The Naim New Classic range - Part 1

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;

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. :grin:

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 :roll_eyes:

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.

Yeah who would have thought !!!

I’m being cynical as I’m sure @Mike_S ess :grinning::grinning:

Guilty as charged, your Honour :sunglasses:

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 :joy:.

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
