Michael Jackson's iconic song "Bad" from IWISTAO HIFI Power Amplifier 80Wx2 Stereo NAP140

The IWISTAO HIFI Power Amplifier 80Wx2 Stereo NAP140 is a product that audiophiles will find particularly intriguing. Modeled after the legendary Naim NAP140, this amplifier carries the essence of what makes Naim amplifiers so revered in the audio community. Often compared to Linn turntables in their iconic status, Naim amplifiers are known for their warm and mellow tones, delivering a listening experience that captures the hearts of true music enthusiasts.

Despite its understated appearance, the Naim NAP140 has gained a cult following for its ability to provide a rich and immersive audio experience. While the price of Naim amplifiers can be steep, those who appreciate expert craftsmanship and superior sound quality find the investment worthwhile. This amplifier isn’t just a device; it’s an experience. Once you’ve listened to it, it’s hard to imagine settling for anything else.

Personally, I hold the NAP140 circuit in high regard, comparable to my affection for the iconic 1969 circuit. While the sound quality of the NAP140 is on par with the 1969 circuit, it surpasses it in terms of output power. A defining characteristic of the NAP140’s architecture is its predominantly second-harmonic distortion, which lends it a tonal quality reminiscent of the charming warmth of tube amplifiers. However, unlike tube amplifiers, the NAP140 achieves this harmonic richness with remarkable efficiency and precision.

The IWISTAO HIFI Power Amplifier brings the essence of the Naim NAP140 to a wider audience, offering a taste of its renowned mellow and soft sound. For those who value musicality and tonal charm, this amplifier is a compelling option that bridges the gap between classic designs and modern accessibility.
