Always puzzles me that something with on moving parts can sound better after a few weeks of use. Damn black magic, good thing we don’t burn folks at the stake anymore.
Can anyone from Naim shed any light in what the future distribution in AU/NZ is going to be, indeed if any…?
Seems to be little info on the details around Busisoft suddenly ceasing distribution after just a few years – all very strange after the big and plush rebranding of ATA Stores as Focal Powered By Naim ….
Have heard a couple of chats with current dealers and murmurs on what may or not be…but nothing concrete it seems……
Leaving a scenario of no current future distribution…and for that matter, local Support.
So somewhat in the dark as a customer.
Must say, personally, I always thought it was a shame that the former distribution ceased with N.A and Chris Murphy – lovely guy and with a knowledgable and personal touch, and the first time I’ve ever seen something like parity with UK pricing….
I’m enjoying the current fire sale though!, but then again the original pricing was OTT anyway….
I guess it’s back to UK purchasing and shipping, again – still to be beaten really.
SC, see my earlier posts above. I reckon nothing can be said at the moment until certain things are settled. Until then, keep in touch with your Naim dealer as I’m sure they will be the first to know of any news.
Did you get that in Perth ATA by chance, about 2 weeks ago…?! I was in the store getting a couple of things myself and it was mentioned a 555 had been sold earlier……
I kept drooling at the Solstice in the window….but even the store demo was taken…! Crazy times……
But that’s the catch isn’t it – the ‘main’ dealer here in WA is Addicted, which effectively is Busisoft….I’ve had ‘a chat’, and it seemed, well….Smoke & Mirrors and fingers pointing…
I preferred Surrounds, which was the main dealer before ATA and Busisoft arrived on the scene, and there was a great synergy with N.A at the time, but since then they simply are on the end of the Busisoft supply chain……
