Link : http://www.neilmcbride.co.uk/

Explanation : A fairly dated site with details of how to modify naim amps [everything before the nac-52 / nac-82 -- it IS quite old] which gives a good idea of the naim design philosophy .. e.g. which pre-amps use two voltage rails; which power amps have regulated power supplies.

[The various edits are because I could not get the www.... to work. Explanation ... leave a gap after "Link:" and instead of "Link:www..." put "Link: www....].
