Re: Playground for practical listening exercices

Yes definitely Spannko. In the past good option was Haybrook HB 0.5 and HB 1, Epos, Linns, but today ??? Being guided by the Source First philosophy, maybe the Nait should remain and the search for a complimentary pair of speakers should begin. Answers on the back of a post card, as they used to say!

Re: Tony Tune-age System

+1, as is "darker quality" or "sound" of 3 concert halls that I visit for live classical music concerts ... Of course it’s a difference!

Re: Playground for practical listening exercices

Yes Charlie1, I agree with you about Nait ... Especially if it "-" are accepted ... This is result of what we listen here ... In room / live I agree that the big picture is different ... Nait VS 12/110 VS 32.5/HI/250 no doubt is clear ... :) I do agree that the Nait is more coherent and tuneful. It ...

Thank you for your prompt and in detail answer Charlie1. You mean Linn K20 is = to Naim 4 cable ... If yes ... is it the same 3.5 m/L at least, as is for Naim 5 cable ? Yes, same cable as NACA4, but softer plastic so more flexible. Yeah, supposed to be 3.5m minimum as well AFAIR, although I'm not su...
