In the red elypse the capacitors which I would change for better ones like OSCONS. The yellow wire are the NOS conversion and the trace cuts are marked red. Add to this the NOS cut and there you have a dream player.

Lampization thrashes the NAIM 4-opamp per channel analog stage.Д®ven if the op-amps are the best, and application is the best, it looses to the tube in every imaginable department. With just one Siemens ECC801S it sounds so much better than the stock player that I can not tell you. Genius at work! The small transformer and the tube is from me. It is so simple and good that I recommend it very much. On the picture you can see the inside of CD3. Not much space for lampizator but there is some. Just say: one - two - three and cut 3 tracks on the PCB. It really allows this player to improve A GREAT DEAL! It should be obbligatory even without any other tweaking or lampization.

(The number 9) The last possible upgrade would be the clock - there is a standard one. The LAST mechanism from Philips magnetic CDM's. I really fell in love with this mechanism. The famous 6 regulators with back of the box serving as a radiator. These are the active elements - opamps and relais - which we will no longer use.

The cost of this mod - snipit and NOS - is 10 Euros for a pair of decent MKP caps (or tantalum in this case, connected plus to opamp, minus to RCA). Add to this a quick NOS mod and the player plays MUCH better than stock unit. The above drawing shows my tried and tested suggestion for a snipit modification - connecting the first opamp to RCA's via a capacitor. I drilled the 10 mm holes for the RCA sockets. What a stupidity NOT providing RCA's at least as an option on the side. The caps around DAC - all kosher MKP's And the DAC is a S1!!! 200 VA is less than in the big NAIM but still this player has HUGELY oversized transformer. Opamps - one of the best -OPA 604 from Burr-Brown. Almost none of the caps are ultra sophisticated tantalum like in more costly modells. BUT - back to the goodies: Check out - 6 voltage regulators and) each one - high end Linear Technologies LM317 - best of the best.

I think that using tantalum caps is a decisive factor in creation of NAIM house sound. Very narcistic The green PCB is screaming 'NAIM job!!!' I don't know any other maker so fanatical about star grounding, tantalum caps and regulation by LM317. I love it both before and even more - after lampization. This CD3 sound is very dynamic, rhytmical, natural sounding. The grounding, the regulation, the capacitors - everything is from the best league, head and shoulders above the Philips / Marantz machines of that time. Where this machine excells constructionwise is the PCB layout, simplicity of digital section and cool mechanism. NAIM CD3 NAIM CD3 JThis player definitely deserves some serious attention.

Why one box instead of two? The importance of the power supply.
