It seems like every now and again, some bastardized hybrid turns up on e-bay. From what I can tell this is really some other amp that happens to use Naims output boards. I seem to remember that most of the naim power amp family is essentially the same amplifier with different power supplies. The NAP150 and 500 being the odd ones out. I would expect this creature to sound NOTHING like any naim amp out there. And unless the power supply is done right there may be the risk of having as much output at 80K than there is at 20K, thanks to the Gods of Oscillation. At the asking price I would much rather go for a well established and time proven NAP250, which at least has got a regulated front end.
Oh.. the 'hi fi guru' that is behind this beast- sure sounds like a Russ Andrews creation.
