Very interesting situation.Came home after 5 days to find that the input for the 01 was shorting out(No left channel and noise from the right.). This was strange because I had just used it before we had left. Matter of fact, the 01 has been playing...

HiJust been reading a past post about tightening the bolts on speakers. The problem is that the tweeters on my IBL MK2's Are tightened differently. As I hope you can see on the photo one is flat and one is bent in. Which one is in the correct...

Hi folks. Just moved into a new house, so I've now got a completely different listening room, and I'm astonished at how that really has influenced the sound of the system. I feel that a lot of the crispness has gone, though there's more weight in the...

Does anybody know of any high output (> 4.5mV) cartridges that aren't pure crap. Something that keeps the PRaT alive but doesn't sacrifice too much in the way of tonality? It would probably be used on a Rega P-3 or P-25.Mike

I have a problem. My wife wants to get a carpenter in to create a wall unit for a whole wall of our living room. This is intended to house a TV, my various Naim boxes, books, and my old Linn DMS isobariks.While I love the idea of protecting the...

Ever since Linn introduced the Ittok they have issued dire warnings that their arms must be removed from the turntable before changing cartridges. The theory being that the "considerable forces" involved in tightening the high tensile cartridge bolts...

Where is it?Guess you guys (just like me)are waiting eagerly for one piece (1280*1024) for a decade already right?! Give it to me OR Show me the way!!!Wayne

I currently have CDSII/NAC52/NAP500 (on FRAIM) with SBL's. Despite the accolades being thrown at the NAC552 I believe the next upgrade to do in my system should be directed at the speakers. Not only that I am not ready to splash out the amount...

So my wife has pursuaded me to enter the modern world and buy a DVD player before Christmas. Ideally I would like to replace one black box - the VCR - with a recordable DVD, rather than adding to the black box count.However, is this a pointless...
