Thanks for that info kuma, while I just bought a Rega Planet 2000 I will probably be moving up the ladder further at some point. Naim gear has been intriguing for me because of their purported PRaT charateristics. The CD5i would have been the model I set my sights on but given your comments I would probably set my sites on the CD5 instead.

With Grado, Rega might not be a bad idea. |
