Standby. There is no power on/off. You could also describe it as dipped/main beam headlight selector.

Indeed, it’s a sprightly little thing.

It’s an absolutely excellent amplifier but then I am biased.

I had an hour late last night and first impressions were … detail and sound stage, both not usually traits of Naim stuff at the affordable end in my (limited) experience of the brand. It almost made my speakers sound electrostatic. I’ll have a little bit more time today and over the weekend.

Can't agree more.

Will do tomorrow. Haven’t had time to really listen. We had a builder in due to a leaking shower.

I had Kef’s wireless 50 II’s for a while. Their DSP controlled bass never sounded right to my ears. There is something it did whilst limiting that didn't sit right. DSP or room correction, even plain EQ is great but needs to be used carefully. It is no substitute for good engineering or a...

Lovely looking deck. Who cares where it’s made.

Totally agree. Whilst I don’t think Naim was just out to make profit they clearly aimed this at well off existing owners. They did bite but not nearly in the numbers Naim (or the press) probably estimated. 1973 units with worldwide distribution and still unsold units left at dealers … speaks for...
