Pour ma part, la décision est prise de mettre le Nait50 sur le système 2, mais reste maintenant à me décider si j’adopte un Nait50 pour le système principal aussi, et non, je ne blague pasGot the Nait 50 in the main system now and it does sound very good indeed. Works very well with my 2002-spec LP12 fitted with Adikt. The Linn Tukans (1993) also match well. Shame I don’t have something more revealing but they certainly play music together which is the main thing. I don’t have NACA5 so using K20.
This is hard to explain but 90s vinyl like the first two Oasis albums is clearly benefitting. The N50 seems to retain more midrange detail in a refined way that just makes these recording not only more interesting but as good as digital format (where I have previously preferred them to my original pressings).
Is it as tuneful as Linn or Lejonklou electronics? No, but then I never expected that. They don’t do rhythm and timing like Naim and every product I’ve ever heard has its strengths and weaknesses. Is the N50 as musically coherent (to my ears) as vintage Naim, like the 12/160, 42.5/110 and Nait? No, but I’d say it’s not far off.
What it does offer is a much more up to date sound that makes music on my 12/160 sound slowed down. As for the Hi-Fi attributes, they are miles better than CB-era equipment. Perhaps more importantly though, I’ve been spinning vinyl all week in the office and thoroughly enjoying the N50 as part of that system - it gets to the heart of the music and the added information is a benefit rather than a distraction.
