| Best "laid-back" speaker cable & interconnects for all Naim system? Hi chayro, Not exactly... Let me explain. I was totally happy with my system when I had the 4330SE. I regret selling it. The ONLY reason I did was because a 5350SE showed up in the ad listings for sale. These don't come up for sale very often, so ... | |
| Best "laid-back" speaker cable & interconnects for all Naim system? chayro, I agree... I think the issue is the amp. It wasn't an issue when I had the 4330SE, and things only changed when I introduced the 5i. Not that the 5i is awful... hardly. Just isn't the right fit. So this begs the question: What should I get... | |
| Best "laid-back" speaker cable & interconnects for all Naim system? 5i owner's manual states naim cables sound best, but you can use a wide range of cables without causing damage to the amp. | |
| Best "laid-back" speaker cable & interconnects for all Naim system? I don't think wattage is the problem. The 4330SE I had prior was 50wpc too and it was plenty for the Vandys. The 5i is plenty loud and clean... the problem is that it doesn't balance right (to my ears) with the rest of my gear. | |
| Jumpers for Integrated Amps: What are you guys using? The 5350SE replaced my 4330SE. There was nothing wrong with the 4330SE. The 5350SE came available and I decided to go for it (Creek gear doesn’t come up for sale very often). When I initially compared the two using my cd player (Naim CD3.5), speak... | |
| Jumpers for Integrated Amps: What are you guys using? I will definitely post back with my findings after trying to PBJ's. I found another post here on A-gon where a guy bought 99.99% pure silver rod and bent it to the shape of his stock U jumpers and said the results were amazing. As I mentioned in m... | |
| Jumpers for Integrated Amps: What are you guys using? Thanks for all the response everyone... I understand now. As for the card some of you were referring to, I believe you are talking about the phono stage? It's an option on Creek integrateds as it is a board that connects inside the unit. When inst... | |
| Jumpers for Integrated Amps: What are you guys using? sfall, mesch & kalali:I don't understand. What does the preamp side being passive have to do with anything? | |
| Best Cable Match for: Creek 4330SE + Rega Apollo + Vandersteen 2C The Naim CD3.5 has arrived. I've been listening for a couple days now and my initial impressions can be summed up in three words: MUSICAL and RHYTHMIC. The third word, DETAILED, I noticed later as I was listening to more complex material. I have... | |

| Best Cable Match for: Creek 4330SE + Rega Apollo + Vandersteen 2C Hey jafant, Still have the DH Labs Q-10's and Air Matrix. Sold the Apollo a little while ago, and have a Naim cdp on the way. It comes with a DIN to RCA made by Chord Company, so I'm interested to see how it sounds. It will be hard to get a refere... | |
| Best Cable Match for: Creek 4330SE + Rega Apollo + Vandersteen 2C I used "romantic" from chrisr's post above. To me, it's a pure marketing term to describe a sound that is soft & fuzzy, warm with slight bloat in the bass. Not as detailed, but still has a neutral treble response. | |
| Comparing these CD players with my gear... Hi mahler123 and everyone... No, I don't need a bunch of extra features. This is for a straight 2-channel system, so no need for blu-ray or USB. I went with the Naim, so that should give you a good idea :) I have an old iPhone 5 & that I use e... | |
| Comparing these CD players with my gear... Will do jafant... I chose the Naim. Never had one before, so I gotta check it off the list. :) | |
| Comparing these CD players with my gear... The Naim comes with a chord din to rca cable.No, the Miles is non-xlr. |
