Hi, Last year I organized a meal on the Saturday night of the show. We enjoyed an evening at a rather quirky restaurant that has live music & inexpensive Moroccan(ish) food. The turnout was small but very enthusiastic and it made for a memorable evening. I would be very happy this year to organize a similar event if you are interested. Please let me know which evening would be best & approximate numbers. Don't worry if you are on your own, you will be amongst friends! Please post on this...

The evening had already started when I arrived, 2x500 powered up and playing. Sat down and listened. The 500s are well run in as they belong to someone else...

When I listen to the NAC 52 compared to NAC 72 it sounds leaner but more controlled. I like the 72's "full body" but cannot do without a 52's more "musical" presentation. I was wondering of others felt the same way?Also, do you think Naim will address...
