So I took the plunge and bought a NAIM NAIT3 from the classifieds section on pfm. I collected it this week from they very helpful Andy, many thanks.
As many of you may know I left NAIM behind over 5 years ago after getting a JVC A-X3 and then an AX-Z1010TN. However reading this article again made me hanker for a NAIT and lo and behold one was on pfm classifieds:-
So I installed it in my main system, it's destined for the office, to see how it faired. In isolation it sounds very enjoyable, with the usual up front sound. I won't go into huge details as I know the whole PRAT thing is divisive. Suffice it to say it's a great sounding amp, compared to the 1010 though it's very one dimensional and lacking in fine detail and instrumentation separation.
The plan is to strip it down and give it a clean, lube the pots with serivisol and check the bias. It is however in great condition so it's not going to be a hard task.
