Very interesting. It was a good read. He sure does stock a lot of British equipment.
AND: He was the main man in the recording of the Charlie Haden & Chris Anderson CD. He assisted with the other recordings and even took the photographs. I have more Naim CDs, I just have to track them down!
I have quite a few Linn recordings on Vinyl and SACD/CD, although they are good quality recordings, I always found the Naim recordings to be more natural and vibrant with a sense of the acoustic space. Linn CDs sound denser and slightly compacted - hence less engaging than the Naim’s… The Linn SACDs do sound excellent but overall I still preferred the Naim CDs…!
