The Naim New Classic range - Part 1

Thank you for your kind words

Gazza · January 7, 2023, 4:55pm

Congratulations on your all clear……did you get that treatment in the U.K?

NoNaim · January 7, 2023, 4:57pm

Yes, at Preston Royal Hospital. Great people and excellent service

Gazza · January 7, 2023, 4:58pm

Nice to hear that we now have that therapy?

Also had the 272/555/300DR. Loved it. Can miss it from time to time actually. Bit more laidback than 552/NDX2. Let’s see if 555PSDR on the NDX2 calms it down a bit.

Cannot praise them enough. They gave me the first appointment most days, as I look after my 89 year old mother each day.

1791A - same as ND5 XS2. Been wondering similar things

NoNaim · January 7, 2023, 5:04pm

I’m sure it will. I miss my system at times, but I wanted less boxes. I have enough cleaning to contend with

Hi @piebia , I’m not sure i understand the question?
However a 250 on a SN3 is a big upgrade. Connection is fine with the legacy lead set. Can be thought of as a transition to separates.

Gazza · January 7, 2023, 5:06pm

Thats wonderful…….so thoughtful👍

Mr.M · January 7, 2023, 5:12pm

Exactly my thinking when I saw the 3 new boxes relative to my current system, same with NPX 300 and NDX2.
The aspect that isn’t clear, and you probably won’t give an answer here, is if in the future that NPX 300 can power a future 200/300 Series NAC, namely a pure analogue preamp and allowing the NDX 2 to remain as the digital source running off its own internal power source (or XPS DR / 555PS or a second NPX 300)
I’m not inclined to end up with a streaming preamp essentially.

I believe the heat sinks incorporate the wi-fi antenna in their design.

NoNaim · January 7, 2023, 5:12pm

It certainly made a stressful time, more easier

Richieroo · January 7, 2023, 5:13pm

Should do…after you have picked your jaw off the floor

Congratulations pslosarc!

Yours is the first 222 I’ve seen in the wild!
It’s made me grin from ear to ear.

As a product manager releasing many products I know the feeling so well. That’s when all hard work gets paid off

Stu299 · January 7, 2023, 5:26pm

I think it will be a massive upgrade. My experience with the 552 is the better the components around it, the more of the good stuff it reveals.

petermjames · January 7, 2023, 5:26pm

Sorry, too busy listening to post. They are sounding great. Re-listening to all my favourites.

Stu299 · January 7, 2023, 5:28pm

Looking good

What did they replace?
