The day has come

Posted by: Lightkeeper on 18 November 2002

The day has come. My CD 5 and Intro 2 was finally arrived after several months of waiting to make company to my Nait 2. My ex cd player was Arcam Alpha 8 and ex speakers was Epos 12. I want to express some comments about "good" alternatives to Naim in speakers and cd players. When I was decide to buy CD 5 and Intro 2, I was listened at home CD 5/Nait 2/Epos 12 and found CD 5 completely uncomperable to Arcam cdp, but just a little dry, especially on top.
CD 5 is a truth high end in order to Arcam and was completely destroy Arcam. The choice was been more than evident. In the meantime, when I was waiting my new Naim components to arrive, I was listened several "good" players in CD 5 price class and more higher, that was include Meridian, Linn, Classe, Thule, Arcam, Rega, Levinson, Anthem, Accuphase and few more which I just can't remember.
CD 5 is more than better of all. The other interesting thing that I was listened Intro 2, but at dealer place and with Cyrus cdp and Nait 5. I wasn't satisfied so much, but the Cyrus wasn't break my believing in Intro 2. After that demo I was decide even without home demo to order Intro 2. My CD 5 and Inro 2 was finally arrived at friday and I just can't believe how good those entry level components sounds. First of all, some people was said that Naim is very good, but don't have a space. This is not true, the first thing what I was hear after turning on a new components is fantastic space, dynamics, air, a lot of life and a truly balanced sound. Some people here in forum said that Inro 2 is thin, oh no, this is absolutely wrong, with all Naim electronics it is not evident. The main thing what I want to say that the talks about that only all Naim system is truth synergy is very right. Now I have the sound what I was dreaming about for six years and that the best sound I've ever heard is in my room, oh god how happy I am. I was living for years mixing so much speakers and players with my Naim amplifier, shure that they are some of them good, but nothing is close to all Naim setup. One more thing what I found is how much I still learn about recreation of sound, Naim tells me what I was always missing and my almost 1000 cd collection now got a whole new dimension.

Five stars for Naim. Keep on doing the best audio in the world, please.
