Naim Audio of UK will be in Sounds N Images soon.

The Famous Nait 5i, Naim CD5x and the Naim CD5i will be available soon.

http://www.naim-audio.com/products/cd5i.html

"This is a player with impeccable pace and timing, no doubting it – the CD5i sounded tight and focused, and got to the point without any fuss. I played all sorts of material on it, from rock and pop to jazz and electronica, and from ethnic to classical. It never disappointed, handling everything thrown at it with aplomb."

http://202.186.86.35/audio/story.asp?fi ... ile/22naim



http://www.naim-audio.com/products/cd5x.html

"Once warmed-up properly (allow several days on repeat play), the CD5x immediately impressed with a tangible musical presentation that reminded me at once of a well-sorted record-player. There was no hint of coldness or flatness – indeed I see the word ‘organic’ in my listening notes.

Not only did the CD5x impart music with genuine body, it showed no signs of favoritism. Well, it’s true to say Naim has not lost its special way with energetic musical genres, but now it doesn’t matter if that means rock, jazz, symphonic, or electronic."




http://www.naim-audio.com/products/nait5i.html

"When coupled with the Nait 5i, the CD5i sounds quite remarkable, which was no surprise, as the two components were made to work togethers. The bass was significantly better—not bigger and fuller, but tighter. The bass was so prodigious that it reminded me of the Dali MS4s ($9000). I was now getting that sound from my Grands. Bravo. This CD/amp combo completely controlled the bass on my Grands, never letting it overwhelm the music. The soundstage also increased substantially with the addition of the CD 5i. With my Arcam cd72T, the soundstage usually extends just beyond my speakers, but with the CD 5i, it expanded well beyond them. This was very enjoyable. The combo sounds more like musicians playing in a theatre, where there is a lot of space between the instruments, rather than in a studio, where there is much less space. I prefer the big, open sound of the theatre. "

Hi Jen! What combo did you had the pleasure of listening to?... Nait5i/CD5i or Nait5i & CD5x? Can you believe the output impedance of the CD5x in particular? 10ohms max.!!! Is the presentation not forward or a bit shouty?

Shouty--not in Naim's vocabulary! Jen probably can elaborate better

stephen...shouty you mean?? IMHO, to make it simple...the Naim CDP, Naim Amp and Harbeth Speakers...it's a combo that i cannot find any fault...it is well balanced...it has a synergy wherein the character is unique...unlike in other systems (even my own) wherein you notice the highs are extended, mids are to die for, bass is slam-banging...this one is simple -- well-balanced in terms of total presentation...and you really get to enjoy the music rather than the equipment...

I have heard all and find the Naim CD5x a very musical satisfying CDP.
I own many tube amps but find the Nait 5 in my system to be very easy to listen to. Naim makes music, just that simple.

Dear Ferdie,

Can you kindly send me the pricelist of Nait 5i, Naim CD5x and the Naim CD5i.

I am currently building up my audio set-up and have heard that Naims are good equipment.

my email address is josejbjj@econo.ideal-access.ph

Hope to hear from you soon.

Regards,

JoeyGS

it would be best if you can buy a used power supply for that cd player. A new CD player is quite astronomical. 5 years ago when we bought a PS for a CDX2, it costed us new close to $4,500. I dont know what the current price is now. PLus on your CD player thats almost mandatory.

Pls call me at 0918-937-6470 if you have concerns.

regards

Ferdie
