When will serial numbers pass 200000?

too fascinating

Just for herm then:

We're on the cusp of passing 199,000 so won't be long before we pass the 200,000 mark.

Richard

Oh please please pleeeeze, Richard, how am I to sleep at night when the big click (five nines in a row!) can occur anytime.

It's a momentous occasion.

OK. What product should carry the 200,000 serial number?

If you could just attach it to the NAP250 I ordered today that would be lovely thanks.

Allan

I would suggest the 250

Although if you wanted to piss people off further you could put it on a nait5i

Ehhhhhh?

I think it would be a very nice gesture if Serial No. 200000 was a CDS3 and offered as a prize in a free draw for all contributors to this forum providing they buy a £5 ticket, proceeds of which to go to charity - what a piece of promo that would be - wotcha think Richard???

David

I think a bit hopeful on the flagship, what about CD5

Chaps

I just wish this thread could be pasted over on the Permanently F****** Moaners (PFM) forum.

Those peasants just go on slagging off Naim and forecasting its demise and here we are with serial number 200000 coming up.

Just shows quality always wins through.

Mick....drinking a quality malt.

Mick,

you know I always agree with you, and I'm totally into this stuff too, what with two Naim sistems. But there's a little problem with your line of reasoning.

McDonald's sells 200.000 Big Macs a day. That doesn't mean it's better than a good restaurant. It's just bigger.

Richard, please: you owe it to us to tell us when nr 200.000 is minted, and what item it is. Let's throw a party on the forum.

Herman

What product carried the 100,000 serial number?

What was number one? or did Julian start at 00?

Did they start numbering right away?

My vote would be for the NAP 250 but they really must do a gold plate on the thing. And then there's the enshrinement...

Your post above does rather try to tar all contributors on PFM with the same anti-Naim brush. From what I've read over there (and contributed to!) your comments are far from being justified.

As PFM is an independent non-manufacturer sponsored forum, you must expect all views to be expressed, even those that you strongly disagree with and which might result in a lifelong ban over here!!

I'm sure it was meant lightheartedly, but by making the comment above, you're only falling into the trap of doing what you condemn others for doing on PFM.

David

Just read some of the recent postings on the last HIfi exhibition. There are a bunch of rejects who delight in devoting 100% of their acid comments towards Naim.

I think that the "modding fraternity" are the gun makers leaving the others to fire the bullets.

Mick

I have modded Naim kit,and I have never slagged off Naim equipment on PFM!

Paul.

I never said all modders slagged off Naim but it is certainly becoming quite a little hobby over there.

Regards

Mick

Please attach number 200K to a 120V CD5i headed to Colorado. Thanks,
Dan

Mick,
I have no interest in turning this thread into a review of threads in another place. Personally, having been to the Heathrow Show (which I'm not sure you attended) I think the general criticism of system performance there (Naim included) was probably justified. Quite clearly leaving the transit bolt in the CDS3 didn't help, but many other makers also got flak, not just Salisbury. IMO the best sound was in the Marantz room and pound for pound the New Nait5i and CD5i - need I say more?

David

Just to let people know, 200001 is an XPS2, and it arrived in West Wales today and is feeding my CDX2 and it sounds great.
