Wrong and it makes the dealer look as if he’s lying.
You say new and it’s not so it looks like you’re being deceived when not.
You say the dealer has told you it’s a new cart when it’s not so makes him look incompetent.
I’m only supporting the dealers reputation.
It’s an existing cart with a different modified body from someone else.
It is a must in my ears - very good!
FULLY agree!
I agree, with a new body, functionally it’s a new cartridge. A perfect example is the original Denon DL-103 vs. the Zu Audio-modified DL-103 with its much heavier aluminum alloy body. I have owned both, and they sound quite different, and interface differently with tonearms due to the increased weight.

Connected up my Linn Karik CD player tonight the Nait50 continues to put a huge grin on my face, I am hearing little details I’ve never heard before. Usually I feel the soundstage is confined within the speakers, with the Nait the soundstage is wide and vocals are locked dead centre ( I normally find myself fidgeting about trying to get in the sweet spot) . Still yet to try the LP12 as I have a moving coil cartridge suspect I will be in for a treat.

Are you looking for an MM cartridge for the Nait 50?
You will be in fir a treat with a MC cartridge Scramble , I can assure you of that
Except that the Nait50 input is MM.
Unless it’s a high output MC…or using a SUT…?

I’m sure Scramble is aware of that and will need to have a SUT
I’m running my ARO TT Kandid Cartridge with Superline/supercapDR/Armageddon though the Nait 50
Sounds wonderful

Interesting to see that the NAIT 50 comes with a ‘proper’ Instruction Manual.
All Naim products should - IMO - come with this…

I have a ‘proper’ manual for each of my Naim components, as far as I know.
With mistakes, eg the auto power on triggered by music sensing.

Things like the Nova don’t come with an exhaustive manual (IMHO).
I was wondering how people are using the standby/power switches on the Nait.
Initially I was confused by the ‘auto on’ statement in the manual and I couldn’t understand why the amp didn’t spring to life when I started a CD or LP. My misunderstanding was clarified by finding about the error in the manual explained in this thread.
I started by leaving the rear switch on auto standby, but I found this quite irritating. The problem being that if I interrupted a period of listening to do something else temporarily, the amp would turn off and then when I started a CD again there was no sound, until the power button was reengaged.
Now I have turned the rear switch to what the manual calls ‘instant on’, but I don’t really understand what this means. If I manually turn the amp to standby when I am not going to listen for a while - maybe overnight - does this keep the audio circuits powered up. Or does the power have to be on with bright indicator light for this to be the case?

Been trying to run mine in so just been leaving it at full power all the time.
Means auto standby off. It’s on and it stays on. If you press it to standby, then it’s on standby and saving electricity.
In other words:
Off = no power = no cost. Cold and will take a while to reach “ready to play” temperature.
Standby = little power = pence cost. Needs 30 minutes warmup to sound its best.
On = power = £ cost. Ready to play.
