It doesn't matter if the Naim pre is better than average if the rest of the system can't resolve differences. Stating that 16/44 can capture "everything" that comes off LP is not all that clever, given that we know for a fact that frequencies above 20kHz can exist on LP. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21836 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
