Ortofon 2M Black arrived to complement the Naits phono abilities. Very impressed.
My original Nait is away with Darran for recapping, so my Nait 50 is being used with a Bluesound N130 and Spendor 3/5R2 speakers while we are in a holiday cottage during a visit to the UK. The streamer might not be the last word in refinement, but the system certainly performs well enough during a rainy day in Cornwall.
The sun will be out and about tomorrow, youâll be able to have a swim in the sea for the next few days.
You might find the Nait50 slightly even better on a full fat Fraim shelf. I did compared to a no name wooden hifi standâŚ
Hi Simon
Its current location is not its final position. Itâs been plonked there since it arrived last week. Iâve been too busy enjoying it to move it.
Iâm sitting here just now amazed at the sound Iâm hearing with the 2m black going through the Naitâs phono stage.
The kids will be in the water tomorrow, while I am checking out routes on my bike for LEJOG in 2026.
Werenât you considering Audio Technica VM750SH?
Excellent, probably way too early to say as you have got a new cartridge and as well as the N50, but it would be nice to hear your thoughts on how it compares to your previous setup.
My N50 is starting to settle in nicely after about 60hrs of vinyl spinning.
Yes I was/am. The new black came up at a price I couldnât turn down. I have to say itâs surprised how good it is straight away.
Hi Dazza
Initial impressions are very favourable. Iâll feedback when itâs run in.
What was your previous set up.
Mentioned earlier in this thread but I had a Rega Brio before, and the N50 blows it out of the water. I was considering a used Supernait 3 but just couldnât resist the Uber cool retro feel and looks of the N50.
Only listen to vinyl on my LP12, no CD, streaming or radio atm.
Well, I have to say that I am so impressed by this little fella, what an amplifier.
The combination of Rega P8 with RB2000 arm, Ortofon 2M Black, Nait 50 and Stirling LS3/5aâs is just brilliant. The fact that it all looks soooo cool and simple is the icing on the cake. I think the biggest surprise for me is the MM phono stage in the 50. With the 2M Black I donât seem to be wanting anything more.
Brilliant.
Excellent and thatâs just after a week or so, once itâs burned in youâll be in for a real treat.
I think I will happily live with my N50 for the rest of my hifi journey, just puts a smile on your face.
The phono of the Nait 50 is more than half decent, indeed. I also have it with the P8 but with an AT cart, all to a pair if Spendor D1s.
Then I should probably mention that at some point recently I also tried this setup with Hana ML and NVC TT and thought all these were made for each other!
Hi @carruthersesq
Glad youâre enjoying the Nait50.
Did you get rid of your SN3 or do you have both amps?
Glad youâre enjoying it⌠itâs a cracking bit of kit isnât it.
It sure is, when I return holiday I will give the Nait 50 another spin in the main setup accompanied with SBLs, DAVE and ND5XS2.
Thereâs something just right with this amp, its hard to believe the N50 only makes 25 beautiful watts per channel.
Well yes if playing sine waves⌠playing music it can punch out in excess of 200 Watts⌠just keep good spacing around it as it can get warm when working hard. I am sure that huge power reserve gives it the control and grip we hear.
Ah yes I forgot about the additional watts when required
I currently have both, but going to sell the SN3.
