernait 3 and a Naim ND5 XS2 streamer. The result was quite an uplift and it surprised me enough to inquire more about this remarkable cable.  Since this revelation, I have received a 4 pin DIN to XLR Vertere Redline Cableupgrade between my own NAC-N 272 and my NAP 250 (not DR, yet!).

Throughout my time with HF&MS over the last 10 years, I have come round firmly to the view many share which is that each piece of HiFi equipment is best focusing on just one job. For example, a CD player just being a transport only, a DAC being just a DAC, a preamplifier just organising and preparing the analogue signal, and so on. It is my view that a power amplifier just being the main engine in a system is the perfect way to drive speakers, so much so I bought a Naim NAP 250 a few years back and I have never looked back. If I had seen a..
