Have you ever bothered to try an AIR vs Naim comparison?
Nice Turntable, by the way!
Hi Confused,
I didn't want a PC system spinning in a corner and for a fact the US sounded better than any PC system I compared it too (not many though). US presented an easy system (amazing good sounding) for a guy like me that have absolute no interest in computers. I had Naim CDS, CDX etc and always liked the Naim way and now even digital out. Still have a CDX2 for a second system. Left the Naim amps long ago but their digital always struck a cord with me.
Air versions has never been on my list due to the few occasions I compared it to a solid link that was better so I prefer the BNC out. Though I did not compare the Devs Air vs other and for a fact I didn't bother.
Dr Feickert represent, for me of course, superb value for the money and the Woodpecker beat several double priced turntables including their own Blackbird model as I though Woodpecker had better 'boogie' factor. I am after all an old Naim devotee. I am waiting for Feickerts own arm or otherwise it will be a Reed 3P, which will better my present Jelco at least from my own comparisons.
