    I too have had this experience with a number of Naim dealers, however other Naim dealers have not been like this. I guess it's just a case of finding a good dealer.

    I can recall one experience with a Naim dealer about 10 years ago after I had demmed a CDI/72/hicap/140. He rang me up at work a week or so after the dem and had a go at me for not buying the system, even though I explained that the sound wasnt really for me. Unbelievable:rolleyes:

    Re: Re: Re: Jason

    A common misunderstanding Michael, it actually refers to a manufacturer of fine titanium works of art, who themselves take their name from a graceful bird of prey.

    As the company in question has now sold out, and I have switched allegience to their offshoot, a custom build specialist, I really should change my moniker.

    Yes, maybe this is a more balanced view point, there are 'Bad Eggs' in every walk of life :rolleyes:

    Nice piccy Chris? Is it your rig? Sadly now Merlin are owned by Litespeed, it seems some of the magic has gone. The old Merlin crew are still doing the busines though, check out

    Ti Art!

    I didn't know you were a demon of dirt!

    Hi mike

    Short memory chap? we had a chat about it a few months ago..

    Unfortunately not my sled, I havent got disc brakes on my merlin, and its a Taiga not an XLM.

    You ride a Ti cross country bike too dont you? Ive forgotten which? Litespeed?

    Havent ridden in about 4 years due to back indjury - mainly swim now. I keep the bike though, one day I'll take it up again.

    I still day-dream of hamsterly forrest ... :)

    oh well, back to boxes of electronics ! :rolleyes:

    Too right with the short memory!! I vaguely recalled but wasn't sure.

    I've got a Seven Sola (as in the link), which was nice as it is custom built to my body measurements and is so comfortable, I'd recommend custom to anyone with back problems.

    We'll have to get you out in the Chilterns again!

    Still, we've gone far OT.

    Back on track, I know that Naim have slightly changed direction sonically speaking over the past few years. Do you guys feel this has diluted the attraction somewhat?

    "winning friends?"

    You only need one friend in this life, anyone that needs all people to like them is probably pretty insecure.

    If you've taken a dislike to me, which from where I'm sitting seems to be the case, I've no interest in winning you over, it's up to you penance?

    Regards

    Barnie.

    no dislike, i just passed a comment
    confused by your antagonistic reaction tbh
    explanation of why your so keen to call someone a prat without any reason?, or are you just an agro type guy?

    plenty of friends in real life, but thx for caring:)
