回复: NAIM用家专栏(二)
2006年开始,新生产的CDX2的Transport有所改变。
由于PHILIPS VAM1250的停产,Naim将库存的VAM1250继续用于CDS3的生产,同时将CDX2的Transport替换成VAM1202,与CD5X和CD5i一样,并做了电路上的调整,以保证新CDX2的声音与老CDX2的声音一样,甚至更好。由于使用了VAM1202,新CDX2也不会有片振橡胶老化问题了。
Tian: I saw the Puck of CDX2 and CD5X/CD5i is become same, without rubber, is this the result of cost reduction? In the CDX2 produced before 2006, they are different, CDX2 use the same Puck as CDS3.
The former CDX2 has the transport VAM1250, same as CDS3. The CD5X/CD5i has the transport VAM1202, which I think should be cheaper. So, will the sound be different bewteen older CDX2 and New CDX2 due to the transport downgraded?
Frank: To clarify, Philips have stopped making the VAM1250. Naim have enough mechanisms to continue making the CDS3 as-is but took the decision to modify the CDX2. The CDX2 had to be tweaked to accommodate the VAM1202 so detail changes were made to ensure it sounded at least as good as the original CDX2. In my opinion it sounds a little better.
And then there's the added benefit of using puck 5 which hasn't got the rubber rings thank God
