Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
Best in the 10 k price range so far if pair with harbeth speakers and is in a treated room.

Strengths:
Sound stage, holographic is very good.I confirm evrything the previous review said, the performance is very live, matched with a turn table it sings ....
The bass is perfect, the mids are never borring and the highs are realistic.
Case is very high quality.

Weaknesses:
For some people this soud is too much realistic, whatever you listen with it will captivate you for its good rythm and dynamics, forget the clinical sound of expensive hifi gear : that can be a weakness or a strenght. The sound is sometimes harsh in the upper middle range and electronic sounding overall : i still never heared a transistor amp with no electronic sound. The only thing this amp lacks compaired to 8 k tubes ones is this.

Similar Products Used:
Lavardin, audio research, dared, jolida, many others.

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $2100.00 from Quest For Sound - Br

Summary:
This amp is very seductive sounding - of course with the right speakers - Almost tubelike without the neurosis. Articulates well and can ride a rythm forever. I would say this is best naim nait 5i that naim never built.

This amp is a treasure - it revels all the illusion of a great hifi product - another bargain that reaches well out of its class

Again, only use with a easier load type of speaker - ok with 4 ohms as long as load is easy -

A giant step up from the 5350 se with loads more class and refinemen!!!!!

Strengths:
Liquidity - Articulation - Soundstage - Bass

Weaknesses:
Must use with load tolerant speker
