I feel like Rip Van Winkle with Naim's New Gear!
Posted by: Kevinbro on 10 October 2002
I left Naim for the summer, got outdoors. I come back and nothings the same. I look at Naim's product section and everythings changed. It's ALL new gear. The stuff I knew and loved seems replaced. Amps, PreAmps, Speakers, even CD Players. Even the cables. Per the site: "along with those for older models, have all been upgraded!"
I feel that Naim wants me in a complete new system:
Replace 72 with either 252 or 552? Replace 135s with 145s or 300 or 500? Replace XPS with XPS2 and New Design Supercap and flagship CDS2 (not even listed) with CDS3 ...if I want everything to match like a set!
Anybody else feel like this?

Here's me looking forward to getting an old-style XPS on the cheap.
The new stuff may be better than the old in most cases ('scuse pun
). However, many folks (including me) reckon that the Nait 3 is better than the Nait 5, and although it's before my time, the Nait 2 is/was apparently even better still.
Suck it and see, methinks!

It's just a pleasure to hear music as it was intended to be heard.
