I've said this before but...Let it rain,let it rain!The last few days have been very wet in Yorkshire and the ground is saturated. The Hi-Fi sounds great with excellent base and smooth sounds.The earth rods must be making good contact!Richard

Hi everyoneSorry to reheat an old topic – however my search in this forum failed to bring up suitable answers.What brands of cable (DIN-DIN interconnects) other than NAIM or CHORD do you guys use from your CDS 2 to a NAIM (82 or 52)...

Hello to all, can anyone tell me where I can obtain a input expander with at least 6 inputs. Or has anyone actually made his or her own? Thanks Ray.

- It is most comfortable for AV2 use to have a dedicated unity gain input. So you don't have to fiddle around with 2 separate volume regulators when switching from stereo to av (and back!!! - autch)- The 52 has a configurable input (besides the phono...

I mentioned this briefly in a recent thread and was asked to expand it a bit. With the spate of CHEAP cdx's to be had currently, I decided to see if it was time to trade in my cd5 for a cdx. So I went to see my friends at Hawthorne, who kindly hooked...

I note that many memebers recommend Stax headphones when advising on suitable headphones for use in a Naim System.Which model do the members consider the best sounding and best value for money.Many thanksNB

The recent acquisition of a CD5 has re-ignited my interest in music and prompted me to do something about the shameful neglect my system has endured over the last few years. The main reason for the neglect is a nasty lower bass resonance in my L...

The latest issue of Stereophile, in celebration of its 40 years of publication, composed a ranking of what they (i.e., John Atkinson) believes are the 100 most important audio products since 1962 (yeah, yeah, Stereophile is a rag, but a stupidly...

Pronounced lanoirezi e-lerithI tried this innovative product for the first time last night. It consists of a hard rubber semi-sphere with spiky bits sticking out that screws to the ceiling in the middle of your listening room. It looks a bit like an...

Hi Alex,On another topic you mention creating your own record cleaning fluid - which is a thing I'm keen to look into, as paying fifteen quid for a tiny vial of anonymous fluid is more than probably a mug's game (who knows what it could be)?Therefore,...

Up till recently I had a Valhalla on my Linn.A major improvment was had by using an Acouustic Precision isolation transformer on the power supply.This tightened up the sound and gave much greater dynamics.I understand the Arrmageddon is an Isolation...

Has anyone else picked up this current issue of Hi-Fi News? Worth a read if you can find it.It includes an interesting comparison between Arcam's AV8, Tag's AV30R, and the AV2. There's a "Lab Report" and speaker configuration option comparison....

I understand that the US publication, Stereophile, has included the top 100 "hot products" in their 40th anniversary issue.The Linn Sondek LP12 was awarded the number 1 ranking. The NAP 250 comes in as a tie at the 32nd spot with the Great American...

How much of a difference is there (I never listened to a CD 5)?Do some listeners prefer the 3.5?
