it has been discussed on the Naim forum and confirmed on there. They will build a few to order in coming months, but after that unless you want 500 series which seems to be staying longer, you will have to go second hand or New Classic Series.

Yes, I’ve wondering this as well. 282/252 have gone, and entry to separates could be the streaming preamp, after that full separates with a 300 series preamp and separate streamer. I guess we should expect a separate preamp to be anywhere around £7k. You would of course be able to use an XPS or...

I has been confirmed by Richard Dane that the range is built in the Salisbury factory, obviously components are brought in to do this.

Car?

As EPear says, there must be a new line of preamps to go with this. At least this shows commitment to separates, which is great, even if I can't afford them!! I've been going on about new preamps for years...

It looks like there is a separate module for the phono stage, as it has a separate reference NVC 331....mmmm. I don't need one as I have Urika, so maybe a few pennies saved if you don't spec it.

if you have to ask............

It certainly looks better than the early image, which was probably captured secretly, hopefully in the flesh it will look even better. Great for new customers not sure yet if I could be bothered making what will be a very expensive change if you want everything to match. Any word on pricing yet...

‘what’s the point’? Well this is a HiFi forum and we all having a bit of fun guessing what a HiFi company are About to release. No harm doing that.

assuming it is an upgrade of course? No plans here to change, tOo many matching black boxes, it could get costly quickly!

Exactly what I do with my 272. Optical out from LG TV to 272. I think I had to set TV to ‘Stereo’ output. Work brilliantly no issues with lypsync here.

If they have started migrating to a new casework, won’t they need matching amps and power supplies?! I wonder if this means a move away from traditional linear power supplies as well…..oh exciting

Or perhaps it is NSC 222 and NSC 333, Naim Streaming Control, in Naim nomenclature it would be like NAC Naim Amplifier Control, and could be a sort of preamp replacement for 202, or 172 and 272. Either way the ‘New Classic’ bit points to new casework for sure.

I’ve read the thread with interest and I can’t offer any science to the discussion. But I have been through the routine of specific racks and normal furniture. Broadly my journey has been Target metal racks and TT stand in the 90’s then some IKEA type furniture which was all mounted and then to...

Yes I saw this as well on FB. Better start saving!
