I am in the market for some new stands but cannot afford Naim. Can anyone give advice on Isoblue, Hutter and Ash. Or perhaps you can point me to previous links. Sorry if this has been aired to death but the site "find" facility seems to have been down...

Greetings,I have just purchased a used NAC 202. I am using a Nait 5 as power amp, waiting on the arrival of a NAP 150. The volume control on the 202 is way more sensitive than the Nait 5. I can only turn it up to about 9:00-10:00 before it becomes too...

Home cinema projectorIs it possible to buy a really good home cinema projector for less than £3,000 ?(I don't think that a 50 inch plasma is big enough to get that 'cinema' effect.)Whilst I appreciate that the audio part of AV is important, I...

And it flew over all the way from the U S of A!Michael Fremer in "Stereophile" was kind enough to praise the new Sumiko Blackbird cartridge with comments such as "though it outwardly resembles the Blue Point Special and has the same output of 2.5mV,...

So my 'kit' now consists of the stonking (as you say) Nait 2 with a CDX2 and my Ruark CL30's. The sound is quite wonderful and is quite liveable, i think-- very fast and even tonally right for a change. I feel it only lacks that last little bit of...
