the price swing is because the naim is still built in the u.k. and the consonance is from china. both are competitive players, but the naim(name)is a better investment for the longterm. it rocks too.
Naim Cd5i versus Consonance cd-120
I was planning to buy an used Naim Cd5i for $800, but when I gave the offer, it had already been sold to someone else. Then I decided to buy the Consonance CD-120. Both of these players received the "best buy" tag from Hi-Fi Choice mag, and in the UK both models have similar prices. In the US, however, the Consonance is sold at a much smaller price, only $1100, compared to the $1700 of the Naim model.
What I want to know is this: have some of you listened to both players? Do you think the difference between their performances is significant?
