digi- Others will know better than I, and hopefully chime in, but in reading the Naim forum, most suggest to go with the best PS you can. With that thinking a Highcap would be better. I have not heard either, (yet) I just picked up a CD5 and am enjoying rediscovering some of my CD's. I...

Paging Kuma and the other Naimers..

Hi Kuma- I'll be using Senn 650's with Equinox cable..I know your a Grado fan.. I sold my RS-1's long ago..would be interesting to try them now.. I'll likely go the FC2 route as then 1 box can do both. It will be interesting to compare the Headline/HR-2..I should have the FC & Headline...

Thanks Kuma, A Flatcap2 & Headline are maybe in the works & I'll likely try and go all DIN connections. If I'm going Naim, I may as well go all the way..

Hmm..just curious, what did you not like about the 5x?

Well I did it. I found a lightly used CD5 someone was selling not far from me for $1100 & I pulled the trigger. Now it's time to try the Naim kool-aid and see what I think. I'll be using it with my HR-2 amp for now, but if I like the sound, I may go all Naim with a FlatCap2 & Headline...

YBA has a very good reputation in the audio world...

Great job. The bad only bad thing (for my pocket anyway) is I've been SERIOUSLY thinking about getting a Wadia 301 or 302..

Sigh... add Wadia to my list to my list of CDP's to check out.. I'm in the market for a new source..

Thanks for the reply Kuma. I'm seriously thinking about going with a Naim headphone setup & I'm in the process of researching my options. I heard a friends 5x and really liked it. I like what I've read about Naim as a company, how they design their products, and what i've heard on a...

Question to the Naim folk; If I was running say a CD5x with a Naim Headline I would need a power supply (say a Hicap) for the Headline correct? Also, how would I connect the Headline to the CD5x via the power supply, direct to the player, or do I need a naim intgrated amp? I guess my...

I download music into my ipod in apple lossless or at minimum 320AAC and use Senn PX100's for phones. I find the sound quality to be very good. I can't imagine someone saying different who listens to it. FWIW my home rig is a Merdian 588>RSA HR-2>Michael Wolff IC's>Senn 650/Equinox cable...

Audiogon is probably best.

I'm interested in this also. What Naim headphone setup would you Naim folks get if you were starting over?

I think you've made a fine choice Welly. The Ayre player seems like a winner, and is quite a bit cheaper price wise then say the Audio Research. Just think of all the MUSIC you can buy with the difference, and I really don't feel you'll be giving up much (if anything) in sound quality. I...

Welly, I've been following your search for a new CDP as I am in the market eventually to replace my Meridian 588. I see in your profile, you are buying an Audio Research player? What made you change from the Wadia? Just curious.. I like the Meridian sound, and a G08 is a high on my...

I'd spend more on the CDP than the amp.

i'd go with the Cambridge for sure. They make fine products, and I'm a FIRM beliver in buying the best source you can afford.

Whatever you decide, try and buy used. You'll get much more bang for the buck and audiogon or here at head-fi have all kinds of cables up for sale all the time. I was able to buy a pait of Michel Wolff IC's used that I couldn't have afforded new. They've made a big difference in my system...

I've always been intrigued by the Mapleshade footers & heavyhat tweaks but haven't pulled the trigger. Did you find these made a big difference? Wondering what they'd do to my Meridian 588..

GREAT JOB mark.. I've bought a pair of Wolff IC's and 2 Iron Lung Cords based mostly on your reviews & have been quite happy.. Do you have thoughts on isolation of components? Vibrapods? BDR Cones? I've been playing with Michael Wolff's "Tuning" Pads which produce some subtle effects...

Can anyone tell me how Myo's cable compares to the Equinox?? (Which i just bought) I may have to buy it & see..

I use the Caig as well.

Great news, Can anyone post a link where I can order these? I checked Senn's website but can't seem to find them.

HI Beav, Thanks for the reply. Yes I have the Silver/Gold IC's (W/WBT connectors) and am really happy with them. My setup is Meridian 588>RSA HR-2>Cardas Cord>Senn 650's and the Wolff's have made this rig sound the best it ever has. I'm not as skilled at reviews as most here, but they...
