Naim

Naim makes hi-fi electronics. Shibuya Hi-Fi’s earlier bar-system record identifies a NAC72 preamplifier and NAP140 power amplifier.

Design & approach

Naim describes its engineering as an effort to reduce interference between the recorded signal and the listening experience. Its products can form separate source, preamplifier and power-amplifier stages. The Naim equipment in our room records is identified by function and model where the venue provides them.

Inside the system

Shibuya Hi-Fi deliberately separates three listening environments: Klipschorns with Luxman in the HiFi room, JBL speakers with Naim electronics at the bar, and Cathode Bias’s bespoke horn system in the lounge. These should not be described as one interchangeable inventory.
