Tomic there is a lot going on with this gentleman's post hence the suggestion to have him call us  as we sell most of the brands he was inquiring about. 

The Cary SLP does he mean the SLP 98? Don't think there was an 89.

What kind of cables is he running? Musical preference?

The Parasound is warm does he want warm both the Cary and the Prima Luna would be a bit on the warm side? 

The Naim Ndx 2 is excellent it is not overly warm like most Naim gear is, rather clean  sounding, great feature set. 

Is he going with a tube preamp for soundstaging or to amelorate a perceived brightness?

The SLP 98 was a fantastic preamp very musical and not too lush. Pesonally if he does not want too much warmth then the CJ ET 3 now discountinued would be more neutral. The ATC are very well balanced and are neither dull nor bright, the amp is a bit on the warm side. 

Hence we are trying to find out what the OP is trying to create as a sonic balance.

Oddfyi you cant have it both ways we announce we are dealers because we are told we have to let people know our affiliations.

Others dealers such as Audio Connection also say they are dealers in their retorts you dont have an issue with them now do you?

When we list our products in posts you think free advertising we list those brands to prove a point.

If you are interested in computer servers whoose advice would you take the guy who sells one or two brands or the guy who sells five?

It is up to the poster or reader if they want to reach out to us or not.

The reality is only a few people have ever purchased from us while our posts have helped many.

Oddfyi you and a small group of others have issues with us.

Many people do not they are not as vocal as you. 

If you actually look at many of our responses we are giving good advice or calling attention to products that might not be getting notice.

The fact that we sell and have direct experience with many brands helps enrich the forums.

We started a post to find out about the new peachtree gear and it was shut down because of you and george 

We do not sell Peachtree at all but are looking at flnding a 1k streming amp.

Is that fair.

You will find we have many more fans then you and your merry band of detractors.

The fact that you would not want to visit our shop which is one of the best on the East Coast because of a forum post is proof positive of how small you are.

If you really want to gauge reality it isnt on a forum it is in reality.

Oddfyi and Mes we have a right to post and you should ask the op if we what we are saying is beneficial. 

I mean how many dealers sell Cary.
ATC, and Naim? Go to ATC page and check


Oddfyi believe it or not not everyone replies to our posts and purchases from us. 

Clearthink thank you for your fairness. 

Oddfyi we have over 30yrs of professional exp plus one of the largest collections of gear in the area if you dont think we can offer great advice you are sorely mistaken.

Please show some civility you act like we took the prize from your cereal box.
