I have gone back to using an analogue tuner after a couple of years of using a DAB. All the channels are OK except Radio 3 which has now got a slight but noticable warble. All the other BBC stations are fine. I live in the south Bucks area. I suspect...

Hi All,I've got a chance to get a s/h nac112 at a really bargain price. Do you think it can be an upgrade over the 72 in my present system : CDX/72/Hi/250, until getting a 82?I've already read a few posts here on the performance comparison of 72 and...

Can forum members comment on speakers suitable to use in a Naim system which will give the bass slam of the older Linn Isobariks and SARA's.I heard the NAIM Intro2 today and it has a nice tight bass, a reasonable price (in Australia $2,700) .... just...

Hello People,What are we to make of the recent Hi-Fi press and their obsession with the supposed superior formats DVD-A and SACD. All I read is how terrible CD's are and how wonderful these new one's are. Is it all a marketing ploy? Is any new purely...

I've got my heart set on a NAIM system - CD, NAC282 Pre and NAP250 Power and PS plus I think the Intro2 speaker.There is no way I can get to audition any of these items because of the country I live in. So I'm going to have to bite the bullet and buy...

Curiosity question here... lots of old turntables (lo-fi/no-fi stuff like my dad used) had RPM selector switches to play the old 78s, 45s, 33 1/3 for lps, and another speed setting that was 16 RPM. Was there ever a medium that utilized this speed for...
