WARNING

193.129.94.105

Hi Just a short word of warning here,
Naim amps tend to compensated very close to instability, this is part of their characteristic sound and they do not have output inductors. SO what you may think, well if you speed up the PSU by bypassing the electrolitic caps you may push the amp from stable to unstable, paticularly if you have capacitive speaker cable on the ouput of the amp. (thsi can lead to it either running very hot or just going up ina puff of smoke depending upon how much it oscillates). Proceed with caution when changing anything in this type of amp I would stick to things that you know someone else has done to THIS AMP if you don't have the equipment to test its stability (oscilloscope and square wave generator are the minimum requirement)

Regards,
Andy.
