No, i dont think i would call it clinical. But clean/clear sound it is, no added cream/sugar. And its big fun to listen to this amp! ( if it was clinical, it would be boring?) Amp history: Rega,Naim,Arcam,Rotel,Audiolab,Luxman,Acurus,NAD +.

I actually bought the ida-16 6 days ago. Crazy powerfull integrated, with built-in ESS Sabre 32/384 DSD DAC. I guess it's just as good as the rave reviews concludes, but this is "a Swiss instrument" kind of amp; Cystal clear, neutral, powerfull sound. It really grabs the speakers (and...

Hi, ready to share :quest: Got the new v.UQ myself. I believe the new DAC/Amp combo is Naim going backwards;removing all the good functionallity and simplicity from the UQ, adding another box, must now buy a decent interconnect, double the price.. come on! Please Dommer, tell me that the UQ...

Just found this link: http://www.reson.ch/de/Elan-Serie/Epos/Lautsprecher/Elan-30 Google translated german text. Regarding the bass, i am sure you and the mags got it right. Good! Must work with my set up then.. BTW: Rave reviews :clap:

Happy to learn that! Could you please share your thoughts on the "deep end" of the 30`s? Managed to tame it? And the general Creek/Epos match -i`m very curious! I am satisfied most of the time with the bass, which gives the music a welcome fundament. It just digs too deep sometimes, almost as...

L&G`s; I can give you my first impressions, -I got the Elan 30 connected to my Naim UnitiQute 6 days ago :grin: First, the build quality is just_fantastic_! I got them in beautiful cherry finish, wood not vinyl mind you. Comes with a high quality bolt-on plint with solid spikes/tablettes and...

This is what i will figure out, as this can "just" be a synergy issue with AN-K. After all, these speakers love SETs.. And it`s NOT a bad sounding unit. In fact, it`s starting to grow on me. My ears adjusting or breaking in..i dont know.. I will keep it, as i am currently using ALL...

Thanks! Exciting speakers, -supposed to be a great match with Naim, and Guru got a new model "Junior" coming up as well. Read some raves about them yesterday. Nice looking combo:? http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii554/Davebk1/GuruJuniorWalnut.jpg Problem: Close to unknown brand here in...

Hi guys, and thanks for your reply! I sold the Regas 1) to try out Naim and 2) i wanted all the functions for my living room. Everything i need! Therefore i would prefer to keep the Qute. I am using all 4 DAC dig.ins, including Ipod dock for charging, streaming function, iRadio/FM/DAB...

Hi all! Brit advice needed :) Two weeks ago, i sold my Rega Brio R + Rega DAC. Excellent sound!! Speakers: Audio Note AN-K. But after 1.5 years with this set up, i wanted soooo bad to try the Naim Qute. So i got it,- with recommended NAC5A cables. I love the UQ for all it`s features so it...

Thanks! Problem; Can`t get hold of them for an audit here in Oslo:( AND, not sure if i like their looks.. but it`s Rega, and not very high £ either:) BR, Erik

Hi concertino I've found Monitor Audio's superb new GX50's and GX100's to work a treat with Rega's Brio R and DAC :) Btw, Dynaudio's Excite X12's are also worth a look. All the best Rick @ Musicraft Hi Rick and thanks! Yes, MA could be worth an audit as well :) I will gooogle them...

Thanks a lot for advice! The Spendors are not cheap over here so not my first choice anyway.Heard some rumours that Neat Motive could "bottom out"(?) and sometimes be a tad to bright as well. Looks like the ProAc`s could be my speaker. I don`t need club level at the moment. Living in an old...

Hi all! I would love to try out "UK speakers" on my BrioR/DAC. I am now using Sonus Faber Concertino Domus and it sounds wonderful. But still, i miss some exitement as these speakers are kind of very warm and romantic. On the other side there are no unpleasant S`s or shrills and it`s important...

Thanks! It shure does. And now that the Rega is performing as it should, i would love to try some compact "Made in UK" floor standers like the Spendors (A3?) Neat Motive 2, Tannoy DC6T Sign. etc. BTW: I just realized that you have the big brothers of mine in your HiFi! I love the SF`s but...
