So, a couple of days and then this thread careers towards 10k posts. Will probably need its own storage farm soon.
Most sensible but another option is to have two new threads for the NC200 and NC300 but this is entirely a matter for you sir.
Yes. What’s your take?
I would directly compare the two before making a call.
Richard has already informed about this;
With you on that one Django84
Really !!
Not the feedback I’m getting
The only feed back I’m getting it’s too expensive here so very few people will get the opportunity to compare.
Apologies I haven’t been following this thread but from a quick perusal
It seems to be the case that a NSC 222 /250 is equivalent to, or better than, a NAC 552/NAP300 - or have I misread the thread?

Beats the 552 and 500 apparently. For a quarter of the price. Who would have thought
That’s great news, so glad I didn’t buy any of the myriad of 500s for sale s/h now.
Fair play to Naim for blowing their previous products out of the water with their current crop.

Guilty as charged, your Honour
I have compared 222 plus 300PS against 282 hicap through my ATC 40 actives at home and to my ears the 282 was better. More detail better sound stage and separation, tighter bass
So in summary after 6000 posts a 282 with Hicap into actives beats 500 series.
Phew glad we got there before thread closes .
I know, it’s brilliant isn’t it.
NC222/NPX300/250-3 > 552/500
282/HiCAP/Active > NC222/NPX300/Active
Therefore, 282/HiCAP > 552/500
Ha ha keep going mate
Question then is how they compare with Statements. My better half would love to release my savings and restructure our mortgage.
Where’s the absolute proof
