Iā€™ll ask in the other thread - interested how you perceive things now

@Murmur as far I know there are no nait50s in Australia. So I think Iā€™ve missed the boat. I still have a great main naim system and a cb nait2 second system so Iā€™m in no hurry. Hopefully naim will be able to make more once the 1973 have sold.

I think the NC250 might be betterā€¦

with the designa cable I thought they were about even each having its own strengths. I would have to borrow a 30ODR again to be sureā€¦

I like the yellow plinth in a strange way. It would need to be in the right setting though. I also agree that the arm has the look of my old Syrinx LE2 albeit silver rather than black. The Majik LP12 is a fine looking machine in my view although for me you can easily better it for the same money with preloved components.

The new Majik arm looks better with a Koil than Adikt but still a bit fussy/messy for my liking and I preferred the previous Lenco, but itā€™s still an LP12 and a lovely thing to buy new. Agree - better performance from pre-loved. Sometimes people just want to buy new regardless.

Yeah - similar to my 2nd system ā€¦ it is a brillant little box!

Surely that should be an lp12 and kans to keep the local theme going?

Those Keilidh should be a good tester for that amp. Take a bit of driving. I used a unitiqute with a set for a while and they still sounded OK

:+1:

Ah didnā€™t realise they were Keilidhs, they look too chunky. It will be a good test. Iā€™ve only ever heard them on a Nait2 and found them pretty subdued, almost muffled.

Keilidhs can be great fun and thatā€™s what Iā€™m hoping for .

The Keilidhā€™s are a fairly difficult speaker to drive, it will be an interesting test.

I have P3 ESR reputed to be very difficult ,at 6 ohms and 83 db sensitivity, and the Nait 50 has a very firm grip on them.

Picked up the Neat 30ā€™s todayā€¦home demo for a week or two to see how the '50 sounds with themā€¦

Initially placed them in the Listening room, so ooi can compare them to 606ā€™s, (will try them in the Study next week).

Need to settle in, however a nice soundā€¦ :smiley:

Donā€™t worry about that.

Just order one tomorrow before they sell out.

(If you wait a few more days they will be gone AFAIK.)

The Nait 50 I just had in my system for four days is brilliant at the price point.

Surely the best shoebox integrated in the universe.

A wonderful taste of the original Naim sound with speed and clarity and emotional connection with the music.

Great with jazz and classical.

I fed the Nait 50 with ND5XS2 - nDAC/555DR into SL2sā€¦

Hi Wilfried , after four days listening -itā€™s very good .

Iā€™m a Naim user of 30 plus years , and counting back itā€™s my fifth Naim amplifier .

Iā€™ve been hankering after a shoebox amplifier from them for a very long time and I bought it unheard . Speaking to my dealer (his firm is part of a chain) they have sold around thirty - and all like me bought it blind.

His ā€œcynicalā€ comment was that if I didnā€™t like it, he was sure there would be no problem selling it .

My view was that Naim were not going to issue such an eccentric product unless they were completely satisfied with it .
