Steve, could those new transistors be retro-fitted to older spec gear - for example, to an older NAP when units are sent back to Naim HQ for servicing? Or would that mess up the the audio design?

Hi,
You didnât mention the 250dr. Is there any reason?

I thought the 250.2 was the DR modelâŚanyways for clarification I was referring to the previous model - the NAP250DR

Iâll definitely be interested in how you find the change, itâs been on my mind to make this change also.
Graham,
I doubt that is really the way to go. As suggested, get your stuff serviced and simply enjoy it as you have always done.
If you have a hankering feeling to get the latest and greatest then buy the new stuff, if you like it after a demo.
The approach to updating old kit as you suggests, looks to me to be unprofessional âhackingâ
Sorry Lindsay, just joining in the party. NAC 42? 42.5? Iâm old enough to remember them.

The 250.2 was the non-DR version in Classic case. The 250DR superseded it, and looks the same. The naming is now a little confusing in that the New Classic version is just called the NAP 250. They havenât officially called it a 250.3, 250.8, NC250 or anyhing else that differentiates it. Just as well that it looks sufficiently different to avoid any confusion, at least for now.

It seems likely that it will become progressively referred to as the 250.3 over timeâŚ
Ah yes. My first Naim preamp !
Their official documentation, website, manual, rear panel label etc. simply calls it NAP 250. If Naim want to call it something that differentiates it from other models they can, but have apparently chosen not to.
BD, Chrome Bumper, Olive, Tryptich etc. were all unofficial names that became widely adopted in the absence of an official name. No doubt the new version will eventually have a similar nickname. Whether thatâs 250.3 or NC250 that have already been coined here, or something else, I couldnât really care less.
I guess for the purposes of this thread the âunofficialâ nomenclature may be more appropriate. 
Has any official white papers been released yet ?
Only the balanced connection one which is available via TTAâs site as a download for now.

I think itâs just 4 hence there were no Nait 4 or Nat 4. If I remember correctly there was thought to be something superstitious? @Richard.Dane might recall?

I was told chord have an offering thatâs 5k ouch
