What is in a Naim ?

well said, kthomas. this query brings to mind my asking a client in the publishing business whether he thought macs were better than pc's for his applications. he replied by saying: "you know, that's like asking whether it's better to be a catholic than a baptist, and i try not to discuss religion in public."

nait 01 tuna is one of the best going, i dunno much about their other stuff...

the nait is a neet tuna but i tink the onix tuna/soap combo is better and cheeper. gotta admit, tho, never tried a salmon just for the halibut.

As I write this I am listening to an active all naim system.
My advice is to go to a Naim dealer and get a demo of their stuff. It really is unique. It's just not impressive sound( like Krell, Thiel, etc the gear plays music with a flow and pacing that I've never heard before...check it out. Their new CD5 is a great way to see what Naim is all about.

cornfedboy, always glad to hear an erudite gentleman such as yerself speaking out in support of my lowly onix/soap tuna. :>) the place i bought it years ago also had a nait-01 set-up; i woodn't a said the onix bettered it, but it was certainly its equal....
