Isotek Range

Thats interesting. There is a glowing report on their website from a Naim forum memeber!

ok then if Isotek isn't recommended for use with Naim gear, are there any other suggestions?

NB

I already have a musicworks block, it helps but the sistem still suffers from poor mains. Its sounding pretty good at the moment though

I would prefer CDS3/552/500's into MF9's

Russ andrew's do some things that stop other appliances (fridges etc) dumping noise onto the mains

Its not the clicks that are the problem, its the spikes in the supply. We had one yesterday that knocked the TV and satelite sistem out when we were watching it!

We are going a step further than that, we are changing houses. We are fed up with the average light bulb lasting weeks! We move in less than a month

Tom,

I know you don't rate the Isotek stuff but what about the new Isotek powerstation coming out/

Worth an audition?

any idea who it was?

for what its worth i seem to be getting on ok with an isotek minisub, my CDX 2 sings along quite happily..

Actively enjoying it all

DBLs totally blows the NBLs away but otherwister I second You Tom, especially about all filters etc kills the music from naims electronics.

Hi Nick,

I will await your report with interest,

I have tried the isotek range and this thread maybe of interest ...

But bottom line for me was I upgraded to 82+250 to get what I wanted (for near enough the same cost as an isotek sub)
Phil

Very interesting reading Phil, the impression I get is that the Isotek sounds good in the short term but longer listening reveals shortcomings.

The last thing I want to do is screw up the timing of the music.

The new house is only three years old so I am hoping that it should have a much better mains supply.

You are probably going to redecorate anyway so why not invest a few quid in getting the mains sorted out before you do. Given the quality of your system, you really owe it to yourself.

Other than that keep an eye on Tom's leaving thread - the Ben Duncan conditioner was a bit disappointing.

Dave

Dave,

I will keep an eye on Tom's thread and in particular any comments on the Ben Duncan conditioner.

May I ask in what way you thought it was dissapointing?


Regards


NB

Hmmm it affects bass extension. I don't like the sound of that. Having listened to speakers for many months and finding the speaker with the best bass performance I don't want to start playing arounf with it.

The Neat have such a rich midband as well I don't think I want to start playing around with that either. What I am looking for is something that will open up the treble a little, my sistem still sounds a little dull and laid back.


Regards


NB

Improving your Mains will give you that.
