I always try to get that exact design (the one on the right) of mug when I go to make a coffee rather than one of the other designs. (There are several other designs of current Naim mugs including Mu-so volume control, NAP500 rear panel and swing-out CD drawer...) For me the Statement bus bar just makes the contents taste better.

(Does that make me odd? )

Phil

Odd? Or more odd?

(runs and hides)

I would soooooo love to be able to object to that comment but even OJ's lawyer would give up on that task...

Noooo......not at all!

Now you have shown me the Statement mug, my humble MuSo mug seems somehow broken. Coffee doesn't seem to taste quite as good. Gotta get me one of those funky Statement mugs....I don't care about the cost. 

No worries, nothing to pay, the mugs are free with a Statement system.

Hey, I just keep wanting to reach into the picture and very gently move them both off the top of the 272 so they can't scratch it!

Serious question folks... what does a genuine  Naim mug bring to the taste of a beverage?

And is the effect more pronounced with tea or coffee?

If you're not the owner of a genuine Naim mug, please don't speculate in response... I'm interested to discover the genuine effect of the pukka product, so if you have a Chord Hugo mug (or any other look alike), please refrain from responding.     

 

...and which particular 'version' of Naim mug sounds - erm - I mean tastes best with which beverage and is it room dependent?

I had a really lovely one that was done by our German distributor but eventually the handle came off it.

I was trying to be serious as rjstains asked us to be. But it is now getting plain silly.

Personally I'm more a Smokey Bacon man rather than plain...

Possibly time for the moderator to move this thread to the Padded Cell?

Oh I do hope not...

German engineering ain't what it used to be.

Phil - are you really using a Fraim as a base for your monitor?

Erm ... yes ... It has been photographed by many people on factory tours as being the worlds most expensive monitor stand...
