That might have been the case but from customer point of view it was showing as poor delivery management and control (a company who is using outsourced resources is still accountable for the final outcome).
However, since I liked the products I did receive this hiccup did not prevent me to buy other items later. I just see that in this case there is a potential danger that the dealers will sell more than 1973 units and some customers come out of this with empty hands. Therefore my original comment let’s see…
@osprey my dealer has an allocation of Nait 50s set by Naim, the dealer sells up to that number so when I placed my order they knew they had one to sell.
I collected the nait 50 today. While there, we hooked it up with rega Apollo cd player and the new £4000+ epos es14 speakers (developer by Karl Heinz Fink now he owns epos).
Plenty of grunt!
It’s home now but in the box.
Nothing extra in the box other than mains cables, manual (printed!) and the speaker plugs in the back of the amp.
Serial number ending 001
First one to arrive in Winchester. The next one Andy wants to keep.
Spent hour and a half there catching up etc.
Andy owns what was once Julian Vereker’s phonosophie turntable.
He has a few old bits in his collection:
That’s quite a collection - Olive in the distance - CB closer - even a few “Bolt down” if that is the correct term - almost as old as I am - going to have to curb my excitement until August - but hey “everything comes to he who waits!”
That leaves the crossover, which (to build, not to design) is quite simple compared to the cabinet and drivers. So is it fair to say they were more assembled than built in-house?
The Nait 50 uses a quasi-complementary output stage (only uses NPN transistors), this is like the classic range amplifiers but with two Sanken 2SC3519Y per channel instead of NA009N.
…many other transistors in there too!
(no integrated circuits in the signal path)
