In May I had the opportunity to upgrade for a fair price my Nap 200 to the Nap 250.2
I have to say that I had great doubts about this deal becouse for me the Nap 200 was really a good amp:
What made my mind up to this decision was that I would have like to make this as a further experiment in the NAIM UPGRADE PATH (the HICAP2 was the previous one), just to "hear" again if this MYTH was real or just an audiophile marketing trick.
Now, I have to confess that, to my ears, the Nap 250.2 is more then "a better amp".
It's a far better amp.
To my ears, in my enviroment, the Nap 250.2 added scale, warmth, detail and its control of the B&W 804 was miles away from the Nap 200.
Its Mid-Bass are amazing,
it has a full sound with more body,
it has more grip and more sound character
...and at it's price point in my opinion it's a bergain.
I begun to belive in the NAIM UPGRADE PATH.
More to come
