I'm reading a review on the Supernait:
" the SuperNait offers 80 watts per channel and 400VA output for transients thanks to the expected, over-engineered, dedicated power supplies that Naim always puts into its designs."
Do they really mean 400W transient?
"Note that this is not a switching power supply, but a 'proper', meat-eating, bourbon-drinking, toroidal transformer with seven discrete windings"
Oh Lordy, really?
"The digital board powers down when an analogue input is selected, to clean up the electrical environment and to eliminate any audiophile paranoia."
Poor saps.
" This wasn't just the usual Pace, Rhythm and Timing thing: certainly all the temporal clues were present and correct but the SuperNait and the Neats seemed able to dig deeper still into the music and get to those telling, often quite deeply submerged, nuances with immeasurable dexterity."
Yawn.... You'd think that a professional journo would have more than a handful of forum cliches at his disposal.
" In a recent conversation with one of the UK's most influential loudspeaker designers and semi-pro jazz players, I was told that few systems truly recreate bass with any real semblance of pitch. He had obviously not heard this system, which seemed uncannily able to convey low frequencies with vivid realism and conviction."
Maybe he just hadn't listened to the bass player, real guitarists never do....
I'm glad I don't subscribe to this particular magazine, I'd want my soul back.
