Good Points

Just bought a Naim Audio CDX from Ebay, I should of let it warm up first, i know i know. I've been after a good player for 10 years and finally took the plunge. I have 4 Naim Amps..Pre, 2 Power plus flat cap. My old player is a reference Technics flagship model, don't laugh, it ROX! Back to the CDX, warmed up a lil the openness is present the moment its turned on even from cold. Vocals Soar like Golden Eagle high in the mountains,separation is awesome, recovery of under lying information,umm..its like finding a bundle of 20s in the road. Warmed up after 3 days it keeps getting better...


Bad Points

After I wrote all the good points in reflection there has to be a down side, I hear just two, this wouldn't properly apply to many of you so don't worry too much. To me its the difference between keeping it and selling it. The player is very polite, it almost tips its hat to you and opens the door for you. I feel that it controls the music rather than the music telling it how it wants to be heard. The Technics player has awesome Bass slam, the Naim hasn't the same punch on the nose. Like i said i love rock. I'm going to upgrade the cable and add a power supply and then i might be happy? If not then I will sell it to a person with less discriminating taste.


General Comments

Naim Audio CDX review - How come everything great is always so expensive. If you get it right then you will smile and drown in your own glee as the music flows over you in a tidal wave of glory. Anyone buying a Naim must have a deep passion for music, you must love it. This is a commitment to yourself. Its great to upgrade and that is the beauty of buying a top brand!, there's always something to add. As the law of returns shrinks so does your bank account at least you will leave behind a beautiful System...
