Old and new Naim amps . . .


If one had to choose between a used but excellent condition Naim 72/HiCap/180 combo, which can be had comaparatively cheaply, leaving more funds for better speakers adn uprading the source, or a brand new 202/200 combo. It has not surpassed notice that a used 72/HiCap/180 combo costs less than either a new 212 or 200 alone. (RC is not an absolute necessity.) TIA

I would go with the 202/200.
Look here for much info concerning Naim:

Old Naim stuff lasts forever, but watch out as you'll ALWAYS want to upgrade your system.

If you've never had Naim before, the 72/hi/180 is a great place to start. It can be easily upgraded, and if you decide you don't like it you can always sell it again for roughly the same money. I'm using a CDX2 in front of olive gear and it sounds great.
