I have recently changed my cdp to a CD5. The improvement is amazing. However, I have a few questions. Is the Naim interconnect directional? If yes, how to differentiate? How do we take care of the puck? Do you guys leave it in the player when you are...

Since a number of threads have made reference to the LP12 recently I thought that continuance of that theme was appropriate. The most recent Hi-Fi+ (Issue 17) had an article on sourcing a used LP12. The following is the 'bones' of some of the more...

Hi lads,I was just planning on going to bed,but before going to dreamland I wanted to share the following:Tomorrow I (probably) will visit the most flat-earth kinda Naim dealer in Holland again.(Bas V knows who I'm talking about:D )I've been trying...
