Naim NPX 300 (demo)

Naim NPX 300 - Optimized power and performance

Naim NPX 300 is sold as a demo model in really nice condition. It has been unpacked and inspected, so everything works exactly as it should.

There may be a few small cosmetic marks, but nothing that affects function or performance. A serious external power supply that significantly elevates the performance, calmness, and dynamics of your Naim setup – ready to become part of an ambitious high-end system. An obvious opportunity to get even more out of your music at a sharper price than new.

With the new NPX300 power supply from Naim, you can achieve even higher performance from the 200 Series sources and preamplifiers. NPX 300 deactivates the internal power supply, which leads to an immediate reduction in noise and provides a superior, cleaner power supply. The option to upgrade through external power supplies is almost the backbone of Naim's design philosophy, because it provides less interference, less vibration, larger transformers, larger capacitor banks, and more precise regulation, all of which give you better sound from your components.

When you are in the high-end segment, one of the biggest improvements you can make is to upgrade the power supply for your components' circuitry. Naim believes that this improvement is best achieved through linear power supplies based on toroidal transformers. The difference without and with an NPX300 in your system is like going from a 6-cylinder to a 12-cylinder. The difference is like night and day, and it is due in part to Naim's patented discrete regulators, which ensure ultra-precise voltage regulation and an ultra-low noise level for your components. Naim NPX 300 is the perfect match for the new NSC 222, NSS 333 and NAP 250.

Highlights:

• Large linear power supply with Naim's patented DR technology
• First-class components
• 6 pcs. Naim DR modules for ultra-precise voltage regulation
• Naim's own Burndy cables to power the NSC 222 are included in the price
• Backward compatible
• Can power, for example, NDX, NDX 2 and NAC-N 272 via S-XPS Burndy cable

NPX 300 - Technology & design

The NPX 300 powers your system in a silent, fluid way, allowing the preamplifier to concentrate on its main task: controlling the signal. In addition to improving the performance of the NSC 222 preamplifier and streamer, the NPX 300 can be used to upgrade several Naim products, lending them immense flexibility over time. It is also possible to add two NPX 300 power supplies to a single preamplifier or a single source. The first can be dedicated to powering the digital sections, and the second to powering the analog sections.

Controlled power

The NPX 300 incorporates a new transformer, which works with six exclusive Naim power regulators (DR technology - Discrete Regulator), providing a cleaner power to your system. Less “noise” means a better sound! It works perfectly with the 200 Series products, and is also compatible with the NDX2 or even the NAC-N 272 – you just need the specific cables.

Inspired by the best

At Naim, all our choices are made with the aim of creating a unique emotional connection with music, and offering you the best products in their category. The NPX300 includes a certain number of innovations used on the flagship Naim 555PS DR power supply, such as the separation of the digital and analog power supplies via dedicated Burndy cables.

The story of Naim and aluminium

Our founder, Julian Vereker, immediately understood the many benefits of aluminium as a material for wrapping Naim electronic components. He knew that delicate audio components are very sensitive to the effects of magnetic fields, unstable temperatures, unwanted vibrations, etc. While other manufacturers were bending thin sheets of steel, Naim used thick plates of aluminium.

The Naim Classic range maximises this highly technical and durable approach, with aluminium housings rivalled only by Statement, our flagship product. Naim chose a superior-quality aluminium, which optimally combines thermal and microphonic properties. The front panels are treated with solid 20mm-thick aluminium billets; heat sinks frame the side panels and 5mm plates cover the top and bottom surfaces of the products. The aluminium is brushed, sandblasted and anodised to guarantee unalterable beauty throughout the product's life. The New Classic range can be immediately distinguished with one look and one touch, before the first note of music even plays.
