Thank you for your reply, my gear will be here in a couple of months.  I also have a 500 w SUT but I’m mostly concerned with the speed of the TT & Cass deck and was wondering if that was automatic.  Hope so, will find out soon enough :)

British Integrated Amps
 Never had any Naim gear before, although it looks awesome.  I’ve only ever heard the Nait 3, cd3, and CDX.  The Nait 3 had trouble with Epos ES11’s in a large room, not a good pairing for a large room.  The CD players were phenomenal.Ended up get...
