It's usual practice not to mix Naim pres and power amps with other gear. This isn't only due to the way that their power supplies and cables are configured, but all sorts of other EE reasons like impedance matching blah blah blah. I've run a hybrid system in the past (only cd player and speakers weren't Naim) and in the end I too gave in and converted all the way.
Try anything from the Nait line if you want a low-cost entry into the line without breaking the bank. You can also use any Nait as a preamp if you do decide to take the plunge and start upgrading the system.

There are also the Naim forums, but watch out for pretentious middle-aged farts and their rather lofty opinions (and budgets)
