Naim Nait 2 vs. Rega Mira 3

I went back to the Nait 2 for anyone who is tracking this. The Mira just didn't excite me as much and didn't sound quite as real.

have you since changed from the Nait 2? just curious.

I am still happily using the Niat 2. I recently changed to a Naim CDX, and I am not sure I like it more than the Planet. As people have said about the CDX, it is pretty unforgiving. And, it seems to add a bit of sibilance that I have not heard before. I have to do some more critical listening, however. I may end up back with the Planet. I would never have guessed it. I don't mind a forgiving player, as I listen to a lot of imperfectly recorded music.

Update.  I have tried several amps to replace the Nait 2 and have found none that I like better.  Tried Sugden, Lavardin, and several others.  I can't put my finger on what I like, but I am stuck with it.  I have a 47 Labs Shigaraki digital rig now.  Easily the best CD system at its price--bar none.  I'm about to finally spring for a Linn LP 12.  I am told the synergy is wonderful.  We shall see.

Did you try a Benchmark AHB2?
