Solstice happens on June 22nd. Tomorrow is the longest day in the northern hemisphere. Bigger fish = bigger risk. I had product reliability issues with this brand before. I would think twice before buying from them.
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder and to my eyes Naim has never been a marque that one purchases for its visual aesthetics. The turntable design looks pretty much in keeping with the boxy retro design of the rest of their line up. I was a bit surprised to learn that Clearaudio actually manufactures the deck for Naim as it looks quite different from the usual Clearaudio design.
Like the new Luxman Integrated amplifier, I hate limited edition campaigns.
Ridiculous to put buying pressure of limited editions on customers. Equipment in this price range is limited enough by the fact that only a happy few can afford it.
I would buy based on the SQ and looks, not because I need a collectors item.
