comments on Naim Audio


I am considering the purchase of a system made up entirely of Naim Audio equipment. I would appreciate any comments regarding your experience, pro or con, with Naim equipment.

The 32.5 & 72 are the best value for money/sound etc.
I have both plus a NAC82. I have 821A Avondale boards, as well. The 82 is powered by 2 Hi-Caps. The 32.5 & 72 by 1 Hi-Cap. Front end is CD5 with Hi-Cap p/s. & LP12/Ittok/Karma.
Back end MK2 SBL,s. The 82 has far too much gain for the CD input, such that I have tried up to 18db attentuation to get it right. The 32.5 & 72 are just about perfect, with or without the 821A boards. Power Amps are 135,s, 250 & 180.
I can confirm that the 180 sounds as good as the other more expensive 2 options. Even when used to power the 32.5 & 72 on it,s own. So go for the 32/72 with the latest version boards inside & buy a NAP180 to drive it. All leads are Naim BTW.
