Naim bits for sale

Darren @ Class A will certainly service the amps to Naim's standards, but dare I say that one can take them even further with higher grade components? These things are old enough now to be eminently up-gradeable by other experts, as can be done with vintage valve gear.

that £400 (that make it up to £2k) via the handy work of such people as les of avondale are, from what i understand, quite extraordinary .. i have not heard them my self, but my understanding is that a les fettled 180 excedes the quality of a nap250! quite a feat concidering a nap250 is £2700 ... £750 or better than £2700?? .. anyone who has followed this little tale of upgrade willknow that i have been very close to taking a very similar route my self! i have just found a bit (quite a large bit) extra cash and veared away from the naim/fettled naim path

The 180 lacks the heavy-duty regulated supplies of the 250, which work so well with low impedance speakers, but in return, the 180 can "breathe" more into more conventional loads. Part of the problem apparently, is in using 40V supply caps with a 37V approx supply and if left on 24/7 this seems to shorten the life of said caps.

HiFi dave has said to me on many occasions how much warmer toned the current naim stuff seems to be. I wonder what they've done to the circuit?

Apologies hamish, you have amps to sell and all i'm trying to do is suggest some ways of bringing them more up to date...
