How cynical can you get?!

I've had my CD5, flatcap, 112, 150 for a week now and it sounds amazing.

And... I made it myself.

So, cagey about loudspeakers eh?

Obviously something embarrassing.

Ever cynical

I am asking a question not passing judgement.

Just because someone works somewhere does not mean they have, or must have, some special loyalty or belief.

I have friends who work for MGRover who drive Fords (they are not allowed to park in the company car park though).

I have several friends who are teachers in comprehensive schools and at least 2 of those have their children in private education.

My humble but very satisfying system is on my profile...

I wish I could have made my CD5/112/FC2/150, that would have been fascinating.

Come on Paul - tell everyone how long it took you to build your supercap!

When I joined the company , over 5 years ago now , I was still using a 52PS so as part of my induction I was required to build a supercap, from scratch I may add. The whole task took me a ball breaking four days and three hours if I remember rightly and cost me a box of chocolates for a certain Sue Jennings on production who saved me at least as long.

Wise move, Paul--I build/repair/re-wire on an almost daily basis here and have a great amount of respect for the long-honed and -acquired skill of the folks who wire the stuff.

For what it's worth, about the only things in my system wired up from scratch are a Prefix and an Armageddon (NAPSA)--things that I knew I couldn't screw up. (The rest of system is in “Systems Analysis” thread)

Have built a pair of SBLs and a quite a few amps / power supplies from scratch--every bit rewarding as you adjust the last wire tie...

Chaps

Just to be really awkward

May I ask the chaps/Ladies of Naim whether they use racks and also do they have a dedicated spur.

I suspect they think we are a bunch of saddos, my wife certainly does.

racks for most of the system, and dedicated spur in my case.

Sorry to try to get you reveal your hidden talents.! The point was to illustrate that your induction to naim was not just being informed about the products and the business. Besides, I am still full of admiration that it only took you that long!

If I see you at the barbie - the next pint's on me.
