I’d second that. Fantastic improvementGet a Supercap, but also the Witch Hat Superlink upgrade on the 82 which will let it use far more of the Supercap than Naim do.
Thanks Ken
The 102 was released 4 years after the 82 and 180, unless you mean 102/90.3 was a likely pairing as an upgrade over the entry level 92/90.3 pairing.
And which one did you prefer ?The natural olive hierarchy pairings were:
92/90.3
72/140
102/180
82/*Cap/250
52/Super/135s
I've had all of the above.
In absolute terms, the 52/Super/135s. No question.And which one did you prefer ?
In absolute terms, the 52/Super/135s. No question.
In VFM terms, the 102/180.
Gosh ! Now I will have to shop for a pair of 135’s !In absolute terms, the 52/Super/135s. No question.

I believe so. The 202 replaced the 102, and the 180 became the 200.In the current "Classic" line that would roughly be the NAC202/NAP200DR, right?
If you want top of the olive tree, deffo. Just make sure their serial numbers are consecutive or at least very close.Gosh ! Now I will have to shop for a pair of 135’s !
Good luck!Gosh ! Now I will have to shop for a pair of 135’s !
Naim's numbering scheme is bewildering to me.
The final preamp '2' seems redundant, did they ever actually make anything that wasn't two channels?
