REVIEW: Mccormack UDP-1 Deluxe
I was always curious about this player too. Anyone ever compare one to a Naim cd player? I'm currently using a CD5x.  
Poll: Naim owners, what cabling are you using? DIN? RCA? NACA5? Other?
Hi again chayro, Which Flatcap is the matching one for the CD5x: Flatcap 2 or Flatcap 2x? Also, what about a flatcap on the XS integrated?  However, from what you're saying, I get the impression the bigger improvement comes from adding the flatcap...

Wow chayro, you weren’t kidding. I guess it’s off to the Naim Forum...I’ve heard the hi line din is really good. And yes, the plan is to go with flatcaps someday.

mr_m & viridian,I agree with both of you on parts of your comments. Yes, I have 2C’s. Depending on what gear and cabling you use, they can sound rounded on the frequency extremes. Case in point: When I mentioned in my initial post of using a N...

What would be the problem with pairing Vandersteen with Naim? Respectfully. I'm curious about that too?  Viridian?

Hi viridian,Thank you so much for the detailed info! And yes, I see my typo regarding the 5i-2... I meant to write (italic) instead. I didn't realize there were 60wpc XS and XS-2's. I thought all XS-2's are the 70wpc version.   
Integrated recommendation with Vandersteen 2C
Hi Guys, Thanks for the additional feedback. STANDS:There are stands on the 2C's, but yes, I need to plan a drive out to Audio Connection in NJ and pick these up once. I'm in Harrisburg, PA, so it's a journey, but not cross-country travel. I do wa... 
Integrated recommendation with Vandersteen 2C
Audioconnection,Hey John, not I didn’t get them yet. I still think about them too! I wish the sand was out of them so shipping wouldn’t be insane! Speaking of gear, I’m thinking of trying a Simaudio i5 integrated. Curious how that would sound with... 
Integrated recommendation with Vandersteen 2C
Thanks stevecham for the response.  :-) 2psyop and akg_ca, and to anyone else who feels the need...Basically, the best sounding system (to MY ears and regardless of cost) I ever had on the Vandy 2C's in my room was a Creek 4330SE with a Naim CD3.5... 
Integrated recommendation with Vandersteen 2C
Yup, always on it... 
Cable recommendation for Krell & Vandersteen
Hi guys, Thanks for the additional feedback--I appreciate it! I have to correct something I said in my previous post above. I was incorrect about what The Cable Company recommended for my set-up. It was not AQ that was the "warmer" cable, it was K... 
Cable recommendation for Krell & Vandersteen
Currently using mogami 3082 for speaker cable and mogami 2534 for balanced connection between krell components. Sound is good, but seems maybe slightly veiled and slightly boomy in the mid bass. This of course fluctuates a little depending on what... 
Infinity Kappa 8's with a Krell KAV-300i?
Thanks for the input and link Pete. Sounds like I shoulder consider a different speaker.  
lightning cable recommendations for chord mojo?
I’d be interested in the responses on this post too. Which lightning cable are you using now? I used to use the AQ Carbon lightning to USB with my iPhone 5 (now 8) and my HRT iStreamer. (Prior to that, it was a generic lightning to USB cable I bou...
