| Naim Hicap2 vs Teddycap vs Avondale power supplies Smholl, I have also heard this, but I emailed Naimand also according to my dealer the newer integratedamps will not become unstable with shorter runs butthey will sound better with 12 feet because they don'thave something technical that I can't re... | |
| Naim Hicap2 vs Teddycap vs Avondale power supplies Smholl, did you use the recommended 12 feet?I have been informed that the 12 feet is required for optimal impedance. I am notsure if this is true for other wire.What is the length of your Analysis Plus Oval 9?Do you have a Niam front end? | |
| Naim Hicap2 vs Teddycap vs Avondale power supplies Muzikat, do you have all Naim gear andwire? My XS does have a nice sound withgood sound staging, and detail but it doesnot make my DeVore super 8's sing. It ismore on the fatiguing side. On the otherhand my Exposure 2010s really makes the 8'ssing ... | |
| Naim Hicap2 vs Teddycap vs Avondale power supplies Thanks for the link Muzikat. I have checkout pinkfish but I am not getting a gooddescription of the sonic differences. Especially with the Avondale tpx2. Also, I am not sure if the new Hicap2 isan improvement over the regular Hicap whichis used fo... | |
| Naim Supernait vs XS vs Exposure 2010s Realhifi, I was under the impression thatthe flatcap and hicap can only power thepreamp section of the Supernait and the XS.Are you saying they can also power theircd players? | |
| Naim Supernait vs XS vs Exposure 2010s Hi John, Really appreciate your input.If you would care to compare andcontrast the Exposre 2010s and theNaim gear it would be most appreciated.Love your speakers by the way. | |
| Shuguang Treasure tubes.... I am curious if anyone has tried these tubesin a Cary 300b SEI. I would also like tohear from those that have full burn in.I have tried several 300b's and have foundthat some of them sound really good forabout 50 hours and then they lose there sou... | |
| Naim Supernait vs XS vs Exposure 2010s We tried the cdx2,cds2 and the cds3.The cds2 with its respective separatepower supply really through out thewidest soundstage that seemed to floatout on a plane. It was very organicin its sound and was the most satisfying with vocals. However, the... | |
| Naim Supernait vs XS vs Exposure 2010s Like I said, I am not all that familiarwith Naim and I was thinking that theflatcap would power the XS and not justthe preamp. Thanks for clearing that up.Sounds like you have really good synergy.I always felt the Supernait was lacking indetail al... | |
| Naim Supernait vs XS vs Exposure 2010s Dbarger, you have now piqued my interestin the Nordost pc. I currently haveShunyata's Python and Anaconda alpha helixesnot to mention an old King Cobra v2. Soundslike the Nordost is a good match for Naim.Curious how they compare.Did you lose any o... | |
| Naim Supernait vs XS vs Exposure 2010s Dbarger, please elaborate on the Hi-cap. Is it the latest model? I am not that familiarwith Naim but I know there is a Hi-cap2.What improvements do you get in regards totransparency, inner detail and soundstaging?Have you tried an after market pc ... | |
| Naim Supernait vs XS vs Exposure 2010s First of all, I would like to say thanksfor everyone's input.It is true that John DeVore recommends bothExposure and Sugden for int ss amps. He alsoreally likes my Cary 300b sei for tubes. On the other hand, he has not had a chance to hear his spe... | |
| Naim Supernait vs XS vs Exposure 2010s In my room the 15 watt (or is it 20?)Cary has more than enoughpower for the 8's. In fact, it has morelow end weight than my RWA 30.2. The 30.2 has a little more control of thelow end but I always find the Cary to besatisfying with what ever genre ... | |
| Naim Supernait vs XS vs Exposure 2010s Actually, I do have tubes.I have a Cary 300b sei single endedtriode and I do like it a lot.However, I also like different perspectivesand options in sound. That is why I liketo have several integrated amps on hand.As long as they are not too large... | |
| DeVore Super 8s with SS amp? I have the same tastes as you andthat is why I fell in love with theDeVore super 8's. I have been in thishobby for many years and I have neverexperienced a speaker this musical andaddictive. I initially heard them with the Naimsupernait and cdx2. ... |
