The Naim Supernait 3 is designed according to Naim's "less is more" philosophy. The amplifier combines a completely discrete, hand-selected Class A preamp with a high-quality MM phono input. The internal wiring is minimalist, with direct signal paths for pure sound reproduction. The robust aluminum housing protects against microphonics and electromagnetic influences. Development and assembly take place in Salisbury, England, under the direction of engineers such as Steve Sells.
Naim Audio was founded in 1973 by Julian Vereker, a British engineer with a passion for electronics and music. In 1985, the company first received the prestigious Queen's Award, a recognition that was later awarded twice more. In 1991, the company introduced its first CD player, the CDS, with a two-piece enclosure for improved performance. In 2000, the iconic NAP 500 amplifier was launched, followed by the development of the Statement amplifier system in 2014, a milestone in their engineering.
