The new NAIT 50 Limited Edition

Records with integral clamps… there’s a thought.
Only one playable side, though. Dammit.

Spinning a cool Blue Note Jazz Disc on mine.

In some ways, it’s terrifying… :wink:
The magical Naim would it be back? :smiley:

Are you saying it rivals 552dr/300dr?

That would put naim in a very tricky situation :smile:

It’s just that it’s very very good indeed, and I feel the source feed and interconnects allow it to demonstrate its abilities on a par with an ND555. With this, I seriously think I could be very happy if someone carted the 552 / 300 away in the night… There might be extremes of sound that could be missed (outright grip at stupid volume / and erm, what else…:thinking:) but it’s that core musicality value that it has in spades and lets shine right through with an excellent source set up.

LINA and Nait 50 plus a ProJect RS2 transport (tiny and fabulous too) would be such a killer high-end combination; almost makes me want to join the down size bandwagon now…

That is nothing short of amazing. That you would even consider changing your 552/300 for a NAIT that is.

I have had my 552DR/500DR turned off for a week…and agree with you, if the '50 was all I had it would be fine. (not as nuanced, detailed, and full, however very good).

With a good source, it is very good, almost too good :smile:

My 552DR/500 are still in their boxes with the Nait 50 pride of place.
Agree on the source as I have a Chord Dave / MScaler / ND5XS2 connected with SL2s on the end of the amp.
I’m staggered by how good the setup sounds.

My Nait 50 arrives on Tuesday along with a four metre Shawline X (RCA to DIN) .

Will make some temporary changes , but having been up to an 8 box system (including TT ) will be down to a 3 box system when settled down.

Don’t worry, it’s a limited edition, and all will be sold very soon!

Does that make you feel better?

I didn’t need one but I still ordered it :sunglasses:

Seriously, you’ve taken the words right out of my mouth… Oh well, I’ll just have to continue to ‘suffer’ with my DAC V1 and 160 BD…

It’s a very clever bit of marketing by Naim. I don’t need my Nait 50 (I have a perfectly good Nait 2), but FOMO came into play when I read that it is a limited edition.

I haven’t been able.

It’s too expensive.
