Which amplifier for SBL

It doesn’t have to be shaky; if they have bass like my Linn Kan Mk1, which I had, I’d be very happy. It’s said that early models might have a lack of bass. I don’t remember what year my first Nsats were; they were 2007 (2004-2011~).

My SBLs sound fantastic with a Nait50. That is with near Klimax level LP12 in a 3,5x4,0 m room with sturdy wood walls and laminate floor on concrete. Before the Nait50 I almost bought a freshly serviced 52/SC/2x135 combo. In hindsight I’m glad I didn’t.

Nice set! I have to concede that my SBL sound pretty amazing in my 4.5x3 mtr office on the end of a Unitiserve/NDX/Nait50. I keep thinking i should try my 82/SC/250.2 in here from my bigger system, then i listen to it and think, no need.

82 HiCap 250 all olive with SBLs is my suggestion, or some CB or OC mixed in. Source NDS and 555PS or similar and a nice LP12 for vinyl!

10,000 euros for the 555 Amp ?? Sorry, but that’s crazy :joy:

555 Amp? It doesn’t exist. 555 PSDR is a power supply for NDX2, NDS and ND555.

These are available on the used market at substantially less.

LP12, Nait, SBLs. All is right with the world.

Amp is called amplifier

500 is called 500

Is there such a thing called 555 Amp (or amplifier)? :wink:

Hi Sean,

How are you?

I do believe there is a 555PSDR power supply. I did not know that there was an amp or amplifier?

Anyhow, a 555PSDR power supply is quite a thing and adds massive benefits to a number of Naim sources. It can be used on many including:

CDS, CDS2, CDS3, CD555, CDX, CDX2, ND5XS, NDX, NDX2, NDS, CD555, NDX2, ND555, NSC222, and all the NC gear I believe.

It is a superb power supply and worth every penny! It’s meant to be better than the 300NPX.

I hope this clarifies things.

My dears, amp is short for Amplifier….. :man_shrugging:

Fully understood, that is why I responded the OP with a :wink: It is crystally clear & trivial to anyone who is a Naim user

I know Sean. I don’t think the OP is on the same page. He seems convinced a 555 PSDR is an amp :rofl:

OK, OK, I overlooked a power supply. I don’t know this stuff.

Need a PS for the SNAXO too in an active system. Or track down the rare self-powered IXO.

Not sure this is relevant to the OP mind you.
