Define Flat Earth
Posted by: trickytree on 25 May 2003
Dear All,
I got into a deep Hi-Fi discusion with wife the other day, (this is unusual in itself as her comments are mainly along the 'turn it down/off' variety), and found myself trying to explain what a Flat Earth system is.
After getting in a right muddle and finaly convincing her that I am completly mad I decided that I need a plan of action to liberate future funds for my next upgrade, (wife has just bought a horse box so i'm looking for a Hi-Cap at the very least)
Trouble is i've never totaly convinced her why my amplifier needs to be in two box's, the sugestion of adding a third would have a van load of men in white coats heading my way. Bare in mind that wife's idea of a Hi-Fi is the radio/cassette/cd player in the kitchen and you can understand what im up against.
That is why I foolishly launched into the whole Flat Earth explanation only to realise I hadnt a clue what it meant.
I need your help, my system needs your help.

P.S....all sarcastic and/or generally unhelpfull comments will be passed directly to wife

Hi All,
Just a question, Is it my understanding that as you go up the Naim ladder the earth gets rounder?
I started off from series 3 then the 102,Cdx, and now 82. With each upgrade music becomes clearer, seperation of instruments get wider and wider, more open hence black backround. Are these not the round earth qualities that we suppose to be totally against or am I getting mix up?

In my opinion no body on this forum is against round earth qualities as long as the flat earth qualities are preserved intact.
Yours in Music
