CD5 includes power cable, interconnect, remote, puck.

Nait 5 includes power cable, and IIRC remote.

You buy the NACA5 in the length you require, in white or black - min 3.5m per side.

Please correct me if wrong about the Remotes.

Welcome Maserluv,

Rico's right about the remotes. You get one either way. If you're going to purchase a CD5 (new) it's worthwhile trying to wangle one or two extra pucks out of your dealer. It's best to use a new one every year or so, and, given they're just a piece of rubber they're not cheap.

You do get the Din-to-Din interconnecvt, but you don't get the NACA5 cable. The good news however, it's one of the cheapest good cables around.

The puck is a small disc with magnets and rubber feet which is used to hold the cd in place when you play it (I presume - it may have other functions as well, I'll leave that one to the more knowledgeable members of the forum).

If you had to ask about this you clearly have not had a dealer dem. One of the first questions I asked when I saw the CD5 was "what the puck's that?" smile

I recently bought some NACA5 at £6.25 per metre plus cost of plugs.

what is puck?

You don't know about puck? The entire CD5 revolves around the puck! It's Naim's kryptonite!

Why do you even want to have a CD5 when you don;t know about puck?
