Description :
The Naim Audio NAC112 is an entry-level preamplifier of Naim Audio which matches well with the NAP150 power amplifier that falls squarely into an 'exciting and stimulating' camp. In fact, when first listening to this combination, it's hard to believe that they are entry-level offerings as they seem far more composed and effortlessly informative than any 'starter' combination has any right to do.

All Naim preamps have never incorporated an internal power supply of their own, and the NAC 112 is obviously no different – it takes its juice from either corresponding partnering power amp or the dedicated external power supply units such as the Flatcap 2 or more expensive Hi-Cap. In this case, the NAC 112 took its power off the NAC 150. Six line level inputs are provided, these being marked CD, Tuner, Tape, A/V, Aux 1 and 2. The A/V, Tape and Aux 1 inputs come with record out facilities, while the Aux 2 input has two sockets – the extra socket is fitted with a blanking cover, for use with a separate dedicated phono stage like the Prefix or Stageline.

The overall character of the Naim NAC112 NAP150 pre power combination with the Harbeth Monitor 30 is slightly warm and dark, albeit in a very natural way, with a perspective that put the listener up close and personal with the performance. The listener can easily imagine listening to the band live in a jazz club while sitting a couple of tables away. The playing is wonderfully evocative, with recorded string tone that's gorgeous, natural and emotive. The Naim allows the person to hear each musician's contribution to the whole.

Why Buy from Audio Gold?

Audio Gold opened in Crouch End, North London in the early 1990s and we’ve been operating a busy, independent, hifi shop since then. Recommended by musicians, producers, DJs and many of London's record shops as the place to find the right stereo and turntable, we specialise in analogue vinyl systems and combining them with modern digital sources (be they high res or Spotify etc), exploiting wifi streamers and so on as appropriate - our aim is to have a wider range of good quality new and fully guaranteed used decks and stereo equipment than anywhere else in the country

What we like most is to help build the right system for you, based on your requirements in terms of sound, space and budget. With unparalleled stock of guaranteed, classic and vintage amps, speakers and turntables alongside new kit, we're also better placed than anywhere else to help you put together a hifi with the right look to sit happily in your home - a stereo that you can love, and use every day. We’re open 7 days a week for you to collect eBay purchases, to inspect, browse, and to listen before you buy. Alongside the Aladdin's Cave of the best of hifi from the last 50 odd years, our record shop stocks 1000s of new and secondhand vinyl LPs

If you have any queries, you can contact us via eBay, email, or by phone on 020 8341 9007. Or make an appointment to pop in to the shop at 308-310 Park Rd, N8 8LA

We use our eBay store to make lovely surplus stock available to a wider audience and to re-home items where the economies of time, money and space don't quite add up for us; we preach 'Extended Life Audio' and hate throwing things away, but London retail space comes at a premium and our engineers have only so much time!
