Naim Audio amplification

A Naim Audio system rack

Naim Audio is a specialist British manufacturer of high-end audio amplifiers well known for their self described qualities of "pace, rhythm and timing".[1][2]

The company has a sui generis approach to audio design, ignoring specifications and power ratings as indicators of the quality of an amplifier.

Naim's approach includes, but is not limited to, absence of tone controls,[3][4] the use of the DIN connectors instead of the RCA connector used almost everywhere in the home audio equipment industry,[1][5][6] and reliance on over-engineered external power supply units (PSU) to deliver current for musical transients.[4][7]

The company's two-channel NAP 250 amplifier made its début in 1975.
