Removing the cascode means less amplifier stabilisation is required: that doubles the slew rate and delivers another uplift in sound quality. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe phono circuit topology comprises 3 stages: the gain stage, passive equalisation and final gain and active equalisation. This enables excellent noise performance, extended RIAA equalisation beyond the audio band and great overload headroom. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll RIAA equalisation capacitors are ‘through-hole’ mounted film designs, with low microphonic pickup and excellent transient performance. As phono stages are 1000x more sensitive than other inputs, this greatly benefits the sound quality. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput impedance is 47kΩ in parallel with 470F capacitive loading;  the gain is perfect for 5mV moving magnet cartridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NAIT XS 3 has received significant performance upgrades, including a built-in phono stage, making it a perfect partner for turntables, as well as for streamers, CD players, or any other music source people want to enjoy with the signature Naim sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NAIT XS 3 offers much of the performance of Naim's reference quality SUPERNAIT 3 in a simpler, slimmer package combining a 70W power amplifier with five analogue inputs plus a phono stage. Its high-performance preamplifier stage is as transparent as you would expect from a Naim Audio amplifier, and it also shares the single-ended class-A headphone output of its larger sibling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NAIT XS 3 can be upgraded with Naim's external power supplies, power amplifiers and even cabling upgrades to get the best from all sources. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"productSectionContainerTitle\"\u003eFeatures\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-product-features-text field-type-text-long field-label-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-items\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith Naim's typical obsessive attention to detail – all in service of achieving the most authentic musical performance – the NAIT XS 3 benefits from the following features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass A headphone amplification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlps Blue Velvet volume control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReed relay input selection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic insulators for the power transistors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalvanically isolated microprocessor control section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrophonic-isolating PCB mounts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;
