Naim Nap160 Power Amp

Most people in their group (50) will probably have come across a Naim of some sort at one point or another in the last 30 years or so. In my case, my first Naim memory was these Nac112,Nap150& FlastCap 2, a highly regarded entry budget of the early 2000s.Their amps sales was dominated by the famous Naim traits. They made a few decent product, but broadly speaking the glory days was when Bumper Chrome series hit the town. So move on to 2010 and there's me, sat at home listening to my stereo and wondering what's going on with the sound; too sharp, too bright, too attack, then after some costly serious prowling to search for the sounds I wish to get from my listening flat so I  ended it up with Chrome Bumpers and it was a definite choice in sound and in cost at least even until today!

The Nap160 is a WONDERFUL power amplifier, this amp is a TANK. It is dynamic, involving, yet very smooth and easy to listen to, robust, full bodied and never fatiguing. It has the same drive as Klouts but running a lot more cooler, when running on the same briks ,i can toasts my bread on top of klout`s casing.

The bass response[Bumper Chrome treats] is absolutely rock solid and tuneful and the PRAT is out of this world, and it never seems to run out of steam, even at high volumes and at very complex , dynamic passage to a very demanding speakers. It is just does it right and is fun to listen to,No compression No astronomically pricey, i believe most people will love these qualities.

To be honest, I was sceptical that there would be such a [snow & rainy]  difference between amps of this quality, but I was shocked at the difference comparing to klout. I would whole-heartedly recommend this component to anyone looking for an power amp in the rm 5000 range.

Nap160 power amps often gets overlooked for its unique small power rating[50w]  and the Dins connection ,they seems to be a turn-off for some people but my recommendation is to trust your ears and you will be duly rewarded. The music it makes is detailed ,engaging and ability to "warm" your bed. Many audiophiles prefer the Naims over other hifi companies in terms of sheer musicality

I can customise for a good pair of DINs-RCA link for those who wish to runs it with other preamp!


yes it is still for sale.

Meridian MCD player -(MacGyver CD Player)

Meridian [美人甜] MCD is a tiny commando that may looked plain but has the ability to sank a much more bigger ship whenever it comes by.. Meridian MCD were in production from the early eighty is a terrific CD player and i believe to be the one of the finest ancient player ever made. From what i recall there were only few pieces in Johor and the price was equivalent to a Honda cub cc70/vespa scooter today. MCD is a top-loader and therefore not entirely suited to stacking.

The CD100 is extremely musical and built like a tank with massive heat sinks along back sides, it is hot and it can cook eggs.
It all started with world first CD player [CD100] ,a posterior update (CD101) took it up further its last incarnation, The experts in the company [Meridian] wanted something more on the performances so they started to do "moki" business based on CD101 units and these unit were marketed  as MCD & MCD Pro.

internal layout ..the MCD is a CD101 but in the Xtreme.

The Meridian not just a disc runner but a beast in its own right,and offers good musical involvement. ..

Specification:

TDA150 Dual DAC ARCHITECTURE CDM 1 Mechanism Transport Meridian Modification a much soup up version of Philips CD100 [world first Audiophile CD player).

CDM1 Mechs has caught the hifi-world's eyes since a long time for the strong built reputation , Since then, it has been the landmark for many variants. The mechanical layout takes great advantage of the solid die cast aluminium chassis with rubber feet dampening allow it to takes great hammering effect during disc acceleration without acute Carcinogenicity hearing irritation.

MERIDIAN CD 207 Professional

Meridian has made big changes since 1985 from its MCD footprint.Meridian compact disc player 207Pro 1989 vintage. I bought it from the direct owner he convinced me that this was a fairly fanstastic musical instrument, worth for every rinngit & sen investment and I must admit he was correct and I've enjoyed every moment of my ownership.
Meridian 207 Pro convinced me that this was a musical investment and I must admit it was correct and I've enjoyed every moment of my ownership.Sounds sublime and looks fab,it's a wonderful piece of CD player and ideal for the collector of what is now vintage hi-fi.
It's a wonderful CD player and ideal for the collector. You just have to plonk a CD into it and it still surely works as the designer intended. I've been very careful with handling the player and have only ever used a soft brush, hence all the letters on the front panel are still intact. Anyone of these ancient players [ Arcamee & Marantzee,Meridianee,Quadeee,philipsee & Naimee] need no introduction and all I can say, all you read about them so far is correct.Meridian CD207 is a superb sounding machine, the DAC section with the Philips TDA1541A chip set, makes the player sound far more sophisticated than the original price tag ever suggested.It's special, the 270 may be luxury, but it's stylish,more musicality,smoothness and a near analogue presention(hugely capable).
I would have loved to say, these are appreciating Klassic. The phenomenal CDMx mechanism and Phenomenlist TDA1541A DAC chips fused in a simply beautiful package. As a player they are individually exceptional, with not a hint of digital harshness or grain. Very good condition, reads all discs first time every time and plays without missing a beat.

Cosmetically some odd dot from usage, but nothing noticeable 此机产量不大! 高级精品机种,罕有,非常靓音 值得收藏!

The classic partnership from the old camp. Well, there's two schoolmate in a team, the CDM-x(transporter) and there's TDA1541 (soul maker) gene. Music lovers are really excited to have all them in their listening room. My sense is that they're very enthusiastic about musik businesses.

This CD207 Pro seems to do exactly, what an audiophile professional CD player is supposed to do,It amplifies and delivers exactly the audio quality to the power amp, it does not add, nor does it cover up anything.

Marantzie CD94

Listening to modern ultra high sampling sources can be very daunting for many highly classified sensitive ears, but it is this exact environment players featured with both vintage components (TDA1541/CDMxx) have performed very well especially in the warmth, emotion criterion. A Mulitibit processor has always integrated very well into the golden-ear community and has had several great achievements since several past decades. It’s a remarkable experience to have Philipsee based processor and 007 CDM1 sniper on board to cover up the front line...is something that's quite remarkable sensation for Marantzi CD94 to poise and to face many sort of stiff challenges and still survived like one. Well, there's two players in a team, the CDM-1(transporter) and there's TDA1541 (soul maker) gene. Music lovers are really excited to have all them on the team. My sense is that they're very enthusiastic about musik making. They're well engaged the communication seems to be very positive in terms of collaborative spirit, working together to delivery shiok shiok results.
I've been probably most excited about the way the connection of these 2 great players conduct the performance, these playmates are really coming together. But generally speaking, the goddess integration of CDM+TDA fused very very, very well. This processor is quite different although it's built on semiconductor technology, just like our IPod devices, the TDA processor gives very different results. What you will get is an involving experiences, emotionally, comprehensiveness, fine capture of a momentary expression. And people seems prefer to this type of processing capability of preserving the bold emotional essence! Even playing as a transport business, they are unsurpassed but some still prefers to the most desirable ironic CDM1 as their private Transporter. Marantz CD94 it plays any CD I plonked at it and has never skipped a beat and that is why it is still here. I've always been amazed at the amount of low skill Tech's who don't know any real symptom before condemning to lasers. Is it better than junking the lovely cage for the sake of a sicken component?

The hammer that we have is TDA1541,the nail is CDM1, and the Wood is CDs. With the right hammer and nails, there are no wood that the nails can’t stick!

This CD94 worth every sen  and for the money asked a much better choice than the modern SACD players. I believe CD94 will put many expensive modern players to a big shame and pack up[Tao-pao] 打包 退出江湖!
