Does the olive Nap 140 work with the new NAC112?

Thanks in advance!

Is there anything that makes you think it doesn't?

I seem to remember reading about a certain olive component that doesn't work with the new style component as you would expect (or vice versa). I can't remember which items it was exactly but it's made me slightly wary.

Was it the flatcap 2 perhaps?!?!?

Should be no problem. A 112 is designed to accept its power supply from a power amp.

It can also be happily powered by olive hi-caps and flat-caps.

I tried the 112/140, 102/150 combinations about three years ago and the 140 was actually better than a 150 when used with a 112. Despite being less powerful on paper than a 150 it actually sounds more dynamic and more powerful.



Regards,

Steve.

140 better than a 150 with a 112?

If you want to rock with Blue Oyster Cult in your folk's room, then rightous dude! Otherwise, there are alternatives throughout he new range.....

Blue Oyster Cult?

Aren't you showing your age?

They were a great band and I've listened to them to using a 72/hicap/140/SBL's.

The 140 rocks fine, with Blue Oyster Cult et al.

Peter,

The point was that the 140 is starting to show its age, and however fine it is, I would not choose it over a new 150, or 200. But as you say, I am old enough to remember hearing "Don't Fear the Reaper" on the regular radio rotation.

Perhaps I need to be upgraded.
