Brass Weights

Funny thing about Naim gear is that, though the chassis seem pretty dense, they are prone to vibration. While the music was playing, we tapped along the top plates, and the sound changed. In fact, when we did this to the BAT VK-300x SE, we discovered that the 6H30s were microphonic!

Many Naim users experiment with different shelves and footers, each effecting various degrees of change. In my rooms, the CDX2 benefitted tremendously from the HRS pucks. The XPS2's transformer often buzzes, and I have no idea why that buzz was louder in my home, versus at my parents' place.

But as you can see from posts here on AA, opinions vary a great deal, regarding Naim products. If you happen to be one who loves Naim, great! Go on, enjoy, and forget about the rest. If you don't like Naim, please tell us where and why it failed to please you, so you can tip others off, ensure that they don't fall into the same pits and traps.
