Lefty,
. I've just sold my Compass's, realising that the Shahinian presentation masks much of what i love in Naim, and my 2nd Nait2/IBL office system grooves much more than any Shahinian i've owned which includes Compass/Arc/Obelisk. Gary.
What do you mean by that Gary as I'm considering getting a pair of Shahinians but the trouble is as I will be buying secondhand I won't know what they sound like in my system until they are in situ and paid for.
System LP12/Naim Nac52/Supercap/Nap135s and Dacmagic soon to be upgraded. Digital is the main source of listening.
Hi Per,
I've currently got the A30 (6550s) on home dem. It is proving to be quite a capable performer!

I am on the SE coast and if you are in my area than you are welcome to a listen.

Offer extended (am in Brighton). I run Obelisks.
Hi Lefty,
What is your DAC now? Are we still in the same "group"?
It's reassuring to hear of the Arcs being successfully partnered with such a diverse range of amplifiers.
The 30w Pure Sound A30 certainly seems to be taking the Arcs in its stride, driving them to decent levels without any stress.

Hi Lefty,
The Supernait is the most "unmusical" amp of Naim IMHO. .
Perhaps I am expecting too much from high end audio? I just feel that when I spend that much money on a piece of kit, I want it to rock my world every single time I listen to it... without fail.
It was a very 'impressive' sounding bit of kit and is deserving of its reputation IMO. I found it very hard to criticise its sound on a technical level. However, the longer I listened, the more I found it left me cold. I just wasn't connecting with the music. It lacked what I would call the ability to communicate and involve. I do have a lot of respect for it though.
it seems hard to believe that 30w can drive arcs, would you say they are
warm and fast and gets a grip on the music.
