Yep, ive had 3/4 of the Naim shoebox pre/power amp combos. 5 Quad pre and power amps. A modern Rega shoebox size integrated, 3 Roksan Kandy integrated amps, a Roksan top loading CD player, a really fancy Naim CD player and probably more i've forgotten about. None of it excited me one bit.
True the CD players are probably the worst of Naim's products. Two years after purchase: "I'm sorry sir the laser is made by Philips so we cannot warrant it." No doubt the OLED displays are bought in too. Otherwise the service life is exceptional — basically, you just forget about your hi-fi.
Are you including Naim or Rega or Quad or Roksan in that?
