Hi My system is as follows: NAC 62,NAP 140 both 1988 and a CD3.5 1989.I have been advised to change my NAC 62 & replace it with a NAC 72 and keep my NAP 140,I understand the design/signal path for cd is different between the 62 and 72.Now chaps who can advise me what benefit/improvement would I gain, as anyone compaired/ setup a 62 /72 side by side comparison test. hopefully you can advise. Thank you Regards Robin

Naim speaker cables have solid cores, so one Saturday afternoon I thought I would try changing my Gale XL315 multicore cable for 12 amp mains cable as an experiment. The idea being that Naim cable is solid core and so is the mains cable and they are...

Last week I found a 2hand cd2 in town. I was stupid enough to take it home for a demo. Needless to say I did not bring it back. It makes my PMC tb1's sing through my Nait2. Even my girlfriend was amazed how much better the player sounded than my Denon...
