naim nac 112x and 150x

Posted by: Garry on 07 June 2016

just bought the above naim nac 112x and 150x power amplifier no Hicap for the pre amp..I love the sound of radio stations etc through it...Would it benefit from a Hi cap..?

Slightly different from the older nac 42.5 i have been using.. Bit larger sound and a bit more forward in its presentation...Cd is a little forced..Is this the expirience of upgrading..?

I have tried the 42.5 with the 150x power amp and the sound is less forced and better with some music....?

All comments welcomed...

Some NAC112x units might benefit at this juncture from a service, though they're really quite good at lower volumes due to the exceptional channel balance of the ladder volume control.

If your NAC 42-5 hasn't been serviced recently, it may also be a bit of the soft side, which would exaggerate the difference.
