I have very recently been demonstrated a Naim Supernait during a demonstration/comparison session within a Group of listeners.
It was used following a EAR Valve Amp' and Prior to a Retro Valve Integrated Amp. The Naim was for myself the most difficult to adapt to out of the follow up comparison, it does not compare well to a Valve Power Amp or Retro Valve Integrated, the Naim was not what I would say, a reflection of some of the SS Amp's I have heard and been impressed by. .
I suggested the next demo' would be better if compared to other SS Amp's.
I have been demonstrated SS Amp's in comparison to SS and Valve, and the outcome has been much more impressive, where the SS Model, is recognised for its attractive traits.
Out of Eight attendees, the Owner and One other were vociferous for their attraction to the Naim.
