Anyone who was anyone had a system comprising LP12 turntable, Naim amps, and Linn speakers. Then Linn made the fatal mistake of building their own amplifier. Naim went ballistic and responded with the Armageddon power supply for the LP12, quickly followed by the ARO pickup arm and then started making speakers. That's ancient history, and I'd guess that Naim and Linn are probably now on speaking terms (like an old divorced couple). But they are strictly competitors rather than partners.

I think the music industry is reaping what it sowed for decades. They incorporated royalties into the price of their products but many people have paid the same royalties over and over when they bought the same music in new formats. This is robbery. Now the shoe is on the other foot so they bring out the lawyers. Those labels and artists showing foresight and working with the public (not against them) will reap the positive rewards in time.

I have also read where several people said they liked RCA better when they A-B'ed. Still, gotta love that *click* though when connecting the balanced connections. I plan to buy a pair of Golden Cross cables as I've heard they are very smooth. RCA and XLR are equal in price for those cables.

Since then it's all been rather small improvements to be honest. Picking up David's point, I tend to use a handfull of tracks to assess initial quality.

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] TP as pre, split rca or not?
Hi, as some may recall http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46329highlight=audiolab I am experimenting with TP direct to amp. Since the to-be-removed pre is actually a pre/integrated I'm thinking about biamping (passively as per recent thread). I also already have the required speaker cables, so it would cost nothing. The only 'but' is that as far as I can see I would need to split the RCA output from the TP (my amps do not have XLR). Are there any drawbacks to this ? Would I be better of going with just one amp ? I know I could just try, but I do not have an RCA splitter so any opinions I can gather, before going further, are greatly appreciated. For all I know it could be the worst of ideas, I really don't know. Thanks, Edit: I looked at some forum threads about rca-splitting, but they seem to be more about just the splitting.

I am sure sound wise it would at least give the Transporter a good run for the money. Too bad it is sooo much money. Surely the power supply and case isolation would be a lot more than the Transporter? Personally and in my humble opinion, I really think that the Mac and now Naim NMP come down to the fact that they both know they have to get their hat in the ring, toe in the door, or whatever analogy you want to use. Mac went the dress up somebody elses proven product as a Mac route. Naim looked at what was out there and decided they had to build a product they could put their name on. With Mac setting the bar at $6000, it made it easier for Naim to go over the top. Sure I can see somebody building the audiophile of audiophile Network Media Player. The one with the separate power supply, all digital in another box, and all analog in yet another box while putting a price tag on it that makes it the NMP to have (read second mortgage expensive). But I do not see Naim or Mac trying to do this. They want some skin in the game and are going after the non-computer user that will not believe ripped CDs can sound good unless a name like Mac or Naim is associated with it. It is for the guy/gal that can use a CDP which makes them able to feed a NMP that does it all for them. What really surprised me about the Mac and the Naim was that they did not force you to buy a DAC. When I heard they were going to make a NMP, I was sure it was going to be a head unit with digital out only. But on reflection, I guess that goes against the all in one box theory to get the non computer using audiophile to buy a Network Media Player! I think Wes Philips said it best in his review of the Mac MS750, There are still logical reasons why a consumer might buy a McIntosh MS750, especially if cost is no constraint. In that case, go ahead and get the Mac and the digital processor of your choice. But a little bit of computer savvy, a $300 Slim Devices Squeezebox, and that same processor will get you to the same sonic place for significantly less. Did you notice what I noticed? Wes says buy the Mac (if money isn't an issue) and oh by the way also get the DAC of your choice. I just paid $6000 and I still need to pay another $3000 for the DAC of my choice!? I am with Wes on this one. Buy either the Transporter or put a Duet with the Bel Canto's e.One DAC3 for NMP Audio Nirvana.

47k is, actually, quite low. 100k is typical, but as long as your SOURCE device has a lower output impedance than your DESTINATION device, all is good. According to my TP spec sheet, it's output is 100-ohms. If you're feeding two devices at 47k each the total impedance will be half, or 23.5k, which is WELL within tolerance. You NEVER want your input impedance to be equal to or lower than the output. There will be a level difference because of the mis-match (simplified definition).
