Naim NAIT5si integrated amplifier

Pros

A wide frequency range, the most delicate tall and deep bottoms. Very expressive sound.

Minuses

The power circuit breaker at the back, there is no relay of turning off the speakers because of which when you turn on/off the click in the acoustics.

Review

I chose from amplifiers in the price category up to $ 1,500. I went through a dozen in the cabin. I saw the insides of this Neum in the photo because of which I didn’t even want to listen, so modestly everything seemed to me except for a trance. Thanks to the seller for making me listen. From the first sounds it became clear - it is he, he is my sound and my amplifier. Everyone else in this price category simply disappears, I myself spent more than a dozen in my life. 5SI is special, here it is not even necessary for gold ears - the sound is exceptionally expressive, the top of the cleanest, the bottom of the thoracous deep and embossed. I’ve been sitting on it for seven years and I’m not going to change anything.

Pros

Bright, musical, alive, plays any genres

Minuses

Lack of DAC, buttons on the rear panel

Review

The most interesting amplifier of those that I listened. It plays absolutely any music, any genres. It pulls out all the nuances from music. The sound is characteristic, with the Neumovsky color. Compared it to the XS 2. 5SI model, it is not strangely wins. 5SI is more lively, bright. XS 2 has a dry and neutral sound. Of the minuses: there is no protection when turning on. Usually in amplifiers when you turn it on for a few seconds, the relay clicks and it turns on. On the neim, there are immediately sharp cotton in the columns when turning on and off.

Pros

Pretty good dynamics, stylish appearance

Minuses

weak, not particularly suitable for calm listening

Review

There are a lot of reviews about this amplifier, both enthusiastic and those who are in the trash. It seems to me that the point here is that the amplifier is not a gen us to universal. His destiny is fast, dynamic music, this amplifier does not know how to sad. Hence the misunderstanding arises. People who love to listen to calm vocal parties or slow piano sonatas, the same Eric Sati, feel that the amplifier continues to push them with their irresistible thirst for life and dynamics. Again, you should not connect tight nobolniks to him - he was already, nevertheless, not very heavy shells. Music, of course, will play, but the control of the bass is no longer at all as it should be. The appearance, of course, should also be noted - the magic of Naim in the form of black rectangles with a green logo is and in the darkness of fire acts at all 100 :-) It is recommended for cheerful people who like to listen to drives and are not used to sad.

Pros

Normal sound for digitized music

Minuses

On Hi-End, I still agree in any way.

Review

I bought a comrade from me this amplifier invited me to listen. Started with vinyl. Tecnics turntable 1200 Ortofon Black, phono-corrector Pro-ject Phono Box RS. Acoustics Diatone DS-501. Good solid sound hi-fi. The scene is even a little with the predominant bass. But do not compare with amplifiers of the old school AKAI, Tecnics, etc.. About lamps I do not write, we compare the transistor and transistor. The next was CD Denon player with him. The picture became a slightly different middle became more voluminous. With Denon Ceol 9, it was also good. From a flash drive, Hi-Res played very well and jazz and orchestral music. By filling. At 1300 Baku in it there is nothing maximum 500-600. Good Hi-FI for digitized music. Not for vinyl and magnetic recording (it also turns out to be listened to as well as I). This is only my opinion and my perception of sound. All good.

Expressive sound, sophistication and meticulousness of transmission in general balance in the entire strip.

Minuses

In waiting mode, consumes 19 watts, a bit too much.

Review

The NAIM NAIT 5SI amplifier Affordable Hi-End at an affordable price. He controls the acoustics connected to it, rhythmic, emotional. Equipped with a new headphone amplifier. I recommend that a high -class amplifier for a home stereo system.

Pros

It is difficult to highlight (personally my opinion)

Minuses

I will leave without comment

Review

What is written here is my personal opinion, so kick: I didn’t like the amplifier - I don’t know why, but not mine, although the components were connected under it. Here they wrote that it feels like BMW 1 of the series - I did not feel that. When he came home and looked his insides - I honestly say a little ..... I was confused. Why pay such money? In fact, one almost empty fee with conders and a toroidal transformer? I was told that they sought the shortest signal path-but there are companies of the same price category (Denon PMA-1520Ae, Yamaha A-S 1000, etc.), as well as a higher category of Hi-Fi and Hi-End, and inside them Not so scarce - I'm not talking about overly stuffed components, but still. In short, be sure to listen - if you take your sound - everyone has different ears and tastes, but I did not like the English sound (in the presentation of Naim Nait 5si). And yes - the consultants said correctly - the sound of NAIM may be liked, or maybe not - the choice is yours.
