Not sure if this should be in the HiFi Corner, but here goes...My brother tells me that when he is burning DVDs, not only is there a regional DVD format, but there are also other formats, for which you need to buy specific format discs, and you need...

On Sunday I switched everything off and unplugged all boxes because of the lightning.Last night when I got back from work I decided to move everything round, move the power amp and PS away from the radiator and sources. All very nice. But when I...

Hi thereI have been reading a lot about Mana Soundbases recently and wonder if anyone has tried them under Shahinian Arcs. I know that the Arcs little wooden feet are really meant to go on the floor but cannot help wondering what kind of change this...

The other evening I returned to my system, having bedded the sprogs to find that the LH channel was silent. I checked the back of the speakers, OK, I checked on >1 source, all the same. I then turned it all off (except the NAPSC) and left it for 5...

I've just arrived at my sisters house in Australia for a short holiday. Sadly, they are not into good music or electronic toys at all and all they have is a Home Theater-in-a-box Samsung thingy. It's speakers are about 4 inches square and it has a...

I was looking at some reissued Miles Davis vinyl in a record shop the other day and noticed some were reportedly analogue remastered while others digitally remastered. Would a digital remastering of a presumably original analogue recording destroy...

Hi,I have made the mistake of putting my Aro on my LP12 To cut a long story short, I had previously made comparisons between my LP12/Vahalla/Ittok and my Thorens 124/Ittok and much preferred the later, to the point I was considering selling the...

The Flat/Round Earth polarizing of hifi is silly and dated. Naim is not giving in or going "Round". They are maturing, applying experience and new technology to eliminate playback distortions, revealing a more complete, natural musical picture. Great...

Background:A year or so ago I bought a Tom Evans Microgroove and spent quite a while sorting out a mystery hum. Although I think the unit was partially at fault (and was replaced) I found out that it was mostly a combination of earth hum via the rega...

I am new to this forum, so for the past few days I have been reading through some old posts. Some very good topics too by the way. One I come accross quite a few times is about some people having a harsh bright sound with Naim. This was also pointed...

Hi guys,I'm using a NAC72/NAP180 for the last 3 or 4 months now, and suddenly remembered something about board pulling the NAC72, to optimise sound-quality.Now, at this moment I've got my 72 (ser.nr 100xxx) lying naked in front of me, without its...
