I'm mostly happy with my Naim CD5X and Nait 5i (into Snell Type K/II). But on those odd occasions when I have a solid hour or two to listen to music, I find the sound tiring. The Naim route to a less aggressive sound, I've been told, is (1) swap the 5i for XS (2) power supplies. Neither appeals -- too pricey. I've had the chance to listen to the Rega Apollo/Mira, but that seemed to go too far in the opposite direction for me. How about Exposure? I'm especially curious about the original 2010/3010 series, as they seem to be a bargain s/h, but I have no experience of them and no chance to audition (hifi desert).
