New Product Announcement on Thursday

Four products ?

Waiting for Statement to trickle-down to the pre-amps after it has already touched the power amps ?

Pre-amp prices frozen this year ?

It's got to be new versions of 202, 282, 252 and 552. Forget the teaser video images.

I suspect the new versions are the 272 and 372, and that the existing line will be canned. My dealer told me that they hardly sell any these days. 

Having viewed the video many, many times; this is what I have discovered...

1. It requires a three phase mains supply
2. It has an array of high powered lasers to scan vinyl discs and their covers (as they spin on what you all thought was a volume control). This scanning process is destructive but actually improves the sound quality of the original vinyl.
3. It eschews modern SSD storage in favour of ferrite core storage which gives a much more authentic sound.

You forget to add that the device will simulate the run of 10.000 times to give Vinyl it's typical gray feeling before it is being scanned. 

And there is is also a special version which is called the authentic line and it stores the music on floppy....

I've worked it out! It's an 8 track cartridge player. 

And after the final capture of the music on the Vinyl, the Vinyl will be dissolved in a bath of hydrochloric acid.

If we want to have 1000 posts on Thursday, we need to speed up posting here. We are behind schedule.

We could go for another number, like 372 posts, for example.

I'm loving the fun here ...

but seriously, "infinite possibilities" must refer to server/streamer for multi-room mustn't it?

... that still leads me to some upgrade to the UnitiServ style with integrated pre-amp.

It's either got to replace multiple boxes with comparable quality;

... or be something that is, as many have said, a lifestyle component that won't be of too much interest to the forum;

... or (my favourite) the silence generator that is re-imagining everything and has infinite possibilities - this will, of course, include the Super Noir cabling loom.

Why stop at 372? OK, it's to comfort those who'll have to wait  for a 372 a bit longer, whilst the new UServe 2 (left hand box) and Ueberuniti (full size box as in the video) see the light of day in Colorado.

What does reimagined mean?

imagine my music collection, okay, I don't have to imagine, I can actively think about it. 

Reimagine it, imagine it again?

I know marketers have to market and that fact I'm posting here at all means it's working but it's a strange phrase. 

Let's hope the R&D department do better than the marketing department. 

But then maybe I'll eat my words and be reimagining (or more likely remortgaging) come this Thursday.

I wonder if it contains an infinite improbability drive ?

As the announcement post from Naim was in "Home Theatre" I am guessing a new AV system?

4 products, but there seems to be consistent guessing at one product.  How about a suite of new products that are styled after Muso but replace qute and XS product lines?

Who knows, its somebody else's problem

Well a fresh cup of really hot tea always helps my afternoon listening...

Can you have infinite possibilities?  Discuss.

Yes of course but is it a countable infinity or an uncountable infinity?

But, infinity doesn't exist.

This reminds me of an experience I had with my maths teacher. We always disagreed on things, and infinity was the subject of that period. He must be the kind of teacher everybody in the UK is longing for, quite 'Grammar School'. After the certain exam I refused to give back my exam paper because I considered the choice of topics biased, he had chosen to ask all questions on the topic we profoundly disagreed. He tried to get my paper and I started to run having the paper in my hands. While running circles in the classroom being chased by my maths teacher, I was shouting at him 'this is infinity, this is infinity'.

It depends what you mean by exist.

Countable infinity is defined as the number of natural numbers (1, 2, 3...).

Uncountable infinity is the number of real numbers (including all fractions and, crucially, irrational numbers such as π which can never be completely computed).

They are concepts in mathematics.

Of course, if Zeno's paradox was correct he would never have caught you.

This is the 250th. Next stop, 272. Then 300.

My guess is that is misture of uniti/supeuniti+server/ripper/storage, just add the speakers and that´s it in a package to follow the muso statement range design, all-in-one

And the other three?

Quite funny that you mention uncountable infinity. I start to remember that it had to do with this. In my opinion when I was 17 or 18 yrs old - don't know if this still is my opinion - these uncountable numbers are assumptions and therefore such thing as uncountable is an assumption and not a fact.
