A website called FindHDMusic.com allows you to look for high-definition music tracks on all of the online digital music services with one simple search. It is sort of a cleaning house with one stop shopping for the 100,000 – 150,000 high-resolution tracks in existence. Pretty amazing!

I don’t now what the arm was (I presume it was a Vertere – maybe their Reference), nor the cables, or the phono stage - perhaps someone from Naim can help out. Physically, a very imposing set-up, if...
