Nait 1

Posted by: Gurbinder on 17 September 2016

Looking to buy a 1986 Nait 1, just wanted to know if this will drive my PMC Twenty.21s.

Thanks in advance.

A 90 will not run those speakers properly but will work as would an early Nait

I'd look for a 160 or a 180

I'm not very patient.

Patience pays off as you'll be able to find a good one - too many cosmetically shabby (panel lettering yellows), modified, serviced by a mate up the road who's good at soldering examples about so worth waiting

Very good 110's are scarce as are 160's

140 & 180 much easier to source down, not a bad amp, virtually similar apart from a larger PSU trafo in 180.

Amp boards and electrolyts etc are same thing, in my 180 the amp board are written Nap 140"

Allthough a 72 would match better visually a 32 is fine IMO

Several NAP180s on a well known auction site, at least one of them recently serviced.

They are not CB are they, I can get a Nap140 from Italy for €300 shipped, is this ok?

If in good condition and not modified in any way, then yes.  If recently serviced by Naim or an authorised service centre then it's a bargain.  

You can always order a genuine Naim UK power cable from your Naim dealer for about £15-20, if memory serves me well.
