That’s a relief!

If you’re under moderation. (I.e. your post only appear after being approved by a moderator), you can still like posts I think. Not saying that’s what happened to NoNaim BTW, I have no idea.

Apparently the Bentley has been especially adapted to include the new in car Naim tape/FM head😎

If its true, @nonaim, like this post!

2 more days before the Equinox 2 mc element with blutooth support gets released.

My predictions based purely on observation:

New electronics will look like Solstice.
No more giant power supplies (due to regulations).
Streamer/Preamp combo’s (aka 272)
Balanced preamp outs (for active Focal speakers).

I suspect the future of Naim revolves around a synergy with Focal speakers. It would not surprise me to see multiple active Focal speakers with built-in Naim amps being fed by a simple “one-box” high end solution. Much like the complete systems Linn offers.

Sort of like an active Sopra with a 372 head unit, in a solstice-esque finish

Around 46 hours

I suspect these PS options will stay for now but like the Solstice units, will have a redesigned power supply sporting connections (the Type 1, 2 or 3) to support communication with the unit it’s powering to put the PS into standby mode. In effect the same arrangement as the Statement and later Uniti / mains powered Network players where you have a small SMPS unit for low power consumption standby mode, switching over to a conventional Linear PS for normal operation.

I agree, small “intelligent” power supplies will be the future.

You make it sound like a dennis quaid film with meg ryan or am i just reading too much into things

Very sensible analysis. I certainly agree about the heavy weight boxes of power supplies. Interesting idea about the speakers which sound a bit a la ATC

Hi Chris, boy I hope NOT…… kiss of death for part of the market ?

Something like a Naim NapSC, Naim Audio Powersupply Super Cute.

Sounds like a contradiction in terms. The last way i would describe a Naim power supply is super cute :rofl:

Good try to define the true meaning of NAPSC though.

I would have thought…

Need Another Power Supply Clive

Right on Derek :rofl:
