Nain CD5 vs. Slim Devices Transporter
Posted by: DaveBk on 20 August 2008
As promised on an earlier thread, I started some A/B comparisons of the CD5 and the Slim Transporter tonight.
Both are connected via standard Naim interconnects to a NAC112, and then onto a NAP150 driving a pair of Monitor Audio Silver RS6s.
I syncronised the start of tracks on Julia Fordham's That's Live and switched between sources listening carefully...
First impressions are that they offer near identical musical experiences, both detailed with good stereo imaging. If anything the CD5's base seemed a little blurred in comparison to the Transporter.
I will leave the CD5 powered on overnight and continue tomorrow with some more varied material after it's nicely warmed up and stable.
