I have heard NAIM can sound great, but I have also read that you should not mix NAIM and other "non Naim" components together. Does that stand for their CDX player as well?
As for the home theater I may still wind up expanding it later to a full 5.1 but the emphasis is on the ability to play good 2 channel. Unfortunately I just moved and don't know anyone who has good equipment to try. Most of my friends who have " killer systems" here, have 200 dollar receivers by yamaha and kenwood............not exactly what I am looking to demo! How can you tell if a 2 channel pre has the ability to pass through a home theater processor? I have read something about unity gain but don't understand. anyone have 2 minutes and a box of crayons to help me out?
Thanks
Sam
