Does the Naim Nait 5i italic have internal wiring?

[MRB]

Silly question, but does anybody know if the Naim Nait 5i (italic) uses internal wiring to carry the audio signal? A photo would be good Thanks.

Google image search is your friend.

I just typed.. Naim Nait 5i ...and did an image search. (Easier than undoing all the screws on mine.)

Not sure if the one I linked is the italic or not but the wiring will not be radically different.

Amazing how so much can be achieved from so little. Its a half empty box of tricks...Naim, i take my hat off.

LOL. Yes, disturbingly empty box. But, they say simplicity is the pinnacle of good engineering so....

Always makes me chuckle looking inside these expensive boxes, we spend squillions on interconnects and the wires connecting them to the circuit boards looks like they cost 0.01p per metre! Before anyone says anything I realise they are quite short.

I use the interconnects Naim provided in the packaging and their own (relatively inexpensive compared to some) speaker cable and connectors.

But yes, interconnects costing 'squillions' is a bit daft.

Monitor Audio use their own speaker cable internally - 'Pureflow', and say you don't need anything else as it 'adds nothing and takes nothing away'.

That Naim box is mightily empty mind.

Heres mine...

Amazing when you consider, the sound is not so radically different (controversial statement alert!)

But considering all the work that went into the beauty of the Yamaha, the Naim 5i is considered by many a benchmark. I am so impressed now by looking inside the case of the Naim...how did they do it!?.

Passive pre-amp for a start.

So that's how it's done. Looks good. I wonder why they didn't put the speaker terminals on the circuit board
