Hi: You had better give the NAIT a careful listen-I found them to be bright and grainy. The Arcams to which I've lsitened did not suffer those same problems but seemed underwhelming. Have you thought to try the Audio Analogue and Audio Refinement integrated amps in your range (they are the Complet and the Puccini SE, I forget which goes with which!) both have been well rated and seem to be well worth a listen. best wishes and good luck
Naim Nait, Alpha 10, or Used Separates?
I'm trying to decide between the Naim Nait, the Arcam Alpha 10, and used separates. I'm considering pairing a B&K Pre with the Power Modules Belles amp, and running the system through Tukans or old B&W Matrix'. Power is not a big consideration -- small apartment -- but sound quality is. I'm trying to spend less than $1500 on the amp/pre combo or integrated unit. Thoughts?
