NAC202 and NAP200 tested in Germany
Posted by: hifidaddy on 18 November 2002
Hi,
I just read German "Stereoplay" with the test of newest naim midrange gear. Of course, they said that it sounded very good, better than previous generation.
There are some internal photos, at which I had a closer look. What I find mysterious is that Naim is using now Sanken power transistors in their NAP200 like in their old chrome bumper NAP140. Are they sounding better than the Naim outputs, or the reverse ? Just curious.
Also, cabling had been much reduced in preamp and power amp in comparison to previous generation. Do printed circuit board signal and power lining sound better than internal cables ? Curious again.
regards,
Hartmut
