About the NAT-101

The Naim NAT-101 is a high-quality FM tuner introduced in 1986, designed to deliver excellent sound quality with a simple user interface. It operates in the VHF/FM tuning range of 87.5-108 MHz and outputs 250 mV per channel at 100% modulation. The tuner features a mechanical frequency display that brightens when on station to aid tuning. It uses a self-adjusting system that switches progressively from mono to full stereo based on signal strength. Power is supplied by the SNAPS power supply, which can also power a pre-amplifier. The tuner requires a high-quality directional roof aerial for optimal reception and does not support aerial pre-amplifiers as they interfere with its automatic operation. The unit measures 205 mm (W) x 300 mm (D) x 76 mm (H), while the SNAPS power supply measures 205 mm (W) x 165 mm (D) x 76 mm (H). It is highly regarded for its sound quality even decades after its release and remains sought after by audiophiles.
