Naim power amp problem

[parrot of doom]

Anybody here know about Naim power amps? My Nap-90 is only supplying 10VDC, when it should be supplying 24VDC. Therefore the preamp (nac42-5) won't power up.

Obviously a fault on the power amp, anybody got any ideas?

Well thats the fault. Anyone know a suitable replacement? Bridge rectifier I think.

Try posting on www.pinkfishmedia.net/forum/

or contacting Avondale

www.users.zetnet.co.uk/avondale/

or any of the Naim service agents, though Naim don't support all of the old NAP90 anymore.

Alternatively you buy a s/h SNAPS, HiCap, Avondale SPX2, APX2, or build your own 24v PSU, it makes a 'real' difference when the Pre-amp is powered seperately. Ideally you need a linear supply not a switched mode one.

Remember you are no-one without a Naim!

I'm flogging my SNAPS now on Ebay, bid if you want it

Fixed it anyway, busted bridge rectifier, 14p from Maplin. A bit cheaper than £100 for an engineer to do it

I'll be flogging the Nac42-5 and Nap90 very soon on Ebay. I don't need them anymore, not now that I have these monsters:





Velleman 8011 valve monoblocs, 90W per channel, and they basically picked the Naim Nap up, throttled it, threw it from the window, and did a large wee-wee on it. Not that the Naim stuff hasn't been superb, but compared to these......

Can we have more close-up shots of the
copy of "Sprint" please? - those bits of
glass and metal got in the way.....

God I love electronics....

Must drag my much-modified QUAD 405s out of the loft and spank my B&Ws with them, for old time's sake....
