Densen vs Naim/Linn

[Music Lover]

So... is Densen good?
Is it producing musik like the UK companies?
Anybody compared them with Naim/Linn...

From Densen homepage...

Our main focus is to achieve the best possible "airguitar factor"; only when your equipment sounds so good that it makes you want to stand up and play the airguitar or become an "air-conductor" - only then have we achieved what we wanted: to create musical experiences so great that you forget everything and focus 100% on the music.

The Denson system I listened to was a little Naim like, though imagine it being rounded off a little, but with more positive "round earth" attributes being added in. In other words, just another compromise, like somewhere between Meridian and Naim (IMO).
Personally I wasn't that impressed, left me a little underwhelmed, but then each to their own and I can understand why others may love them.

Yes!....My dealer was very impressed with my Pete Townsend arm failing impression, but drew the line at my Keith Moon when I kicked in the screen of his AV set-up!

Densen do’s it for me!

Densen is all right. It is a bit more roundearth than Naim,but does Prat quite well.I´m thinking to buy a Densen B110

After heard the Densen,I know this is the amplifier I want!

Think twice Nuno

Densen is like Naim only you need to consider wanky wires and other un-naim stuff.

You get tune in the Linn sense, and PR&T in the Naim sense. You also higher volumes without strain, loss of dynamics or tonal integrity.

loss of dynamics or tonal integrity.

pretty much, hard pressed, my view too

Densen offer a Limetime Warranty to the original owner. Only the original owner though. This is significantly better than many UK brands, that only offer a two year warranty.

Naver had the chance to listen to any Densen gear. If the feeling is that it sounds similar to Naim but slightly more rounded, would Rega be a similar comparison?

Brad.

It might be,but Densen sound is colder.And to my ears is more refined than Rega!

[Alex S]

It depends a bit what Densen gear you're talking about. Naim/Linn is a bit of a generalisation.

[Steven Toy]

would Rega be a similar comparison?

The Densen sonic signature is more dynamic and better defined than Rega. Rega is more sweet verging on lush.

So, rounder than Naim, but colder than and not so sweet/lush as Rega. Is the bass both airy and light, or is that too much to hope for?

I've compared Naim and Densen rather extensively here:
