Recently I was introduced to a rather large Naim system at a home concert. The owner of the home/system introduced me to the Naim rep who happened to be attending who kindly gave me the tour explaining all the design attributes of the line. Now most of it made sense except for the claim as to enhanced timing resolution. He stated that equipment of lessor caliber can have timing accuracies, changing the timing relationships between the different instruments in a recording. I asked if he was really saying that a piece of audio gear was moving the instruments relative to an other other and he said "yes." I've been an Audio Professional for over 20 years and I have never heard this effect. What's any body think about this?
