Description
Naim NAP 200 in excellent physical condition and full working order.
The NAP 200 is one of the Naim power amps that can also power a preamp such as NAC 202 or 282. And this is a very nice one!
Original owner had it from new but had no storage space for packaging. It’s therefore supplied in re-used Naim packaging with proper Naim ‘white plug’ mains lead, interconnect and manual.
Original thinking was to get this serviced but it sounds terrific untouched!
Our 3 month warranty applies as does free UK mainland carriage.
OK, some of Naim’s spiel, then:
The original Naim Audio amplifier.
First designed by Naim Audio founder Julian Vereker in 1971, the NAP 200 has Naim Audio musicality written into its DNA. As Naim’s first production amplifier, no single product encapsulates their philosophy better. Its design is simple and uncompromising, with a single-minded focus on one thing: creating an enduring musical connection with the listener. More recently the NAP 200 has benefitted from the years of research that went into the NAP 500 amplifier. Many of the developments from the 500 Series project have helped to revitalise its electronic design and componentry bringing significant and hard-earned gains to performance. Beneath this new technology however, it retains the values which helped to make it an icon: simplicity, focus and sheer musicality.
Features
- 70W per channel output into 8 Ohms
- Large custom-designed transformer providing 300VA of transient power
- Internal power supply to allow direct connection of a NAC 152 XS, NAC 202 or NAC 282 preamplifier
Technology & Craft
Like the flagship NAP 500, the NAP 200 uses a new circuit design with improved earthing arrangements built on a very high quality, anti-resonance main audio circuit board. Anti-vibration, resonance-controlling feet serve to protect the sensitive internal components from microphonic vibration and unwanted external interference. A new, top-quality 430VA toroidal transformer provides more than 300VA of transient power.
Separate windings provide dedicated left and right channel rectified power supplies with two smoothing capacitors per channel. The NAP 200 also has a separate winding providing a preamplifier power supply. This enables it to be used in a two-box amplifier configuration with a Naim Audio preamplifier such as the NAC 202. The Naim Audio NAP 200 is stable into any load and can drive a 2-ohm load for long periods of time.
