Naim Nait plays U2 'One' [Linn LP12/Lingo/Ekos/Adikt/Chrome Bumper Naim/Linn Sara 9/Linn Saras]

The Nait was introduced in 1983 as Naim's first integrated amplifier. Naim never published a power output figure but in 2007 Hi-Fi World confirmed it was 13W per channel into 8 Ohms. I paid £270 for this unit around 2020 although it needed a service.
1992-spec Sondek plus Linn Adikt MM cartridge - deck built by Colin at What You See and Hear.
Lingo and Nait serviced by Class A.

Sounds so engaging and full of fun, that guitar and vocal 😍 toe-tapping

Great - tx for the feedback.

[@jimsregaturntableshifijukebox]

Very nice 👍. You don't seem to hear much of these guys lately. I have a couple of vinyl albums of theirs.

[@charlescheese3828]

Yeah, you're getting on now there. Mind you, doesn't stop Mick 'n Keeff

Remember those days back in the 1980s. Loudspeakers with their backs to the wall, the sound stage as flat as pancake😂. The earth was really flat back then.

@@charlescheese3828 my tongue was firmly in my cheek. Chrome bumper Naim with a Sondek probably one of the most musically engaging systems ever. These days we seem to be chasing ephemera, you cannot have it all. Only thing that has really improved for me are phono stages. Happy listening.
PS ooh I forgot something nowadays I find a power conditioner essential because the house is fully off cheapo switch mode power supplies (phono charger, LED light bulbs etc etc), and all these things put noise and DC offset on the mains. Just my $0.02 worth.

Is there no problem for you with publishing copyrighted music? Others on TH-cam (especially videos involving cassette decks) use some special free music (Sounds often like muzak to me).

[@charlescheese3828]

Sometimes TH-cam is not allowed and then the video is automatically withheld - the site is very quick to identify the song once uploaded and block if necessary. Examples include The Beatles and Prince, but increasingly artists are open to TH-cam using their music. Fleetwood Mac and Paul Simon have both changed their policy in recent years.
