However, there are far more 'Closet M/F knockers' than outed ones

I think the point is that they are prepared for the individual tastes rather than just going down one road.
If you turn up with two products offering very different presentations, different people will prefer one or the other. So the guy wants a little comfort zone on the end of his Naim gear, without trying it he would not realise.
Both CD players are no doubt excellent in their own way, and you might equally find some people who prefer a Naim CD player on the end of their Nuvista kit. Kudos to the people concerned for being open minded IMO.

Trouble is, found one going secondhand, it was DIRE...morbidly dull, a pioneer a400 whipped it, no joke...AND it had the cheapest jamcon korean whatever capacitors you can imagine....yes it may not make a difference, I am not really a components person, but I do like those coke can size caps. and big old carbon resistors...
this was like a ferrari on the outside with ford parts on the inside..I would expect more at the price..some nice elnas...if ken ishi can do it, so can they...
Back in the distant past, when I was selling MF, it was widely alledged that the review samples used the same circuitry but different components to the retail product. Seem's things haven't changed

Well, Ken Kessler likes MF, so it must be good. He also hates Naim, and he likes, wait for it, Wharfdale. Has he got a Scooby Doo what he's talking about? Nope![]()
I apologise in advance if I've upset any K.K fans.

Well, it's his job to have great knowledge of hi-fi, that's what he gets paid for after all. That doesn't stop me being entitled to question some of his recommendations, does it?

MF has changed its house sound somewhat in the past decade, but my fave piece of MF kit was the Typhoon monobloc power amps partnered with its matching pre amp. How this little amp combo could be described as sleep inducing I'm not sure.![]()

Markus, I agree entirely with your last post. Merlin constantly comes across as if he has some kind of hidden agenda, he harangues Naim users, and, with me, seeks to be confrontational at any opportunity.
He also conveniently ignores your questions.
Marco.

Where is this cynicism that keeps being pointed at MF???
