he asked me one day to come to his place of residence to test together my CJ ET2 and MV60 SE..... he has never wanted to let leave the CJ combo and he resold the Naim gear.....And Naim associated with Sonus Faber, that makes some music
Then he wanted to listen to a LP12 and he eventually resold his CDX2, he does not listen to more than vinyls

Philippe,
I have been a Naim guy for a while too.
Actually, unless you really go up to the top of the line of Naim ( and there you really pay a huge amount of money...) Naim is imho clearly below the american high end brands like McIntosh and ARC and as I never heard any CJ, I know now that it is true for CJ too....

Hi Jérôme
i like the Naim sound imo Naim makes nice CDP
Naim guys do not generally like tubed amplifiers, they have a different culture, they find that the sound is too much colored and with too much distortion there however they have a lot of respect for two brands which use tube in ....... AR and CJ

Hi Philippe,

I think it makes a big difference. Not only for sound, but with a constant 120V (for me in the USA) output that is rock steady. This helps with bias because voltage does not vary and the bias does not drift very much at all.

Small world Jerome. I used to be a Naim man as well. 52 with K boards driving 4 x 135's active Naim SBL's. I got sick of the relentlessness and SBL's were a little too small for my then new room, so went to a more coloured ( musical ) sound called cj

I still have the LP12, Circkus /Trampolin /Naim ARO and now Troika again. have not upgraded like yourself

What did you have?

Nac 252 / Supercap and Nap 250 /2 with JM Lab Megane Carat speakers and after Linn Keilidh.
Not neutral for my ears. Very nice but far from the naturalness of McIntosh.

A local tech will check out the amp for the loose screw/nut while I wait. I should be able to do it by the end of the week.

Yea!
