Description

Selling vintage naim pre-power set, beautiful dynamic and punchy naim sound, most sought after models with perfect phonostage. Both are recently recapped with origional parts imported with receipts. The Naim NAC 32.5 and NAP 140 are classic components from Naim Audio, a British high-end audio manufacturer. Both units were released in the 1980s and have since become iconic for their solid build quality, distinctive sound, and the overall Naim "house sound. " Here's a detailed description of each component: Naim NAC 32.5 (Preamplifier) The NAC 32.5 is a preamplifier from Naim Audio, part of the company's 32 series, which was introduced in the mid-1980s. It was designed to offer high-quality signal amplification while maintaining a high degree of transparency and minimal coloration. The NAC 32.5 was engineered to provide a clean, detailed sound with excellent control and dynamics, which is typical of Naim’s approach to audio. Design & Features: Build Quality: The NAC 32.5 has a rugged, functional design with an all-metal chassis. The front panel is minimal, featuring just a volume knob, input selector, and a few additional switches for phono inputs and tone controls. It has the characteristic Naim "brushed aluminum" aesthetic. Inputs: The NAC 32.5 typically has multiple inputs, including both line-level and optional phono inputs (MM/MC) for turntables. Power Supply: The unit does not have a built-in power supply; instead, it is designed to be powered by an external power supply, such as the Naim HiCap, which can improve performance significantly. Sound Signature: Naim preamplifiers, including the NAC 32.5, are known for their tight, focused sound with a slight emphasis on rhythm and timing. The NAC 32.5 offers excellent separation, clarity, and detail in the midrange and treble, with a controlled bass response. Naim NAP 140 (Power Amplifier) The NAP 140 is a power amplifier from Naim, introduced as part of the 140 series. It is a medium-power amplifier, delivering around 70 watts per channel into 8 ohms, and is designed to drive a wide range of speakers with ease. Like other Naim products, the NAP 140 is built to deliver clean, dynamic sound with an emphasis on musicality and rhythmic accuracy. Design & Features: Build Quality: The NAP 140 features the same robust, no-frills build that is characteristic of Naim’s engineering philosophy. The casing is made from heavy-duty metal, and the unit has a simple, utilitarian design with minimal controls—primarily a power switch and a couple of input/output connections. Power Supply: The NAP 140 includes an integrated power supply. However, it can benefit from an upgraded external power supply, such as the Naim HiCap, to further enhance its performance. Sound Signature: Naim amplifiers are revered for their ability to deliver controlled bass, clear midrange, and extended treble. The NAP 140, like its siblings, emphasizes precision and musicality, making it a favorite for audiophiles who appreciate a clean, fast, and rhythmic sound. Construction: The NAP 140 uses a fully discrete class AB design with a high-current output stage. The amplifier is known for its low distortion, impressive power reserves, and ability to drive even less efficient speakers with authority.
